Fire Shero

Team: 2019-20 New Jersey Devils

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 23, 2019

Published: Jun. 23, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

This is an unpopular opinion but Shero has just set the Devils back 3 years as contenders:

1.) Missed an opportunity to get assets for taking on Marleau's contract and buying him out
2.) Traded for the most polarizing player in the league to be a leader in a young locker room
3.) Traded a 2020 2nd so now limited offer sheet options, no Meiers/ Kapanen
4.) Decided to build around an aging, injury prone 28 year in Hall and an overpaid, 30, probable locker room cancer in Subban who also has back issues; instead of trading Hall and building a younger core.
5.) Every Dman outside of Greene is either a PP guy, undersized, or cannot play Defense Butcher/ Vatanen are all three
6.) Subban's contract is up in three years, Hischier/Hall/Bratt/ Zacha/Blackwood will have already got their raises, Hughes/ Smith entry contract will be up, Palmieri will need a new contract. So their might not be room to resign, plus Subban will want another big contract

So congrats Shero you ****ed over this team for 3 years of mediocrity and wasting Hughes's/ Smith's entry level contracts. Fire Shero.
