Another "bust" from Whitby?

When the Gens picked up Daniel Pachis I thought that might have been a good move for the price. He was a first round selection and they usually pan out. I think I read somewhere that his G.M. said he lost his confidence in Saginaw which may be the case. He looks like he has skills but doesn't seem aggressive at times. I hope he is not the second coming of another highly rated Whitby product with the initials M.M.! Your thoughts?

or another Cody Musselman.

He also had a serious knee injury which seems to have stunted his development. Hopefully he works hard and improves but even if he doesn't, all the Generals gave up was a conditional 10th round pick. These sorts of trades are worth it, even if it doesn't work out, you haven't lost anything.

He is a 1991. He may have had his development slowed as beats says. He seems to have decent hands around the net.

You have to make these kind of trades to see if a kid can develop in a different situation. He is far different from MM.

Oh. I had/have no problem with the trade; just commenting on a perceived lack of production for a first rounder. I'd give up a 10th, albeit a conditional, anytime to have a boo at a first. We might still get two good years out of him. I'd forgotten about that knee injury, too!

just another underachiever !!! there are lots around !!!

for what we gave up, its good depth at worst

one way of looking at it , i call it a lateral move , give up nothing , get nothing in return !
