Is it the scouting? The development? I just can't believe it is all down to bad luck for 35 years. I would really like us to grab to Clark this off-season, as he is apparently leaving VAN. He is a proven goalie whisperer, and I really want to see if he makes a material difference, much like we were all anxious to see a real coach behind the bench...
It is certainly a result of bad luck the last decade or so. Gillies was tracking just fine through the start of his rookie pro season, which ended with a serious injury, and he has never looked the same since. Parsons was a phenom in Juniour and a star on the US Gold Medal championship WJC team. But he has struggled with well documented mental health issues and nagging injuries since tbe start of his pro career. These are not scouting or developmental shortcomings of the organization.
