Chucky, Bennett, Monahan, Gaudreau, Hanifin and many others. It makes you sick knowing how much our city/country is not attractive to most players.

I don't believe it's the city anymore. It's never been a country thing. Look at every other Canadian city . No other Canadian city has a retention of top talent problem . #### Winnipeg has made it further than us multiple times in the last decade. Ottawa is going to.have their tkachuk much longer than us. I did at one point but looking back at the history of this franchise it's always been management.
The teams managers is always #### because ownership has always been #### since 1990. Bad trades and bad drafting. Kidd over brodour etc etc... the only 2 highlights is Joe for Jerome,Sutter amusing Kipper, maybe Trelivings trade with Carolina, if you stretch it out. Got lucky on us picking tkachuk ( van flubbed) . Would also argue we picked out the park at JG in a fourth round.
Been a fan A LOOOONNNG TIME. Management has always sucked . Ownership has always been cheap. Mediocrity will always be baked in when shopping at Walmart, Kmart,target level for staff.
