It makes no sense to me that Darcy Regier tried to buy his way to success, despite knowing full well that Lindy Ruff has done his best work when his teams are a bunch of hard-working nobodies who buy into his system.
Ruff is responsible for the disappointing results on the ice despite the talent. But IMO, Regier deserves more blame for massively overpaying guys like Ehrhoff and Leino who are secondary pieces at best.
