It's annoying. The two significant jobs they had coming into a rebuilding team was to revamp the development and, more importantly, the scouting. I'm not confident in the scouting. You can't go into a rebuild while missing all of your top picks.

They haven't missed any top picks yet. And most of the 2nd and 3rd rounders look good to great.

Ditto. Seems they just rushed into it. Why they kept Lapointe is beyond me as well.

Because Lapointe & Hughes go back 30+ years? Or Gorton was the one to get Lapointe to have Bergeron live with him during their Bruin days?

So HuGo trust him to do the job because they know his capabilities?

But you’re confident in the development? Have you seen the 1OA’s development?

That’s how life works - leaders hire “their people”… that includes Gordie Clarke who headed scouting when Kreider & Sheshterkin were selected

The truth but not the whole truth.

Yes, people hire their friends, but they also make new friends over time, also the best people often have the highest quality friends.

It's comical but they might be nailing everyone but Slafkovsky.

Hutson, Reinbacher, Roy, Beck, Mesar, etc are not being rushed. Barron is being handled well as well.

Lol... TSN has an articles on whether Leafs are suffering from lack of toughness... But... but... Reaves?!

I saw something last week where Reaves was like the worst player in the league advanced stats-wise. Even a thought guy is useless if he can't keep up with the play.
