To Sutter apologists and guys like Jiri, every team faces the same probability of bad luck or poor timing. Todd Button has been drafting for 10 years and our drafting and development has been putrid. We all know how shallow and mediocre the list of draftees is. Things have not worked out here a long time for whatever reason so it's time to find someone else. The bottom line is results and we never see any. Todd Button needs to go and, in my opinion, Darryl along with him.
People say we have a lot on the team now, let players develop until the point they earn a promotion. Well, we're 10 years into Button's drafting and nearly 7 with Darryl as GM, at what point do these guys make the jump? For every guy that has (Kobasew, Boyd, Pardy, Prust, Dion), they are either gone or benched.
People say Darryl had nothing in the pipeline and had to go with low risk picks, well, what do we have to show for that? You people that hang your hopes on Nemisz, Irving, Brodie, Wahl and House are the same people that hung your hopes on Ryder, Chucko and Pelech a few years ago. Jesus, what will it take for people to say I'm not seeing any results to believe year 8 of the Sutter plan will be any better than any of the previous 7 in Darryl's apparent 20 year plan? Good lord. These people are paid money to do their jobs aren't doing it, find someone else. Remember, Darryl had no experience when he took over this job (and it shows).
