Fire Rejean Shero
Rejean Shero has become a terrible GM over the last 3 years. He cannot draft forwards, he cannot sign forward free agents, he has an obsession with keeping beyond their prime veterans on this team, he has not made one of his great trades in 3 seasons, every off-season he is beyond conservative and Marc Andre Fleury is still our goalie after 5 post-season collapses. We need someone to come up here and fix this mess now.
Why is this important?
You have the two best players in the game and continue year after year fail to surround them with 2 respectable players. Neal and Kunitz are fine, but Sid should not be stuck with Dupuis/Bennett/Stemp and Geno should not be stuck with Jokinen. Kunitz will only start to decline from here on out. Sadly, these are some of the better forwards that these two have played with. Sid and Geno are no longer 20 years old, it is time to properly utilize them. STOP signing guys like Orpik and Scuderi. They are not good players. Stop only drafting Dmen. You should probably play some young guys regularly to save cap space and to maximize their value.
Shero's 2013 off-season:
Re-signed: Dupuis and Adams
Signed: Kobasew, Jeffrey, D'Agostini, Scuderi
3 of these idiots were waived
Shero's #1 mistake - signing Bylsma to an extension
Shero should be relived of his duties. His strategy of modeling the team after the Nashville Predators, yes, those Predators who have won 2 playoff series in their history.
