That's not true, Steppan, Hayes, and Zbinajad all can play 1C. They may not be superstars but they are hardly terrible, and I hate the Rangers.

I agree on Stepan who I think it very underrated, Zbinajad is a nice young player but has a long way to go to be a 1C, if Hayes is your 1C you're in a lot of trouble and would have better odds at the #1 pick than you would making the playoffs, he's at best an average 3C with room to grow but Hayes being anywhere near the top 6 is a sign of major troubles.

Looks like there is still hope for my boy despite what some of you think of him he has natural talent flowing out of every pore. http://triblive.com/mobil...nguins-pouliot-rutherford
My expectations going into this season for this whole team are sky high. Signing Pirri would be the next levell.

Hopefully pouliot shows up in a big way this year. He might be needed if Daley and Schultz are gone next year. I'm rooting for the kid

Daley for the same price for 2 years is a no brainer. He showed to be a true Penguin and great performer. Hopefully Poliot can out play Cole or Schultz...and I love Schultz's game!

Their dysfunction is a big problem to me. It's gross.

New Orleans is a little like Venice. Ya it smells but it's unique. You can't get the creole Cajun style food anywhere else. Spend a night getting blacked out on bourbon street which again is a unique drinking environment you can't create elsewhere. It's just a unique culture that is a good to visit but not a place to build a life.

Saw a BBC report here in Australia about cities racial profiling & Chicago was one of the top cities in the U.S. to do that. Estate agents would only show black people certain areas & white people other areas. They would keep the 2 well apart, & if a black person wanted to see a property in a 'white zone' then it would be very difficult to do.

Now that's just a TV doco & I've never been so I can't take that as gospel. But Daleys issues in Chicago???? First thing I thought of.

They used the highways to divide people that is true. It's a sort of wall. But the real estate agent thing is from a long time ago. I live in one of the best neighborhoods 3rd largest property owner in my building. The biggest is a black family. But theirs a big difference between proper black and the animals who live south of the highway killing themselves and technically making Chicago the murder capital of the country. Proper Chicago is one of the safest places in the US.

Saw Pirri play when he was at RPI. Have always been intrigued by him. He has some skills that would look dynamite here in Pittsburgh. I'm still not sure how we have $$$ left to spend. I have seen where we are 3.9 over the cap, but that includes Dupes $$$ that will go on LTIR. Still, don't see how, but the Pens must know what they have to spend. If they can sign him for 800k, I'm all for it.
