Imagine if we didn't sign Sheary and used that $3M on a center.

I feel like the first PP should be Jake - Crosby - Hornqvist Schultz/Letang - Malkin tbh.
I wonder what it would take to make Schultz our de facto #1 PPQB. Apparently regularly outperforming Letang there isn't reason enough.
Letang's problem is he's such a freak of nature that his 5v5 production is fine and good, but he's just a moron on the man advantage, or anything that requires a shred of thinking. But because he produces well, he's paid through the roof which means that the team is going to keep sticking him on the PP even though there's better options.
Or maybe Letang is legitimately dumber than a bag of hammers and they've been trying to convince him not to play on the power play for years and he just keeps hopping over the boards anyway.
Maybe we should stick a lead on him when he's on the bench.
He banged Sullivan's daughter.I'm obviously a little outta the loop, what happened to Sheary?
Bylsma and Johnston's daughters as well?He banged Sullivan's daughter.

I'm sure that's how they see it, but it's counter-intuitive. Letang's locked in for a long time...they can use him as they see fit. It's not like he's an impending UFA that they have to coddle in order to get him to re-sign.
Which I totally agree with and wish they would just take him off the damn first PP because we have a legit PPQB in Schultz. Letang is such a phenomenal talent and not awful on the PP overall, but he's not GOOD there. It's just perplexing.
He's had moments the last few seasons when he's been shooting more and getting more pucks on net thanks to the coaching staff, but good lord, does he look like he needs a month or two of work with Gonch right now.
