A great defense of Tom Renney -- though, I am not such the fan -- but you make a good point that with players locked in to these contracts, there is only one place to point the finger.

This organization is just a year or two away from having a roster full of players that renney has seen when they were hardly in junior hockey and knows what to expect from them. Instead a sulking Jagr and an overpaid D-corp may cost him his job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152316208138615862.post-14804186281360845972008-01-22T10:00:00.000-08:002008-01-22T10:00:00.000-08:00A few comments to a good post, Jess.

There's another guy in management, I won't say his name, who brought these players to NY, and gave them the contracts that in some cases make disposing of them difficult. I'm not saying its likely that HE would go before Renney, but I'm saying he shouldn't be absolved of fault.<BR/><BR/>Second, anyone who thinks Chris Drury was going to be a 40 goal scorer in this league has not watched Chris Drury play. And I don't believe he was brought here on his cumulative goal scoring ability. He was brought here because he scores "clutch" goals. He was brought he because he plays well in all situations and adds 2nd/3rd line depth. But if anyone in the NYR organization or the fans expected him to be a large offensive contributor, they were foolish - he is a guy who scores 20+ goals a year, and score 60 or so points a year. Always has been, always will be. He is on pace for 51 points, so yes, he will be at the lower end of his career average, but it is nothing unexpected.AWFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17463810804772866727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152316208138615862.post-15094328589357479402008-01-22T09:20:00.000-08:002008-01-22T09:20:00.000-08:00Great post Jess.
