I think PMart should be Alex Picard's partner, but his NMC prevents it.

Perhaps the delicate genius Shero could have had some foresight and not let it come to the FA market in the first place? Then he doubled down losing a decent draft pick before overspending on the M&M connection.

Scuderi is succeeding in the defense-orientated Kings system -- similar to the way Martin succeeded in the defense-oriented Devils system and they way Michalek succeeded in the defense-oriented Coyotes system. I wonder how many here would be berating Shero for retaining Scuderi at that price if he was playing in Bylsma's offense-oriented system that doesn't favor immobile, one-dimensional defenders? Think the results would be the same as they are with Martin and Michalek?
It's real easy to see the green grass. It's not quite as easy to look at things in perspective.
...I think that's a good signing for him. The Pens smartly can't match that. I would have liked to have Scuderi back, but not at the expense of a Gonchar or Letang after the season.

Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Staal-Malkin-Kennedy
Cooke-Lestetu-Borque
Rupp-Talbot-Adams
Letang-Scuderi
Gonchar-Orpik
Eaton-Gogo
That would ahve all fit under the cap with no problem.

That lineup... It's so bad that it hurts my soul. You have Kennedy miscast as a scoring line winger, a 3rd line with the dynamic duo of letestu and bork, an overrated and aging Mark Eaton, and lady gogo still stinking up our back end.
Unless you are joking, then it is hilarious. Impossible to tell with you

the counter to that is fedotenko and guerin were abysmal that year, so whoever they would be replaced with weren't going to make things much worse.
