I never called Shero a genius for the return he got for Staal. I thought the deal hurt the Penguins significantly.

I have heaped praise on Shero for other moves he's made. His hands were tied with Staal, so he did the best he could, but hockey wise, not a trade the helps the Penguins at all imo.

Please say WHERE you read stuff. All of us have some idea of who is a legit source and who is just throwing stuff out there (different stuff every hour) to try to be right and crow.

Thank you.

we could use the breathing room under the cap. I wouldn't mind working a deal with them for those terms.
- JoeRussomanno


In which case I would be getting Lilja, Shelley and Walker off the cap.

I have given Shero his due in the past. Guy has done a great job. His hands were tied with Staal, I'm sure he did the best he could possibly do under the circumstances. But hockey wise, that trade didn't help Pittsburgh. Staal by far was the best player in the deal.

- Slammed81

If he misses one game for any reason (doesn't have to be sent down) or averages less than 25 mins a game the bonus is gone.

I'll give him the bene of the doubt, if Dreger is saying this on the radio it'll be all over the news real soon.

i agree with that assessment

i just remember from draft weekend everyone killing homer and comparing it to the fantastic job the pens did at the draft. thought you were in that crowd, but i could remember incorrectly
