I don't really have a problem with Bylsma so far.
The Penguins would basically have to miss the playoffs for Bylsma to get fired. And it wouldn't take long before everyone on here would hate his replacement just as much.
The only way Bylsma gets fired is if the team is swept in the first round and are decidedly out coached in every game while getting swept.
Shero fought for him this offseason & had a part in hiring him for USA. It would take a monumental collapse for it to even be considered.
Lets not act like it's all Bylsma though a lot of it is. Shero has given him the worst roster we've had in several years. We've lost Cooke, Staal, Kennedy over the last couple years & replaced them with Sutter, Glass, Adams, Kobasew. This roster is a mess.
The pens #1 problem is Shero
No it's fans who know so little about managing a team that they look at a guy like Shero and claim he's terrible.
But go ahead and enlighten us. With the cap being what it is, top salaries being what they are and your knowledge of available players Shero could've had instead of Kobasew, etc... show us the way. Maybe shero will read this and be inspired by your brilliance.
If you want to criticize him that's one thing but then for your criticism to mean anything, you have to back it up with realistic alternatives and examples of what other GMs in similar situations did... things which Shero passed on based on some evidence you have beyond "HFB posters said it was a better way!"
