Wouldn't surprise me if he reaches another gear this season. The Pens had games last year where he was the primary reason they won. Not sure what Dubas is waiting for, but he should already have a contract. - madmike71
Agree, DOC would be a smart player to try and lock up early. If he spends the bulk of the year in the top 6, there's a good chance he puts up numbers that lead to a contract we may not want to pay. |

Nice thing about the Pens having the cap flexibility for 23 for once is that they could keep Brunicke for a tryout and still have their top 13 forwards and 7 defensemen. |

Where does HB play though if everybody is healthy? The right side has EK, Letang, and St.I. Do they sit one of them? Seems unlikely, unless they let Grinder run the D for a few games. |

When was the last time we gave a prospect the 9 games? Sprong?
Those 9 games will be worth more development wise than an entire season of Junior.
Give him the 9, if he struggles send him back with the goal of joining Team Canada at the WJC. |

It's a good question. He was pretty dominant with Petts but I'm pretty sure all of our D's numbers go up with 28.
Right now St. I would be most likely but putting Brunicke with Graves is a good way to tank his confidence.

I agree with RW (and many of us continue to propose) I think having Malkin and Crosby together would be awesome! I wish Hayes was in his prime.
Malkin -Crosby - Rust
Bunting - Hayes - Rakell
DOC - Eller - Glass/Puljujarvi
Beau - Lizotte - Acciari
Having lines like this would be awesome (again if Hayes was a solid 2nd line center option). |

Lizotte and Ned out. Very penguiny of them. Looks like we will get to see Blom in the big leagues earlier than anticipated.
In terms of Brunicke, perhaps EK needs 7-9 games to start the year to make sure he is healthy? |

He's a good mid 6 player who can competently play on the top line. I don't know if the Dupuis comparison fits, but he does a lot of the same things. Has speed, gets to pucks and has good enough hands where he'll score 15-20 goals. Should have been signed already.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Dubas can swing Jarry+Graves for Swayman. Highly unlikely. |

I was really hoping someone would have called Waddell and offered graves for anything to get cbus to the cap floor. |
