I love everything Hexy has done with drafting..their is a reason why they are pretty much put at the top of every prospect list.

Not so much a fan of everything else he has done to this point.

Pryor did all the drafting and finding of players didn't he ? Hextall just kept picks for Pryor to actually use.

It’s tough knowing he probably won’t do anything to help today....

I did. Nobody gives him credit. I'm sure hextall travels all over the world scouting these late round picks right ? Wrong. Pryor and his scouts are why we have our prospect pool.

He’s done okay in the drafting. Very well, and done a wonderful job of dealing the dead weight.

I’m not going to go into what I’m not a huge fan of. I’ve done that too much on here.

What would you grade a coach on ? System execution ? Personnel decisions ? Getting the best of players ? In game adjustments ? Use of time outs and challenges ? Wins and losses? Hasktol fails at these.

What do you rate a gm on ? Trades? free agent signings? Personnel decisions ? Coach hiring ? Drafting? Hextall has been average at best at all this as a whole.

I have more patience for hextall. I have none left for hasktol I didn't like the hire at the time and he's done nothing to prove me different since.

That is about as much as I will give the guy credit for as well. Everyone thinks because he was part of management in LA in those cup years he was such a big part.

I think folks are just upset more of the kids aren’t playing, and we are seeing the zombies played far too much year after year.

I strongly disagree, that more of them aren’t ready. Could be wrong there I suppose of course.

Will say Hak gets a lot of heat for some unfounded things but I would say his clubs have a very robotic/calm feel.

It’s a tough time to be a fan, that’s for sure.

He doesnt even sit them during a game...but he will put out the likes of a Weise and Lehtera infinal 3 minutes down a goal.

Let's not do any coaching during the timeout. Why would we do that. Let's just sit silently

That was our mistake. We should of traded for Tarasenko and paired him with Schenn.
