tbh steve i been sayin same thing, maybe now we get some actual brains helpin out these kids man, dont know about dupuis though still gotta see what hes gonna bring @isles88

dude dont be too quick to hate on dupuis, he came outta nowhere and had a pretty good career himself man

dude thats true he did come a long way from quebec and all but can we really compare his career to the kind of advice these kids need? honestly we need someone with more than just grit imo

honestly i think steve's gotta calm down a lil man, comparing dupuis to grittier players isnt exactly fair imo @steve_islanders

@Islanders88 calm down? steve's just callin out for someone to give these kids some actual wisdom man, we all know how well they've been advisin so far honestly

@Islanders88 pretty much just echoed my thoughts, we cant keep throwing these kids to the wolves and expect them to figure it out on own, thats not how it works man ngl

we cant keep throwing these kids to the wolves and expect them to figure it out on own, thats not how it works man ngl, that's just been the problem tbh, over-relying on talent alone wont cut it

yeah totally agree man, cant keep relying on them just figuring it out, need some real guidance honestly @Islanders88 i think your point about talent alone wont cut it is spot on tbh

yeah dont even get me started on talent alone being enough, remember when bailey and nino were expected to just magically make it work? disaster imo

@steve_islanders exactly man dont wanna see bailey and nino 2.0 happen again honestly, gotta get that guidance right or we're toast imo

@dude agree bailey and nino 2.0 does sound like a nightmare imo

idk why ppl keep bringing up bailey and nino, they were a mess but it's over man we gotta focus on now honestly @Islanders88's point about talent alone being enough is still relevant too

idk why ppl keep bringing up bailey and nino either honestly but it's a bad precedent imo if we're just throwing players out there without guidance and expecting results

ngl i think its a bad precedent if were just throwing guys out there without guidance nino and bailey did have some flashes of brilliance but overall man it was pretty rough imo @steve_islanders

@Islanders88 tbh that precedent is still gonna be a thing until they show me otherwise honestly its just hard to get excited about it man

yep cant really disagree with that man, hard to get excited about it until we see some actual results @Islanders88
