I love how Milbury goes "The team's not been good.." Funny part is that at this point they actually had a pretty good talent base. Consider the fact that they drafted: D- Redden, Chara, Kasparaitis, McCabe Forwards - Bertuzzi, Palffy, Green, Dumont Goalie - Luongo, Salo Let's assume they don't take DiPetrio in 2000 and instead draft Gaborik/Heatley, and they don't trade Chara and the 2001 1st for Yashin. Final team would have been thus: D - Redden, Chara, Kasparitis, McCabe F - Bertuzzi, Palffy, Green, Dumont, Gaborik/Heatley, Spezza G - Luongo, Salo That's amazing. Of course, Milbury, being Milbury, found ways to get rid of virtually ALL of that talent.

Many great players have had long and success careers in the NHL without winning the Stanley Cup. Thornton is one of them. The fact that he's still in the game 15 years later and commanding the salary he does ultimately means he made it.

The wheelers and dealers of the NHL. You never know how a draft will ultimately pan out. Some succeed, some don't. At the end of the day, it a gamble. You can only go based on statistics and how the prospect is currently performing at that time. It's interesting to see how those behind the scenes make the tough decisions to choose which new guy they want.

@@SmoothCriminal12 Well. He traded Chara and his 1st pick to Ottawa for Alexei Yashin. That pick turned out to be 1st overall and it was Jason Spezza. He also drafted Rick DiPietro 1st overall, who turned out to be... Somewhat injury prone. And with that goalie in the bank, he traded Luongo AND Olli Jokinen to Florida for basically nothing (Parrish and Kvasha). Both turned out to be great players for Florida. One of them still is :) Trading Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan McCabe and the pick Vancouver drafted Jarkko Ruutu with to Vancouver for an aging Trevor Linden. He also traded Chris Osgood to St.Louis and Osgood performed well immediately. And traded a rising star Bryan Berard (until his injury) to Toronto for Felix Potvin. Signed DiPietro to his batshit insane contract. And signed Yashin to a 10 year 90 million contract (which was massive at that time). He's made some really REALLY bad decisions over the years.

Some of these General Managers are too cheap, and they wonder WHY ticket sales are low and their team is doing getting shit kicked year after year. Money talks. If you want a winning team, simply souting and drafting smart will not cut it. You need to play the free-agent market and bring in the best players available. Talent costs money, and lots of it. Basically, you have to spend money to make money. You want to sell-out every game of the season, then bring in some talented players.

I just did a one hour doc on JP Dumont (he was Luango's teamate in Val D'Or). In his last year in Junior he tore up the league and his rights belonged to Milbury. In the play-offs of the LHQJM (Wuebec major hunior) his team won the chamionship over Vinny LeCalvalier's team. JP scored 31 goals in 18 games in the play-offs beating Mario Lemieux's alltime record. Mike's comment to him...."we don't feal you did enough" He traded him. That record still stands today and he has a string career in the NHL.
