Hynes is not good and Shero is an idiot for hanging on to him, for sure. But maybe Shero's just a bad GM too, eh? He makes a great trade now and then and people forget that he hasn't really done anything as the GM of a team that has had to build a team himself. He's been awful with the Devils, and he won in Pittsburgh on the back of Patrick's core. As soon as he had to really put his mark on the team in terms of building the roster, he stumbled miserably.
Shero and Bylsma probably cost the Sid/Geno era at least one Cup through sheer incompetence alone. The Pyatts, the Comries, the Chris Bourques, the Kobasews, the Winniks, and blueliners like Murray, Eaton, Scuderi, and even Orpik. Just awful rosters that simply wasted years of some of the best players ever to play the game in Sid and Geno.
