Jordan Harris not even being able to crack a poor Columbus D is pretty indicative our coaching staff and pro scouts don't have the best idea about talent. Meanwhile kovacevic is a bonafide top 4 d, wonder if he makes it to free agency.

We've had too many guys skipping AHL time to develop on the fly and it's not been working well for many of them.

It means nothing. Harris was drafted by BargainBrains so what does HuGo or pro scouts have to do with anything.

Gorton during the draft video that year said teams only get so many chances to add talent and it's now difficult to add them during UFA.

Said you pretty much have to draft or get lucky to get high end talent these days and sometimes you need to take a chance. Then said but it seems like this room doesn't seem to want to take this chance but he just wanted to make sure they were making the right decision.

Certainly sounds like he was likely talking about Michkov there to me.
Tkachuk, Reinhart or Eichel. Trades are still made.
 

the valiant effort

Victor Oloffson, who I completely forgot ended up in Vegas, with his 5th goal in his 9th game. One dimensional sniper for sure but what better place for him than lurking in the weeds on a healthy Vegas team

This is a fair point.

I think Slaf should have been put in the AHL to start.
