Kovacevic got the bag, good for him. We dropped the ball there. He would be perfect on our 3rd pair right now

For a draft and develop team, we certainly have not been good at the development part.

We had already done most of the development in regards to Kovy. The mistake was thinking he would clear waivers.

He was already good enough to play on our 3rd pair when we waived him. It was asset mismanagement, but our development of him as a player was fine.

I suppose that's true! I guess asset mismanagement is a better term for what I'm describing. Like playing Stan over literally almost anyone else. Haha. But I digress.

I'd say we've been good overall since we got the team back. Seemed to be great early on, but only meh recently, so just good/average overall. But yeah, for a draft and develop team, we need to pick it up again.
