If you just go off the drafts he ran (2022-2024) large majority of the picks look pretty good so far. But it’s also too early to judge.

This ENHANCES our ability to find diamonds in the rough. Clark is very well respected, this is as big of a development as we've had this summer. Whether it's a top 5-10 pick or a late rounder his forte is to be able look at a group of prospects and pick the most sure fire can't miss out of the bunch without necessarily compromising on their high end potential.
This is big news!

I feel even better about a rebuild than I did a day ago. Obviously it'll take some time but we're in really good hands I believe.I was going to say this might be the biggest get we got this summer.
That is not saying a lot with what we have.
Hyperbolic. despite playoff failureWhy would you ever doubt bringing in multiple people from one of the most unsuccessful organizations in the last 15 years?
Hyperbolic. despite playoff failure
8 straight playoff apps and 6 100 pt seasons in last 7 years does not qualify you as “one of the most unsuccessful orgs” in the league.
Tree def gonna run them into the ground though
aaannnd there it is.Easy to be a 100 pt team when you have a core that you inherited.
Unless you are Kyle Dubas in PIT apparently..
Because Shanahan ruined it.Why would you ever doubt bringing in multiple people from one of the most unsuccessful organizations in the last 15 years?
Context is important, he inherited dinosaurs, not players in their primes.Easy to be a 100 pt team when you have a core that you inherited.

His agenda is so damn obvious, why doesn't this board wise up and see the troll job he performs each day?aaannnd there it is.

No you just went back to being incredibly reductive after you had no real rebuttal for the fact the Leafs aren’t “one of the most unsuccessful orgs” in recent memory.There what is?
Sorry, I should defend the consistent loser who is bringing in his batch of losers like Jason Spezza and some guy whose best pick was either Sean Durzi or Matthew Knies?

Their franchise sucks in the grand scheme of things but they’ve been solid the last 8 years. Far from bottom feeders.
For someone who didn't want to be here (Pittsburgh) and couldn't wait to be traded, it's weird he's still around in the summer time.Something to watch...
Crosby is back in town. Haase said he skated with Brian Dumoulin and Reilly Smith prior to development camp today. I wouldn't be surprised if something gets ironed out soon.
Probably, since it includes a Cup.So the Penguins have been solid the last 8 years too?

If you go past 7 years, not really for the Pens. We’re very middle of pack. I would say the Leafs have had the better past 7 years despite playoff series won being equal because they’ve had better RS’s and made the playoffs each year.
yea, that’s what I said.It's sad that the Pittsburgh Penguins fans are content with being the Toronto Maple Leafs at this point.
It's also sad that the ownership seems to be okay with that too.
Dumoulin makes sense because he has roots in Pittsburgh because of how long he played there. Smith's been around less than a calendar year, and likely didn't plant roots (he probably rented versus buying a new home in a place he didn't want to be).It's probably not been long enough for him to move after the trade.
I bet Dumoulin is similar, he probably still has a house in Pittsburgh but just got traded from Seattle to Anaheim. Probably easier to set up in Pittsburgh until the move is totally organized.
yea, that’s what I said.
you never addressed the original point and ONLY point I made. Which that it was hyperbolic to call the Leafs one of the worst orgs in recent times.
sigh. You’re truly impossible.Sorry. The Leafs are a stunning example of success and I for one will enjoy the continued amount of success their discard pieces will contribute to the Penguins.
Trades like Kevin Hayes for a 2nd put us in a place where we can compete now and build for the future. Truly magnificent work by noted mastermind Kyle Dubas.
He isn't.I hope you are nice to your mother![]()
I would imagine it's because he hasn't officially moved to NY yet. Probably easier to do that closer to training camp.For someone who didn't want to be here (Pittsburgh) and couldn't wait to be traded, it's weird he's still around in the summer time.
