I don't understand Shero's strategy. Look at Despres, what has he played 50 NHL games and will be a RFA after this season. Are they going to pay him $2 million based on such a small sample? He couldn't crack a roster spot with guys like eaton Niskanen and Engelland.
We have all of these young dmen, well play them. Obviously some of this is Bylsma's fault, but these players aren't forcing their way into the lineup.
They devote most of their picks for dmen, but we are still overpaying guys like Scuderi. That's frustrating.
It's frustrating that Crosby is going to spend his career playing with decent wingers at best.
1. We don't know what Despres will get. I hope he plays well enough to earn 2 mil per based on a small sample size.
2. Scuderi is not overpaid.
3. We have, and have had "better than decent" scoring line wingers that could've been used with Sid. Why do you think Bylsma earned so much contempt last year? It wasn't because Shero didn't provide the team with enough scoring wingers. It was because he didn't budge from KCD despite having other scoring wing options.
