Pittsburgh Penguins: Ray Shero’s Moves Look Better As Players Fail Elsewhere Source: Bleacher Report
One of the questions that Penguins GM Ray Shero had to field most often this past summer was “Are you bringing Billy Guerin back?” Guerin had become a local folk hero of sorts in the Penguins march to the Stanley Cup in 2009 but was a free agent following last year’s early playoff exit. Shero never came out and said it in part because of the respect that Guerin had earned, but the team had moved on.Coaches and scouts had come to the conclusion that atage 39 Guerin was running on empty through the second half of last season and didn’t fit a team in real need of scoring from its wingers. Guerin spent the summer looking for work and agreed to a tryout with the Philadelphia Flyers . But the Pens judgment on him now seems spot on after he posted a single goal and was a horrid minus-four in a shellacking by the Buffalo Sabres the other night. This morning the Flyers released Guerin. Up in Toronto the guy who Pens fans worried most about losing got some bad news as well. Luca Caputi was shipped to the AHL this morning by the Toronto Maple Leafs . The former fourth round draft choice had been dealt north of the border at the trade deadline for winger Alexei Ponikarovsky who turned out to be one of the largest busts in Shero’s tenure. The big winger scored twice in 16 regular season games and only once in the playoffs for the Pens in 2010. So bad was his performance thatPonikarovsky spent most of the summer looking for work before landing in Los Angeles … The rest is here
Evgeni Malkin of Pittsburgh Penguins Ready to Avenge Previous Poor Season Source: Bleacher Report
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Penguins beat writer Rob Rossi released the following article after the Pittsburgh Penguins received a disappointing boot from the Montreal Canadiens in the 2010 playoffs. Rossi ‘s note to GM Ray Shero to “field offers for [Evgeni] Malkin” brought forth many negative reactions, including a rebuttal from yours truly concerning Malkin’s invaluable worth to the team . Trading away one of the greatest talents in the league today would be both a foolish and brash decision, and the Penguins organization smartly disregarded Rossi ‘s opinion on one poor season from the young star … View post
