Anybody find it interesting

that Sheppard hasn't signed. Wonder if Gorton told his agent, we are going to get rid of Glass. Wait, we'll sign you on a one year deal. With all the other crap that has been signed by other teams, I can't believe this guy wouldn't have been signed yet. Bernier I can see wanting too much money. Not Sheppard.

You give me Sheppard at Glass' contract, or somewhere between 1.3 and 1.5, and I would love it. MUCH rather have Sheppard than Glass.

Every now and then I stop and think what the F were Sather and AV thinking when they gave Glass 1.45 mill per over 3 years. With the cap being so low and so tight, that is a terrible contract that hurts our ability to finish off the 4th line correctly.

If I'm Shepp I want nothing to do with this organization and I dont blame him.

What did I miss...why?

He was healthy scratched for the playoffs in favor of Tanner Glass and he never would have seen the ice if Zucc didnt go down. I very much doubt he would want to play here again whether Glass is around or not after he was a top 9 player in San Jose.

You could argue that Prod. However, this is still a team that can win a cup. NY is a first class organization. They treat their players like that. There is a lot of reasons for him to stay if they dump Glass.

 

[chuckd3534]

I guess one can look at it that way. I think you are right, but he did play a bunch of playoff games after Zucc went down. Overall I agree though. Doesn't really matter anyway because with Glass here no shot we even want to resign him. To me that stinks because I happen to think a 4th line of Fast/Moore/Lindberg/Sheppard would be a great mix.

Dont get me wrong I'd love for him to be back. He scored a game winner in the Tampa series and adds some much needed size without being a black hole on O. Faceoff help too. Just hard to see him wanting to play for AV after that.
