To Be Really Good - You Have to Be Really Bad
Monday, March 16th, 2009Here is an interesting article in which I tend to agree. Look around the league. The teams that have gotten really good for the most part have done it mostly through the draft.
Accumulating high draft picks is usually a good way to rebuild.
The historic or great players are picked in the top 10 players in the draft. The best of the best are usually picked in the top 3 or 4.
We have been fortunate in that our young core - Ovechkin, Semin, Backstrom and Green - have all been drafted by us in the first round, groomed and developed within our system. Some came to us via a trade of a vet player where we got a first round pick in return and some came where we earned the pick by being really bad the season before. There is a price to pay for picking high sad to say. Without pain, it is hard to get gain as far as the draft is concerned.
The Long Road Back
Monday, March 16th, 2009I am very happy for Brian Pothier. He will make his long anticipated return to the NHL on this road trip.
I was in Boston at the game when he was injured. I have spoken to Brian and offered my encouragement and support to him and his family over the last two years. His safety and well-being are our main concerns. His career is secondary to us and to him.
