Yes, very good.
Contrast Shero with Paul Holmgren who makes video game deals, sometimes they work out brilliantly. Sometimes they fail miserably.
So true
As for his deals he must do a great job selling the Penguin prospects in all of these deals. Going back to the Hossa deal i remember a lot of folks upset that they lost a lot of depth but look at that depth now.
Hossa/Dupuis still in the NHL
vs
Armstrong in the NHL Christensen KHL/Esposito - Italy/the pick is in the AHL - (ironically enough was in Wheeling for most of the season).
The Staal deal I think what helped was the fact going in Carolina knew he would sign long-term with them.
