Do they not have a shot as much as others contenders out there? Other than maybe Tampa, contenders are pretty much at the same level. Or close to.

Top tier is Tampa, Carolina, Vegas, Colorado. Don't know if the Pens can hang with those guys.

Since it's a 2022 pick, does that mean we could win the cup this year, Carter retires and it stays as a 3rd?

I guess that is a possibility. If it is indeed 50 games AND making the cup final.

I’m sure they’re happy to not have Boston in their division this year.

At best they have to win back to back coin flips and then likely upset someone just to get to the cup.

Money puck gives them the same odds of making the cup as Montreal.

They need to win a series before anyone should believe in them.

I’ll be very surprised if they don’t make it out of their division.

With their D and goalie history I would not be shocked to see them get beat by WPG or EDM.

well looking at the standings, all those teams are close

I think you guys could get out of your division and then who knows? I think the North division is weaker and that could be a third round match up

But you are in a good division to start with, yes

I just think there are a few legit teams to win it this year

Has Rittich been playing good this year? They got him last night.

Pens source saying they contacted Anaheim about Getzlaf, but the source is unsure if their interest in him changed once they acquired Carter.

Even with the current playoffs format

I know.

It’s odds based on legit statistical analysis.

I could see Toronto choking in the first round because this is Toronto, but mtl has been below average for a while

Their red hot start is the only reason why they are ahead of Calgary and Vancouver right now

Those 2 teams have horrible seasons

I have this feeling that it was Getzlaf and Delauries both coming and Getz didn't happen so they passed on just the scrub.

I think Tampa if Kucherov comes back at full strength are the far away favorites. Carolina on paper is super strong but I think they are beatable.

Colorado is the big wildcard for me. Is their goaltending good enough? When games get tight will their O still fly or will their young D get exposed?

Teams I worry about most are Washington, Boston and Montreal. I think Montreal is playing half ass right now but if they pull it together and Price is hot they could make a run.

Toronto has super high end talent but goaltending and D depth will burn them. Edmonton same story.
