Why wouldn't it apply to hockey? Build through the draft and groom your prospects. The Bills did it - the qb is a major piece of that but everything else also had to come into place.

Dawkins, White, Milano, Edmunds, Oliver, Davis, Rousseau, Singletary/Moss.

Not just Allen that they drafted and developed.

Still doesn’t explain walking right into arbitration with UFA the following year but I’m really trying my best to be nice about KAGM today.

Maybe from Dahlin's standpoint it does. But somehow his perspective gets lost in all of this kagm bashing

Actually he was right. They scored the most goals by 14.

Sabres had the least GA that year while having the best PK in the league.

Devils had a Goal differential of +100. Played very boring 5v5 hockey. Scored goals only to play the trap the rest of the game.

No, he was not right, in 1999-2000 when the Devils won, they scored 251 goals, Detroit scored 278. And the Devils were +48.

You're thinking of 00-01, the year they lost in the Final.

Why would he talk about a year the team lost? That's dumb as poop.

And absolutely, you play to win, it doesn't mean it wasn't boring as (frank) for 25 years though.

I’m not sure what’s crazier

JJ Peterka being a 2nd round talent or a team looking at Jack Quinn and thinking he’s worth the 8th overall pick
