Again, good problems to have, but I agree with you. I was standoffish to it before, but I think McCann should play 4C and sit Blueger.

Quit using the word “standoffish” incorrectly. It’s the character attribute or mood of a human. Not a disposition towards an idea.

Dude was one of the best personalities in football.

I’ve only ever seen him on “The League”

Apparently he’s a super nice guy. He legit might weigh 100 lbs more than me

Having to sit someone because everyone is healthy I always a good thing. Besides showing depth by playing your best, it keeps those likely to sit working hard so that they aren’t the one eating press box nachos. And, eventually someone will get injured. Nice to know that should the Pens need help, there are so good kids in WBS that showed they are ready. Going to watch the Malkin line most closely these next few games. We need production from them if the Pens are going to compete for a playoff spot.

Klefbom possibly... Holland was asked about there future D in the next couple seasons and only mentioned Nurse, Larsson, Broberg, Bouchard, Bear, Jones which was interesting to me being Klefbom is only 26 signed for 3 more years after this.....

I am a big fan of his, so I would be ok with that.

I think they'll sit Kahun unfortunately. Hate to take out a guy that is finally coming around. I'd probably sit ZAR or Bluegs.

I think special teams is a factor. Sullivan (like most coaches) probably wants to keep his PK pairs together and ZAR is part of that

I’d rotate who sits but based on who played worst, even if they’re all killing it. You’re a minus 1 tonight bud, you’re on the bench next lol. Give everyone a chance to freshen up like Tampa... at least in the bottom 6 and Bjugstad, hornquist. Keep em all hungry or fear the press box.

I think our worst F since returning has been Bjugstad. Kahun, Rust and Mccan were good together. I think I would also sit blueger and put mccan at 4C right now.

Anyways, its a great problem to have. Figure it out who plays better with who while seeing if Galch can really light it up with Malkin. If not trade him and try to sign a good top 4 D.

If Galchenyuk doesn’t have chemistry with Geno I’d still try him with Sid. Just because Simon is producing X, Y, Z it doesn’t mean Galchenyuk (or someone else) couldn’t put up X+2, Y+3, and Z+4 in a number of categories. I also don’t see any reason why Simon wouldn’t still do the things he does effectively with Geno (as we saw him do in a depth role previously)

PG has an article with quotes from Sully saying he likes the job the Blueger line is doing and how he can use them for defensive starts.

I still think Blueger as been the weak link and would put Bjugstad there because he excelled in that role last year, but if that's Sully's mindset Blueger and ZAR are both safe for now.

Looks like Bjorkvist's season is over. Knee surgery out 6 months.

Good info and I agree on Blueger. I think he could use a wake up call. He was so smart with the puck last year - it’s not that he’s making bad decisions with it but he seems hesitant without the puck and it’s almost like a grenade when he gets it especially in the O zone

Having said that, I’ve barely seen these last two games

Wait, is that the same injury he was rehabbing before or a new one?

Sucks. Björkvist will be a good bottom 6 forward in the near future.

Gudbranson played 2nd most of any Duck D tonight in the win over Vancouver in case is wondering what he’s been up to. I didn’t watch but the highlights show a fun game decided by the goalies

He's been playing a ton and seems to be playing pretty well, too. Good for him. Good trade for both sides.
