That this is still a discussion proves the wrong players are still here. Effort should never come up to a professional paid athlete. If you are paid to do a job, and if you cannot do it you are fired/let go. Stop giving out premature contracts and get players that want to play HOCKEY!!! Backcheck, forecheck, then paycheck!!! (From the instigators! LOL) The only reason we are still in any playoff hunt is that there is a ton of teams in the middle this year. But that herd will thin!!!!
