Those meaningful reps are ones in the AHL. Players when they are called up have to be ready. They must earn meaningful reps at the NHL level.
I like the Detroit model. Keep them in the AHL for several years. When they come up they can really contribute. I respectfully disagree your evolution theory.
I want the worst team to finish 30th. If that is the sabres so be it. A win makes us even with a game in hand. I have been calling for Murray to be fired yes. I have had a little change of heart listening to his interview the other day. I loved everything he said. I wish he had said it sooner.
I really wanted the W. I feel bad for the sabres. Every game is an away game. That really sucks for them. I want Mc Eichel just as much as anyone but not this horrible way. Sad state of affairs.
He is the only guy who stripped his roster down to nothing to finish last two years in a row. Everyone wants McDavid but no other GM would say that publicly.
We have all suffered through the plan. If I am wrong so be it but that IMHO is how I see Murray. He let's the coaches coach which is a good but is not very good at working with coaches in any other capacity. He sits on his perch dreaming of Connor.
