You have presented an opinion that boils down to basically this: He hasn't played for a playoff team in his career, ergo he is a bad influence on young players. What a preposterous leap.

Didn't say he was a bad influence. You are putting words into my mouth. Please read more carefully. I said that's not the guy I want mentoring the kids because he isn't a winner. GMs, coaches, and players talk about championship experience all the time. It matters. You don't agree that's fine. Hudler has won a Cup before. If Hudler and Stajan are both talking about what it takes to win a Cup who do you listen to? Stajan? I don't think so. Stajan can barely talk about what the NHL playoffs are like and what to do to prepare for it.
