Not surprising.
Dogshit players convince themselves that intangibles and toughness are everything so they can pretend that they have value and helped their teams.

Never been more sure of anything than if John Scott put on a Flyers jersey, he'd be a pro scout right now.

Patrice Bergeron has been on one Stanley Cup winning team in his entire career. If the key was playing a strong two-way game like these guys always say wouldn’t that have manifested itself in more championships.
Or reality is it isn’t easy to win championships & there isn’t really an exact formula. Just try to build the best teams you can & hope for some luck. So making narratives based around that isn’t really wise.

Well, this is the same organization that gift wrapped a coaching career to a guy who blocked a shot with his face. You don't get more intangibly than that.

We have a development coach who played 16 career games with the Flyers and 6 games with the Phantoms, who should've been cut in camp if not for our GM salivating over a player who was playing in England the previous season. Lappy's cockroach ability withstanding, how this other schmuck got his Flyers tenure is on its own lazy tier. Hell, even Other Development Guru, Nick Schultz, played 189 games.

Never underestimate the ability to say yes sir/no sir and desire to ball lick. Seriously, as long as you're willing to swallow all self respect and grovel before the BSB altar, this organization will find a home for you... provided you weren't a soft p***y in your playing days.

There is not a formula but certain things imo make it easier.
There’s a pro and con to it all.
Two way players are “better” because they ply both sides of the ice. If their ability starts and ends with being able to play both sides that’s an issue. If they don’t do anything past that particularly well, congrats you have a third liner or a good fourth liner.
If they have either stellar offense of defense and can play both sides, congrats you have Bergeron or coots.
If they play one side so/so, you have a third or fourth liner, maaaybe a second liner.
If they specialize in offense, you have a first or second liner, and specialize in defense you have a defenseman.
Chasing every player to play both sides hurts you in any lack of specialization.
Ignoring players that play both sides hurts your fluidity.
You have to either find the happy medium there or also know what your weakness are are AND know how to not just hide but over coach them.
I do appreciate that they gave him a job and have no doubts that in this current staffing environment, it would never happen. I also think that it did not need to be that job.

It sure is. But an empty skull is great for triggering Tortz and inching closer to a freakout at a future press conference.

Clown shoes are funny, Sam. That's the org you work for. You're the spinning bow tie, and you don't even know it.
TBF he didn't say what kind of "executive" it was.

Yzerman, Ovi and MacKinnon were "guys you can't win with in the playoffs" and branded chokers until they weren't.
In McDavid's case, I don't see how anyone with a brain can blame him. Short of an effort even better than last year's POs, ntil he and Drai are surrounded by better depth and backed by actual NHL defense and goalies, they're not winning, and it's not their faults.
