This explains the theory that Lievo and Ritchie and Simon, Czarnik might magically become top-6 players if they were gifted an opportunity.
Somehow they were not able to bite the bullet with Bennett (who had exhibited flashes of top-6 talent) past his 1st year
What has Ruzicka done to show he might work with Johnny and Tkachuk?

This gets old really quick.
The team has Mangiapane pushing into the top six (home grown), Dube chasing him (home grown), a defense core with three of their top seven and one of their top four home grown. They went out and acquired a youngish goaltender and put him in the lineup.
All teams add tweeners as PTOs or NHL min hoping one of them pop. Hell Pittsburgh brought back Simon after his face plant season.
Makes perfect sense to me that Conroy, being in mgmt is excited about seeing guys they drafted and where they're at and is disappointed.
There's nothing more to this.
