What did he give up for JJ? I imagine it was crap, which should make it a good deal.
I find it amusing how anything Shero does is treated positively and not even questioned. He trades for Morrow, Murray, Iginla and Jokinen — giving up some real good assets in the process — and he's considered god. I guarantee if Gillis gave up that much for those 4 players, there's a "Fire Gillis!" thread on this board.

I feel pretty "meh" towards Pominville.
Of those deals the only asset Pitt gave up who may come back to bite them is Joe Morrow. Picks are all going to be at the end of their respective rounds and the other prospects aren't that interesting. They're gunning for a cup this year and Shero being aggressive - but not stupid-aggressive like Philly/Holmgren - is a welcome sight.
Would you be comfortable if MG had given up Jensen for Morrow?Because Shero is loading up for a Cup run? He saw some areas to improve his team and he went out and made the improvement.

Yeah I agree. I don't think PITT gave up anything of significant value while drastically improved their chances at a cup.
Pierre McGuire defending the Penguins like it's his high school sweetheart.

Pens have a lot more depth in their prospect pool which is important to remember. Morrow doesn't equal Jensen IMO.
Joe Morrow is not the same calibre of a prospect as someone like Nicklas Jensen. Would I trade Brendan Gaunce for Brendan Morrow? Probably.
Think Gaunce is a better comparable given that Jensen seems much closer to the big show than Joe Morrow is.
Could be wrong though - I don't follow prospects that closely.
As for Pominville, while it would be a great addition I am hoping it doesn't happen. I really won't want to see the price we give up.
Funny Morrow was/is rated higher than Jensen on most prospect lists out there.
I was just being fair by listing all his moves. Iginla + Jokinen make sense. Morrow and Murray? Garbage. Even by advanced stats they're garbage.

they made some good moves, but the Morrow trade and Murray trade were pretty bad imo. Overpaid for players that just aren't that good
Two completely different situations. Pitt can afford to give up prospects like Morrow. We don't have Crosby and Malkin.
