The last holdover from the miserable Doug Risebrough regime in Minnesota has officially been canned. Assistant GM and director of scouting Tommy Thompson has be let go. This guy was a little bit better than Douggie, but as a talent evaluator, he failed miserably. Other than Gaborik, Koivu, and maybe Burns, this guy couldn't evaluate talent at all. Not only that, but he let go so much Minnesota homegrown talent in drafts that the fans finally got to him and he says go and takes with his first rounder with the Mr Hockey award winner for 2009 - a 160 pound offensive defenseman whom was such a mistake they traded him before his freshman year for the Golden Goofups was even done. I truly believe if he had advised Fletcher to take Schroeder instead of Leddy, he would still have his job.
In the meantime, I'm looking for Edmonton to pick it up and let the Wild inhabit the NW cellar for a couple of seasons as they could really use some lottery picks as well.
It's gonna take a few years to restock the cupboard, but at least in a bare cupboard, there is room to grow...
