I thought we had all this forward depth that can move up and down the roster? Oh wait, we added Kessel.

Can't wait for the day this coaching staff gets the boot. Just wasting time at this point. I always wonder how a coach can watch hours of tape and not have certain things hit him in the face like a brick. Duper is really struggling. It's obvious he can't handle the minutes these days.

Quite possibly the best Malkin trade proposal ever. Even uses fancy stats to justify it.

Honestly, I dont see a different coach changing anything. Its an attitude/personality issue.

I disagree. This guy was the wrong hire from the get go. Scoring goals will change "attitudes" immensely.

Can't trade somebody that nobody wants.

For the record, I didn't hate the jump of Bryan Rust. Maybe he won't put a lot of pucks in the net but tell me how that's different than what we already have. At least he'll beat people to the puck.

I liked what porter brought to the 4th line... I would rather have sunds poliout porter Wilson rust Simon dea sheary in the lineup even with the flaws they are going to bring over guys like kuni dupes lovejoy scuderi and even cullen...

Let them learn and grow, so what if we come in last, we can get matthews

So what happens when this plan implodes... does MJ get fired? How do they actually think that reuniting these 3 will spark scoring and help balance all 4 lines (per MJ in trib article)

How does management let this happen? How do they let a rookie sit games? How do they let scuderi play top 4? Up is down, left is right, dogs sleeping with cats... anarchy anarchy

Remember RW gloating after the Kessel trade to us supporters of a major shake up (his gloating was mostly towards Oneonta Penguin), I remember at that exact point posting to RW and all his cool-aid drinkers that he should probably wait for the start of the season before the gloating as we obtained all this "forward depth" at the expense of having a competent compliment of defensemen. Well, it's been even worse, our defense, as expected can't move a puck up the ice to save their life, are not physical, have added zero offence and have been average defending in their own zone at best. What makes our suspect defense even worse is the fact the group of forwards we sold out on defense hasn't panned out as expected. Malkins been good, Kessel decent- the rest have been average or worse- Nick Bonino, very underwhelming... Beau Bennett, same song and dance, Kunitz and Dupuis- been beaten to death on here, but as we all know- on the decline big time.. Is it the coaching? Possibly... But I really feel this team has much bigger deep rooted issues and it's time for a major re-tool... (I've said it for 2 season now), but time to deal some of the core.. This team needs a juggle, it needs an identity.. We've had 3 differnt supporting casts the last 3 years all with the same result.. Time to deal a Malkin (yes, he has been our best player this season, but he would bring back a mint), or a Letang, or even a Crosby. I understand only 1 team wins the cup each year, but this team is awful.. No fun to watch, zero heart, zero ID, zero character. I've been a die hard Pens fan for 25 years, and this is my low point. I enjoy the Richard Tarnstrom/ Ramzi Abid teams more than this one.

I know ... the idea of putting a crappy player like Bennett with Crosby is embarrassing.

Can't wait too. However, there is simply nothing out there that is any good. They are there for a reason.

That's pretty much it. Kunitz has something like 3 goals in his last 56 games. Yikes.
