54 goals? Must've been the money!
He did a job, and he did it well. The Oilers had an elite PK and he was used heavily for dzone faceoffs and in defensive situations. Certainly a little more offensive pop would be useful but his usage allowed the big guns more offensive opportunities, and that shouldn't be ignored. I'd be happy to have him back as Kharia nor Haas have the faceoff acumen to be sure fire replacements. In fact i'd bring all 3 back to battle for ice time and for adequate center and PK depth. It's about roles and having the appropriate players to fill them.
Yeah but if you have the chance to sign Haula at 3-3.5 I think you take that to the bank.
I’m not saying that Sheahan doesn’t do a good job at his role, but if you have the chance to upgrade that position why wouldn’t you?
