Best overall team since 2022 imo, lots to like. I have a bevy of questions that have yet to play out, but someone brought up "what about trading Novak, Braz, or Mantha since their value will be decently high" (I don't think they should, say for Novak for a 1st lol). There's also the question of Hallander who I thought was a super strong, two-way forward; will he push for a roster spot again or be forced down? Obviously, how will Rutger, Ville, Broz, Blom, & Murashov pan out, also Brunicke come April, and is this the top 6 defense we really want? And will Dubas hold serve with his cap + the question of the looming ~$50million they'll have next season. At the halfway point, I'm so excited for the rest of this season, no matter what, it's at least been fun!! LGP
😶
So much fun to watch, all 4 lines contribute, smash the Flyers, keep it rolling! Let’s GO PENS!!
DK – When do we sign Dewey? Replacing Accari and keeping 2/3 of the 4th line together needs to be an important point right now with how much theyre producing and contributing off the score sheet. These guys go out there and grab the momentum for us shift after shift
As always a great Daily Shot DK. IMO, I really feel at this point, Muse needs to make Skinner our 1A. Just a thought.
i’m trying to recall what player he was speaking of in the j1q 🤔
Dubas has done a better job fixing the mess he was left than anyone could have reasonably expected.
I remember when I was younger FSN Pittsburgh had the “Subway Sandwich of the Game” and they still do an iteration of that today (with a much less cooler name) and I remember for the past 8-9 seasons those “hits” were pathetic compared to what they used to be lol
DK – Should the Pens extend Skinner? Hear me out. The pens WILL have to spend to reach the floor next year. If Skinner can be a .900+ goalie come the season's end, does it make sense re-sing him for two years? This would allow Murashov to back up and get NHL experience while also meeting the cap needs.
Fun fact: There have been 2 player-owners in NHL history. Mario Lemieux played for the Penguins in the early 2000's while he owned the team. And Sidney Crosby owns the Flyers.
4th line has been really good, the D has been solid (instead of Sullivan-confused), Sid has transitioned to goal scorer, the PP is still fire… when they get good goaltending they're a tough out.
