I really consider this a year a transition year for the Preds. By the end of this season they should be clearing house of the Old Unproductive Staff starting from the Coaches down. But one player in particular need to have the reins removed and acutally see what he is capable of.  The first selection of the Preds in 1998 really needs to turn it on and see if he can be part of the future of this team or does he have to go out with the wash at the end of this season.  Maybe Legwand is capable of producing more in a more aggressive offensive system maybe he can help a contender bring home a cup, but until we change coaches, it is what it is, here in Smashville. His $4,500,000 cap hit is a great burden on this team.  And even if he scores 20 we are looking at $250,000 a goal. Going forward he's just not worth it.  Its really up to the F.O. to see what he has left. I know he has a No Trade Clause, but there are ways around that, no player wants to ride the pine. So I say turn hm loose on the ice or turn him loose and let him move on.  It might be best for all involved.
