This organization is quickly gaining a reputation for mismanaging assets and he's no different, Therrien made all kinds of questionable decisions and Julien, though he came with a certain reputation, has showed the same patterns... All those games Galchenyuk could of gained valuable experience playing against good NHL centers went to David Desharnais and im still left wondering why..

NHL coaches are paid to win NOW otherwise their job is on the line ... unfortunately, Therrien believed that Desharnais could do a better job than Chucky at the time.
But ... this kind of short-term thinking is why the organization is now sorely paying for it.
Therrien and Desharnais are now both gone and we're stuck with a once promising prospect without any ounces of confidence left.
I know I sound like a broken record ... but WE NEED COMPETENT MANAGEMENT for Christ sakes.
It all starts with the continued drafting/development fiascos ... when you have to resort to rushing young players into roles they're not ready for, you're not only destroying them but you're also shooting yourself in the foot in the long run.
