You don't just come into the NHL as a top defence man (it's rare). I'm glad we kept guys like Cammalleri, Giordano, Glencross, etc. to provide an example of what it takes to play in the NHL. What would Brodie be like today had we just thrown him out there unaccountable from square 1.
I feel bad for who they draft, but at least they're getting paid I guess. What a way to ruin good talent.

A lot of their moves don't make sense. I am not even sure they have a well constructed plan of how they want to build their team. I find it tempting to say they are tanking again considering MacT's comments that he is "seeing lots of good things, and that they are staying pat for now". He also made comments that some guys are not ready yet to step onto the current team but are not that far off. If they needed to create a good excuse to tank without making it look obvious they are doing a good job of it.
Either that or they are completely clueless on how to build a good team.
