The holding on to guys for too long can be pinned more on ownership than management I think. However, if you are going to criticize them for that you have to also pay credit to the fact that this regime finally did something that the past one refused to do - which is move on from Iginla.
Seems to me that when it comes to identifying the bad moves, some people have a very broad definition of what to include, including moves that weren't even made, but when looking at the good stuff, they tend to be more restrictive.
I mean if were are going to slam the management for "almost" signing Richards should we not also give them credit for trying to sign a guy like Damien Brunner? Or Dan Dekeyser? I mean they look great in Detroit so I guess Feaster should get credit since he liked those guys?
