I'm not sure how many people, if any, follow the Pens' prospects closely.

Does anyone think either Addison and/or Joseph actually have a chance of surprising in camp to the point they get their ten game "cup of coffee?" (I really hate that term)

I can't imagine any forwards impressing THAT much considering Bjorkqvist and Hallander won't be attending.

I could see Legaré or Poulin getting a couple games in the big league but it's highly unlikely since the team is crowded at forward right now

WSCTeton what's the distance from East Valley to West Valley? Having an attendance of 14,300 per game is not bad considering the poor location of the arena. Crazy how they simply decide to build a new arena. So much money is spent to build it

I go to PHX frequently for work. THe money is in Scottsdale and Tempe. That's where the rink should be. Isnt the new owner moving them out anyway?

That division kinda sucks but I don't Phil hits 25g again.

Your gm is too incompetent to even allow for it to happen. No cap space and nobody is waiver exempt.

Both are projects. Legare has the better shot early because of his scoring ability, but neither are NHL skaters at this point and we are too crowded at forward.

Addison is the only one I think that could make an impression, but the right side is set barring a trade or injury, so I don't see any prospect making the team this season.

True, but the dream scenario is one of those playing so well it forces him to make a move to free up the spot. Wishful thinking, I know.

I’m actually not sure he will step up to that roll and I’m as big a Phil fan as they come. He doesn’t want the spotlight that comes with leading and he’s notorious for doing his own thing. I’m not saying he’s a cancer, because by all beat accounts he seems to be popular with his teammates despite being unpopular with the coaching staffs/FOs, but I don’t think he’s cut out for being a major voice in the locker room.

I can't really argue with you here, but Phil IMHO becomes their largest personality by far. I mean, who else do they have?... Grabner, Schmaltz, OEL? Maybe with RT's help, he becomes his own kind of leader, and in his own special Phil Kessel way, takes the pressure off the shoulders of teammates who aren't leaders either. Can't claim to be a Coyotes fan by any measure, but I'll be following them a bit closer this season, and rootin' for Phil.

I’m a huge fan of Phil and not happy the Pens shipped him out.

That being said, are we seriously going to be doing “Phil watch” all season?

Does anyone actually regularly read RW blogs? I just come here for the comments.

Depends. I might read the first paragraph to see if it’s worth reading. Most of the time it’s just regurgitated poop from a week ago.

I think I’ve read maybe 1 out of the last 50.

I think the Panthers would do better in attendance if their arena was actually in Miami. Ft Lauderdale sucks. I’ve driven there from Tampa for a few Pens games and the only thing good about it is the 3 Primanti brothers there. Other than that there’s no (frank)in reason to go there lol


primanti brothers is overrated garbage

Same attitude with the band the clarks.....awful music but ppl like them cuz their local.

Hahaha nah. It’s good if you are aware of what you’re getting. I like everything there. Mancinnis bread by itself is awesome. Fresh cut fries are my favorite. The sweet and sour slaw is good. And hot capicolla is my favorite deli meat. Add in some bacon.. in what world is that bad?

I’ll never understand people who hate on Primantis. They have like 20 different meats to put on a sandwich with the best kind of fries and some damn good Italian bread. I can understand why people don’t like the slaw, as it’s a a bit more vinegar than a traditional slaw. It’s the same reason I go to 5 guys. Best fries for a burger joint.

If you go to Primantis thinking you’re going to get a gourmet meal than that’s on you for being dumb, but if you go knowing you’re going to get a cheap ass sandwich loaded with a bunch of food... I don’t see what’s wrong with it.

Wait. Liking 5 guys was a cool thing at a point in time? I thought it was just for people that liked burgers and fries?

5 guys is by far the best chain burger and fries joint I’ve ever had. Their fries are so (frank)ing good. (Although I haven’t had anything in the west coast yet. Plan on making a trip out there sometime though.)

It used to be the “it” place that people would claim had the best fast food burgers when I was in middle/high school, but at some point in college it switched to in-n-out. I do not get the hype over in-n-out. Animal style is so mediocre.

Meh they’re both good. 5 guys is better. If you go to a restaurant based on the it crowds perception you’re doing it wrong.
