Johnny is looking every bit like the player we were worried he really was when the games matter.
As much as I like Bennett, it's easy to see that having our highest pick in franchise history turn into a grinder 3rd liner and not a franchise player has completely destroyed our team's window.
Now we're a middle of the pack team that won't bottom out enough to get the elite talent needed to win. Problem is even if we sell Gaudreau for a king's ransom and go for the tank, I have very little confidence in the players or picks we get back working out. Look what Iginla, Bouwmeester, Regehr, Cammalleri, Kiprusoff, etc. turned into for example.

I wonder this to i'm looking at a tank and quick re-tool but the track record of this scouting staff makes me wonder if we wouldn't end up with more Poirier's, Klimchuck's, Bennett's and Jankowski's. Doesn't matter who we fire or bring in if we are drafting like that still. Is Button actually that good? Serious question he keeps surviving how many management changes.
