IMO, it is a combination of things.
You had a couple guys that didn't jive with the new coach...XW and Pierce. Different sheriff in town.
You had the perfect storm with a guy that rolled the dice to come to the states to play (Svoboda) and a guy that wasn't where he needed to be to get PT early and turned this into a NCAA DI tryout with his only desire to go pro. Both will either be getting paid next year or on their way to getting paid.
Crosby...it is what it is. Talent surpassed his ceiling while he was here.
Not to mention...that if any of them were wavering...the sub .500 season simply sealed the deal.
