just read about dupuis joining the islanders as director of player development tbh think its a solid hire hes got some nhl experience and knows how to develop wingers which they need badly in long island now lets see what else they do with those top picks
yeah no big deal about dupuis joining the isles but didnt know he had nhl experience tbh should help em out with their young d-core which has been pretty shaky lately
@sectionsam_sabres: honestly not sure what to think about dupuis joining the isles ngl i'm more worried about our own development system and if they're gonna bring in someone with experience too
