upon Sather's arrival was a departure from that mentality. He hadn't, as he brought in a 40 year old Mess, a one-hit-away-from-retirement-or-usefulness Lindros, and many others that didn't work, while giving away a pick here, and a pick there. One thing I do not fault him for is the lack of the #1 pick he had to start his tenure, and some of the dead weight with which he was saddled - all of whom he did kind of promise he wasn't afraid to send to Hartford, but only one of whom made it to the AHL - so as to scare the others - which never worked.
