This take is absolutely brutal. While I’d rather close the book on the Myers chapter, having the guy on a third pairing (paying him third pair money) would be beneficial to most teams.
Not disagreeing, but I wonder if sometimes it's less of an 'integrity' issue and more of a 'mentality' issue... we're not that far removed from playing through anything and everything being considered a sign of toughness.
I could see it going either way. My biggest problem with this team is that we're too dependent on other teams doing poorly to make it in... that's not a recipe for success.
They'd have to overpay by a mile to get me to even listen. Hischier, Nemec, Casey and Holtz would be a start.
edit...scratch Casey add a first and Marino.
Yeah, I was actually thinking it would be ‘something’ in a positive light. Despite being over paid for what he is, Myers on the bottom pairing would likely be a pretty big headache for opposing teams. Especially partnered with Soucey.
While it wouldn't be surprising to see another move or two, as the team stands right now where do you think we will finish this year in the Western Conference Standings?
