Wouldn't be mad to see Sheary @ less than $1M. Far from the ideal signing but would be a great deal.

Id be furious. Pens have plenty of depth, need a difference maker.

I agree. As I said earlier, the only prospect they really blocked was POJ. Ironically, he's who I felt was most likely to make it.

(Yes, I'm discounting Matheson at RD until I see it. Too many times I've heard guys can play multiple positions but they really can't.)

I'm with you on that

I agree. Even though they were called the 4th line, the Blueger line functioned as the 3rd all year. I don't believe we had 3 scoring lines rolling at any point.

So I believe we'll still be a playoff team without fixing that 3rd line. But they'll need it to go deep, so they need to fix it by the playoffs. What we open with will be fine with the upgrades at defense and top 6 forward (barely had Zucker and added Kapanen). Concerns for me are Jarry and the Blueger line repeating.

Yeah I would even if about by keeping kap on 3rd line. And based on JR’s comments about new MM being eventually a 2nd pairing guy I wonder if they try to shop petts (if MM lives upto JR’s expectations) and gets moved for whatever weakness pitt has mid season.

Prob eventually get rid of a couple depth bodies for space at some point too I’d imagine whether it’s trade or sent down.
