I'll throw in Beau Bennett or Gibbons.
Scuderi was the top defensive pair for the PK that was like 90% these playoffs and that's with Fleury/we saw how bad it was for the Pens last 2 years without him. Sharks was like 75% these playoffs towards the bottom. He's use to West Coast hockey.
Move Hertl back to his natural position of center for 2nd or 3rd line.
Marleau - Thornton - Neal
Bennett - Couture - Nieto
Sheppard - Hertl - Wingels
That's sexy and you addressed defense.
Honestly at this point I'm starting to wonder if you are even being serious. You can't possibly think Scuderi has any value to use. We are trying to get rid of Stuart and Hannan, not add their clone.
We need top-4 puck moving offensive minded d-men. We need players who move the puck up the ice quickly and put up points. Our only two consistent top-4 dmen are Vlasic and Braun, neither of which put up many points. Demers is up and down, but he's our ONLY offensive d-man at this point with Boyle leaving.
We need Letang, not Scuderi.
