So this means players like Zary and Pelletier aren’t quality?

Maybe they aren’t. Every team has guys like them, and on every team but bottom feeders and teams with too much locked up in the top line (us next year), those prospects are making their way in the AHL. It’s not like Zary or Pelletier have a history of incredible success down there, they’ve had their ups and downs.
I’m willing to buy the idea that they don’t draft enough players. Hell, I’ll sell you that idea. But it’s bogus to suggest they have a problem with promoting guys. And just as you have trouble with things you find “a bit hollow,” though, I’m having a little trouble taking you seriously if you’re going to tell me that a team that has promoted almost every good prospect they’ve had in recent history suddenly has a problem with it because you have one guy you don’t think is getting a fair shake. Who are you to say anyway?
