I don't care about the Fischer's, Motte's, Lyon's, etc. who were given 1yr league min'ish deals to BE borderline AHL players.
These guys are all ^ essentially borderline AHL'ers on the roster who were given major deals by Yzerman.
I'm as pro-Yzerman and as pro-Yzerplan as they come. I think All the most important aspects of the rebuild have been executed exceptionally wonderfully, to this point.
But our Pro-Scouting and NHL talent acquisition has been a flat out F-. We should have made the playoffs last yr. We should be making the playoffs this yr. Seider, Raymond, Edvinsson, Kasper, Johansson, Soderblom, Mazur, etc. should be getting NHL playoff experience right now. These GARBAGE signings are why they're not. And there's no good reason that they shouldn't be. There's no reason whatsoever that this ^ huge chunk of cap space shouldn't have instead been spent on quality NHL players.
I don't see any new pro-scouts being hired. I don't see any of the pro-scouts who thought these signings were good ideas being fired. We haven't had an actual Pro-Scouting Director since Howe retired.
We have all this cap space. We are entering this critical crossroad of the rebuild. And we still have all these people who made all these horrible mistakes in place.
I'm quadruple red-alert terrified about what they're going to do with our cap space this summer. It doesn't seem like the errors are being addressed and corrected.
