Penguins prospect base is rated higher or in the same ballpark as the Flames currently. Is this some sort of personal dislike you have for Shero? When you consider how late the Penguins have drafted and some picks given up in trades the Penguins have a very solid group of defensemen stockpiled with Maatta, Pouliot, Harrington and Bennett looks like he will be a solid pro. In the same period have the Hawks or Kings drafted any better?
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be fired because the goaltending situation and not being able to make the right trades to bolster the team but I actually think they drafted pretty well for the most part.
