Since they repeat this claim over and over, what young player has JC actually developed that every press release they bleat how he's great at developing young talent?
Joker developed in the NHL by Duncan Keith and Q. JC pushed him back into the A where he didn't belong.
Kampf? Kampf was solid defensively from the beginning and hasn't advanced above being nothing but a warm body who's responsible in his own zone.
Dach? By pilfering him on the fourth line most of his rookie year?
Cat went backwards, Strome went backwards, Kubi was a 24 year old rookie polished in europe and came here a finished product. Kookoo? Another young vet who didn't break out until last year's playoffs and they didn't resign, Boqvist? By playing him with Keith? Yeah that sure took brains.
Just Stan trying to justify getting rid of the best coach this franchise ever had.
