The premise of the discussion was that if there was an injury, you call up Lauridsen to replace the injured player, and leave Gervais as the 7th, and in the press box.

Gotcha, were talking the flyers here. 2 weeks in at least half the D core will be down with significant injury

Wow. That is a big number for Malkin. They've always been top-heavy, but wow.

Just checked capgeek; the pens have only got 6 players signed for 2014-15 for a total of $34m. And only 1 D.

Why would the team use up a slot on the reserve list just to upgrade the 7th defenseman spot from Gervais to Huskins?

I don't even think it's an upgrade.

- bradleyc4

And waste a 7th rounder in the process, as terms of acquiring Huskins.

So he can get a face transplant?

Good news: He's getting a face transplant.

Bad news: He will look exactly like Tyler Kennedy.

WOW. I certainly realize there are ways around that and there are many ways to skin a cat, but WOW. That...is going to require some work.

If that's correct, someone's gotta be going. Crosby is at 8.7, Malkin 9.5 and they wanna sign "you me and Dupuis".

Yep.. I think that's why they also went all in this year with Morrow Murray and Iggy.. Still can't believe they got boot (frank)ed like that in the ECF.

Dupuis, or not Dupuis? That is the question.

I won't lie and pretend I know all of their prospects, but you have to wonder, at some point, if having two guys making that much....I just wonder how long you can continue to win.

Again, Crosby and Malkin are generational players, so I'm not saying that I know what I'd do -- I don't know if I would trade a 26-year-old Malkin who won the MVP last year. So I don't know that I'm saying the Pens shouldn't have signed him.

But $9.5 and $8.7 for two guys...maybe they're counting on the cap going up? Because, again...those are HUGE numbers for just two guys.

Any team that gives up major assets to the Pens this season for 1 year of Letang when he's going to hit the market next year and it's well known Pitt can't afford him...well, they're suckers.

Fleury still gives them 40 wins a season. (I'm not a fan, though)

Well, if you're Rusty Fedotenko, maybe this represents your opportunity to get Top 6 minutes, because the Rusty Fedotenko's of the world is what the Pens will be dabbling in in the near future, with respect to forward help to supplement their top heavy lineup.

I just think he's had two seasons of meltdowns in the playoffs. The series last year vs us was some of the worst goaltending I have seen.
