It's not always about developing top-six players for an NHL roster. You have to have depth players that can move all around the roster and contribute.

Tim Murray completely neglected the Amerks and his prospect pipeline suffered for it. Started a guy like Alex Nylander off on the wrong foot, and I thought Taylor did all he could to help him be better....
And before Murray, Regier had not had a great track record for drafting good prospects. So sure, maybe you find a decent replacement for Taylor, but you don't have to try and fix what's not broken. He was the best the team had in several years.
