Drafting and developing talent has been holding this organization back for decades, its probably the single biggest reason the team is where it is now. There's nothing Jarome can do about that.

I certainly am not scapegoating the guy, I am just saying that he is not the great leader that everyone says he is IMO. I have probably said 100 times if I have said it once on this forum that he is a great goalscorer, probably the greatest goalscorer of his generation. I have said that he is the Brett Hull of his generation, both in goal scoring ability and his consistency in bringing it each and every night and his commitment to the non offensive parts of the game. Nobody is sitting there saying that he is not a great player, just that he is not a great captain. Henrik Sedin is a great player but he is not a great captain. Joe Thornton is a great player, not necessarily a great captain. Iggy is in their category as a captain, not a Toews category, that is all I am saying.
