In Dean I trust, but why the hell did we just help the Hawks unload a bad salary? Dean's smarter than to help #1 rival--Chicago has to be paying part of Scuderi next year or Scuds will join Vinny in retirement heaven (though I doubt it).

Hopefully the Sutter System resurrects Scuderi's career....

From what I have heard it's more to shore up the bottom D pairing because McBain McNabb aren't cutting it. Those guys weren't playing above 10 minutes a game putting more pressure on Doughty. I don't hate or love the move but we shall see.

He looks like he hasn't missed a beat, it was just a bad fit for him in Chicago. They are more of a puck moving team and he isn't exactly the most fleet of foot - never has been - but he will fit the LA game. I was in Carpinteria over the weekend for a funeral and family time and got to watch a little bit of the game Saturday night, read he received a video tribute and got a standing ovation.
I think he fills the 5th-7th role fine now at this stage of his career, not to mention Chicago is retaining 50% of his salary (they were already retaining 33% from the trade earlier with Pittsburgh) and the Kings are retaining 15% of Ehrhoff's deal. The cap hit for Scuderi in LA will be $1.125 million and $225,000 for Ehrhoff in LA over a full season.
I was hoping Ehrhoff would have been a good fit here but it was a low risk high reward move that Dumbo can't be blamed for. Just seems like a better fit for both guys in their new places.

Interesting records surrounding the worthless Scuds:
Hawks 6-9 since benching & trading him
Kings 8-2-1 since acquiring him
If only he could get some Karlsson type of point production he could make an impact outside of being the Dman everyone goes after

looks like the Hawks where 17-5 leading up to moving him and the Kings where 5-3-2

That dude's article just cracked me up. You have to think a lot of effort went into the still shots, the analysis, etc. For what, a bottom pair defender?
Unless you've been living under a rock we all knew he is not the Scuderi of 2009-2013. Just isn't, age has caught up to him but he is extremely intelligent and positional, not to mention his stick work is solid. Everything I just mentioned has nothing to do with his skating and everything to do with experience.
Sounds like the writer missed the note that he isn't the same player from 4 years ago.
