Mehhh we win more than losing drafting just look at the pipeline 

Recently but a lot of Rutherford’s picks were flat out luck (Aho, Slavin, Pesce, etc.)

We missed on a ton first round talent during JR’s tenure to select guys like Jake Bean, Julien Gauthier, Haydn Fleury, Ryan Murphy, Philippe Paradis, and Zach Boychuk.

Success occurred once we started nailing first round picks like Svechnikov, Necas, and Jarvis.

Those came around when Rod became a part of the coaching….

And Waddell took over for Francis/JR.

Though I believe Necas was a Francis pick.

In reality the best picks during that tenure didn’t even have their best years in Carolina (Lindholm and Hanifin).

Waddell has done a lot of good for this franchise.

So, is Donnie Wads better at drafting or making deals?

Tough to say but I’d lead toward drafting.

Svechnikov, Drury, Kochetkov, and Jarvis are NHL’ers.

Nikishin, Ponomarev, Blake, Morrow, FUS, and Nadeau all look promising.

The only disappointment is Suzuki and injuries killed his career before it even got started.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
