But TruJoe… there are no ‘Potential’ Stanley Cups available and I’ve never seen a Cup awarded to the team with the most ‘Perceived Talent’.
You only win playoffs and a Cup when your talent = performance. Until then, it’s only hope.
You either win and PROVE your talent or stay home and THINK you have potential.
Which would you rather have?
As long as HOPE and POTENTIAL remain the Avs strategy, you’ll enjoy much of the same.
PS – I said MANY MANY times that Duchene and others have GREAT potential. Again your last sentence sums it all up correctly. Avs coaching and player development stinks…. period.
