”A lot could be said of Regier and Ruff for about the first 10 years of their run, but the last six have been difficult. Regier certainly has an eye for young talent, and his drafting has been above average during most of his tenure.

Several coaches have been hired and fired since Ruff took over, and many of those coaches have seen success in the league.’
