Agreed. Although I do like what Ryan brings to the team for the most part, Stajan as well. With the only caveat is the hope Simon and/Leivo expecting to make a contribution to the top 6. I get Simon played with Crosby occasionally, so I get the reasoning. As well as the potential in Leivo, whom had an injury and also the PK attributes of Nordstrom.
I get hindsight is 2020, however if one continues to make inferior decisions and moves, no matter if it was initially heralded to be a decent one, they should pay the price. In this case, he should bear the brunt of all of his combined failures. Coaching. Free agent work. Trades. Etc etc.
