We laugh about Tyler Kennedy, but we haven't seen this team replace Tyler Kennedy at all, so you can play that stupid card all day, everyone usually does here, but for as ugly as sin as Tyler looked, and sadly how injury prone he became, he was one of the best 3rd line wingers this team has had since the lockout, maybe even longer.
And speaking of Man-Bear-Pig face...he's a UFA. If Tyler Kennedy is open to coming back to the Penguins and reaches out, I would throw him a Comeau/Downie type of deal for 1yr.
This team would be immensely better in the bottom 6 for it.
You're right that TK got way too much hate, that he was mostly great for us and that we never replaced him, but he's beat now.
When what you've got is really crazy determination and average to below average everything else, eventually the fuel doesn't give you the same mileage and you're just a guy that's not great at anything and shoots a lot.
That's what he is now. Doesn't have the rambunctious sort of motor, so he's not great for any role any more.
