It sucks, but with his contract structure, at this point I would just count it as a sunk cost and move on. No sense in buying him out as we won't save anything. If someone wants to take him off our hands, fine, but he still showed to be an NHLer here and there last year, so we just keep him and hope he either gets a little quicker, or develops Hossa-itis.
As you say - Tippett has gotten more from less, so, yet again because I'm stupid and I never learn, I will be optimistic that he can be a super expensive but OK 3rd liner.

Alex Steen is a fourth liner in St Louis this year (again - worth noting that none of the teams that went deep this year rely on a 4th line to simply check and hit). I think that maybe the approach with Lucic has to be similar (even though he's not as good as Steen). Play him way down the roster, and hope that he can at least match up okay against other team's fourth lines. There's just no point giving him a push and hoping when he's shown nothing to deserve that.
Tippett...well, I'll reserve judgement. I'm cautiously optimistic at best.
|
That's what I was trying to say but failed apparently. I don't want him given a push, and I don't want to buy him out, and I don't want to retain anything. He';s here, we're stuck with him, he's not very good, and he's hella expensive.
I would hope for more of his better games from last year, as a 3rd/4th liner. I don't want to see him getting PP1 time. MAYBE 1 down with the goalie pulled for a big body in front of the net, but he should be nowhere near the top in TOI for PP.
