Great read from Dom here.
The fire from the hip world's going to end, folks might not agree, but if you do some investigating for yourselves, peeling back the onion exposes more to the problem, over everything's Ryan Mougenel's fault.
Player accountability can't be glazed over.

@BlackAndGold277 That much is true about drafting and developing…Was Chiarelli a genius during his time, or was it a series of fortunate decisions, luck, and lightning in a bottle.Whatever the recipe there’s no straight line to success…

@ringo6363 Drafting and developing a player is such a gamble and not 100% accurate. I honestly don't know how many players Bruce Cassidy developed and advanced to the NHL for consistent stints. I don't believe it was many.

Before Tom Selleck became one of the biggest stars on television, he was sleeping in his car, filming toothpaste commercials, and getting rejected at audition after audition.
For years, Hollywood told him he simply didn’t have “it.”
He almost believed them.
Selleck grew up in California thinking sports would be his future.
He studied business at USC, played basketball, and never seriously imagined becoming an actor.
Then someone suggested he try acting classes.
At first, he thought the idea sounded ridiculous.
But eventually he gave it a shot.
And for a long time, nothing happened.
He appeared in commercials for Pepsi and Close-Up toothpaste just to survive.
Some days the phone never rang.
Some days he wondered if he was wasting his life chasing something impossible.
Still, he kept showing up.
Then, in 1980, CBS cast him as Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I..
Everything changed.
The show became a massive hit.
Audiences loved Magnum — charming, funny, confident, but still human.
Tom Selleck won an Emmy and suddenly became one of the most recognizable faces in America.
And then Hollywood offered him the role of a lifetime.
In the early 1980s, Steven Spielberg was casting a new adventure movie about an archaeologist with a whip and a fedora.
Tom Selleck was the first choice.
By most accounts, Spielberg loved his audition.
He had the look.
The charisma.
The humor.
There was just one problem:
CBS refused to release him from his Magnum contract.
So the role went to Harrison Ford instead.
The character was Indiana Jones.
One of the most iconic roles in movie history.
For decades, people asked Selleck if he regretted losing it.
He always answered the same way:
No.
He said Magnum, P.I. had been a gift and he was grateful for the life it gave him.
And maybe that’s what makes his story different from most Hollywood stories.
At the height of his fame, Tom Selleck slowed down instead of chasing more.
He married actress Jillie Mack.
Started a family.
Bought an avocado ranch in California.
Turned down projects that would keep him away from home too long.
While Hollywood obsessed over fame and reinvention, Selleck quietly built a life he actually wanted.
Then in 2010, he returned to television in Blue Bloods, playing Frank Reagan for 14 seasons.
No scandals.
No public meltdowns.
No desperate chase to stay relevant.
Just decades of steady work, family, and a career built on patience.
Tom Selleck spent years being told he’d never make it.
Then he lost the biggest role of his generation for reasons completely outside his control.
And somehow, instead of becoming bitter, he decided what he already had was enough.
That may be the rarest Hollywood ending of all.
