I got bored while waiting today so I thought about the best Penguins to play for the Penguins between post-lockout. I didnt count guys like Leclair, Recchi, Ziggy, and Lemieux given their ages and it was only for a year or two. So really I guess from 2008-2023. This is the list I came up with.

Jake-Crosby-Hossa
Kunitz-Malkin-Iginla
Dupuis-Staal-Kessel
Hagelin-Bonino-Neal

Gonchar-Letang
Oprik-Schultz
Martin-Lovejoy

MAF
Murray

Only area I wasnt sure was if someone was more deserving than Bonino and our lack of depth at RHD. I was obviously a bit bias towards Stanley Cup winners.

Probably the most underrated guy on that list would be Neal. He fell apart quickly and was scapegoated for a lot of the problems in those days, but that guy could shoot a puck. Most overrated would be tough, but I think you can make a really solid argument for MAF.

I mean Lemieux should at least be the 4c lol he had 22 points in 26 games at 40 years old. And Palffy left but was a point per game player.

They won a few they deserved to lose recently so they were due to get goalied or have bounces go against them.

Yeah that's usually how it goes over the course of a season. I also have Stammer, Point and Elliott. Regardless of how the B's look, Tampa are still the king of the east until another team represents the east in the finals.

Yeah they are on autopilot until the playoffs right now. They seem to be able to turn it on when they really need to.

If you disqualify Mario and Recchi for short term/few games, shouldn't that also rule out Hossa and Iginla? Both were only here for about 12 games
