yeah that teams management is something else, well the whole organization is I guess. The miss use of prospect Nino Niederreiter is ridiculous, 4th line duties for a 5th overall pick. I watched this kid play he is going to be good, if given the chance. The Islanders have a history of making bad calls on prospects, like trade Chara he isn't going to be any good anyway, clearly they were not taking a close look at what they had.

Maybe it's just Millbury, he has a history of bad decisions.
