I don't want to upset CV, so ill make this quick: yes, this is what I'm getting at. Is really don't see what the Pens would be losing in terms of on-ice ability if Adams and Kennedy were not on the roster. Tangradi? Boychuk? Jeffrey? Someone in the A? I don't know what any of them would do with a legitimate bottom-6 role, but I know what Kennedy is doing with his. If nothing else, make them fight for their jobs.
If the excuse for not having time to develop prospects is, "we are in win now" mode, then they shouldn't have time for under performing, low ceiling vets
