Acquiring all three older players (Iginla, Morrow, Murray) turned out to be a huge mistake for the Pens, as they really slowed the team down. It also forced them to keep guys like Kennedy and Bennett out of the lineup when they might have done more in limited roles than the other two wingers. They should have kept it to either Morrow or Iginla, but not both.
I actually can't believe they took Kennedy out of the lineup when he's a pretty effective third liner.
Some of the blame should go to Sherro for making these moves, and not just Bylsma and the coaches.
