The Pens have a really great opportunity this year to bolster the lineup. They are financially sound with the cap going up and can build a solid bottom six group.
Dump Hunwick and it becomes even easier.
If Anthanasiou puts up a stink in DET again, I'd like to see a Sheary-based trade.
Jake-Sid-Horn
Rust-Geno-Kessel
AA-Brass-Sprong
Notable UFAs who I think wouldn the Pens around $1.5/$2M that would be a nice upgrade to the 4th line:
Komarov
Roussel
Pajaarvi
Wingels
I know some people have this major aversion to spending $2 to $3M on a fourth liner, but IMO if the Pens have everything they need tied up and the space is there, you do it.
Moving Hunwick makes space for this especially with the cap going up as significantly as it is. |
