Lmao he was on waivers? Shero really needs to be fired.
Dustin Jeffrey is bad and was never going to see regular playing time here. This neither helps nor hurts the team.
No he needs to be fired for a lot more reasons. This is just a breaking point. Horrible asset management again. But don't worry, we have useless players that will be gone in a season or two in Kobasew and D'Agostini. Or Craig Adams that is already on his last legs
What do we do when Crosby and or Malkin get hurt? Yay let's move Sutter up who is only good at defense. Or maybe Jokinen who disappears for stretches at a time.
Jeffrey has never done jack **** worth talking about in a top 6 role, though. If this was Bennett who was getting waived I could understand, but it's not. Jeffrey is a marginal player at best - not even half the player Mark Letestu is.
You're 100% wrong and saying that makes me immediately not value any other opinion you have.
am I the only one here who thinks Jeffrey has looked better than Adams and Glass this year? He is the only one of them that can ever help keep the puck in the offensive zone.
C'mon people. Jeffery is nothing but a depth F. Waiving him isn't the end if the world. He was never going to have a shot here to play center. It's not like we waived Bennett.

its more about losing depth guys for nothing when we have aging guys who are even worse than them. We chose Eaton over Strait and now Adams/Glass over Jeffrey.
It is more to do with the fact that we've let Jeffrey go but this season will be keeping Craig Adams. Why?
And I think that's wrong. Then again, the same people sat Vitale and kept Glass and Adams in as well. And sent Megna down to play D'Agostini. So I don't know what I expect.I'll talk about Adams below, but Glass has been better than Jeffery this year. Also, that's comparing apples to oranges. Glass/Adams and Jeffery are completely different players. Obviously the Pens felt they needed their grit more than Jeffery's skill.
Craig Adams is basically what Bylsma was when he played in the NHL. That's why he has such a raging boner for him. We can wish him away all we want, but it's futile. The Pens won't be getting rid of Adams. Just accept it, then it causes much less stress.
You're not alone.
Jeffrey offers better offensive support in the zone. He can actually shoot unlike Glass an d Adams as well.

I accept it. It doesn't cause me less stress. It makes me angry when I think about it because he's not good at playing hockey.
Jeffrey is better with the puck and there's no debate he is infinitely more talented than Glass, Vitale or Adams. He's just not suited to playing 10 minutes a night in an unnatural position. He's a skilled center, not a grinding winger. And he's not skilled enough for most teams' top 3 center spots.
Dude's just way too soft for a 4th line role and way too slow for the wing.
You put it better than I did. People are just looking for excuses to bash at this point. As if the way the games are being played some nights isn't the only real excuse anyone needs. Hopefully this goes away just as quickly as the Strait thing and Tangradi thing, where most fans forget he was even here after a couple months.
And yet, our 4th line was more effective at playing hockey when Jeffrey was there than it is with Glass or Adams. Also, Jeffrey is absolutely faster than Craig Adams.Jeffrey is better with the puck and there's no debate he is infinitely more talented than Glass, Vitale or Adams.

as angry as I get about sports, yes. Not like real life angry.If you seriously get angry that Craig Adams is playing hockey then ...
I don't think Jeffery is a big loss, by any stretch, but it continues the trend of us losing serviceable young borderline NHL'rs to retain more expensive veteran one with similar talent and no upside. This is not how you operate in a cap system. we don't wear teams down in the third period like the myth the coaching staff says all the time, and if we do, its not because of the 10 minutes Glass plays a game, and gets over a million a season for, btw...
