C'mon, we all know you have a Crosby jersey somewhere in the far back of your closet where no one can see it......

Brooks is going to be great for your team, he is exactly what you needed. I personally hope he absolutely levels a few Pens.

So logically, he can easily have a 20-40 point jump in a different system, right? I mean, you said it. But uh...he's never scored more than 81 points in a season, and that wasn't with Sutter.

Correct, Murray was the coach before him who instituted the defensive system.

Tough contract to give out but I always really like Orpik. I still think he's useful however that contract kind of sets him up for failure there.

When I first heard the signing announced, I honestly thought it would be like 16/4, at the most, but more like 6/2. The term is brutal.

Sutter? just a guess.

Ridiculous contract, but he can still play. He was having a pretty good season until Thorton assaulted him. I know that doesn't make you feel better, but he'll provide some necessary physicality and leadership for your team.....albeit at an extreme cost.

Sutter? just a guess.

No because I am praying to the lord he goes and destroys some other team.

Kopitar is a great player, probably top 10 in the NHL, but is no where near Crosby's level. That nothing to be ashamed of though, because no one is. Kopitar may be a better 2 way player, but that doesn't offset how far ahead Crosby is offensively.

Random thought of the day:

Does Kapenen satisfy the criteria we were looking for in drafting a non-vanilla forward? He was rated high but is there anything exciting about him? Is he Beau Bennett 2.0? Would we have been better off drafting Ho-Sang or Sherbak?

Pens resign Megna. 1 yr @ $875k

LOL Crosby scored 103 points in Therrien's system when he was still a kid. Not sure you're going to find a worse system than that unless you go back to Jagr vs Constantine......

Megnatron resigned. Watch this kid break out this year with an expanded roll.

I like Megnatron. I really only see 3rd line upside with him, though. He's a better version of Joe Vitale (more physical, mediocre hands) but isn't ever going to score a lot. His ceiling is Tyler Kennedy, IMO.

We talking good TK, or scape goat you're the reason we didn't win the cup TK?

Never said Kopitar was better offensively then Crosby. Crosby has sick hands and a skill set that is one of the best. Crosby with his skating ability and his low CG is amazing on his skates. Hell, maybe he is the best!

I guess more middle ground TK. Just talking 3rd line winger who is never quite good enough to reach the top 6. Speed, can bang a little, could score 15 goals in a season.

I was joking more than anything else with that last post. I actually agree with you, but I still like the guy and I can see him filling gaps here and there with injuries due to his speed and hands. He did quite well on Geno's wing last year before going down with injury. I still believe that if that injury hadn't of happened Gibbons would have never become a regular in the lineup and Megna would have a guaranteed roster spot coming into the season.

Huge difference between Megnatron and TK is size.
