Very well thought out post. I couldn't agree more. We did not have to make that move yesterday. It appears to have been made in haste.
When was the deadline to make that move? Was there a deadline?
And, let's say there wasn't, and the Pens go into next year, poster child for arrogance on a team with a new coach, a new system, and desperate for a new attitude. Let's say Neal doesn't get with the program. What then?
You trade him then? For what? And, what is the consequence for what MJ and Tocchet will be trying to do.
Only time will tell if this deal is right, but you people, thinking this was some situation in a bubble like a NHL '14 proposal are ignoring the type of hard choices two years too many of Shero doubling down on the same old **** made necessary.
