If they had drafted any other position you'd be whining about how odds are very unlikely that they'd have an impact on the team before Sid and Geno retired. You were going to be negative and cry regardless of the outcome.

Did not disappoint.

Honestly, I was shocked they went G back to back, but glass half full here, at least they restocked their cupboard, which was pretty bare after trading Gustavsson.

Will it matter in the long run? Hard to say. Maybe we get lucky and one of these guys will be ready to be the franchise tender when the Pens are back to contending after the inevitable rebuild.

A lot of writers are comparing Gruden to a younger Hornqvist type. Someone who works hard, does most of his damage around the net. Will dish out checks, forechecks well. His hard work seems to allow him to out perform his critics

So essentially the type of player you bring into the system so that you don't have to acquire and pay the Colton Sceviours of the world above vet minimum against the cap?

A good goalie can cover up a lot of weaknesses and can carry a really bad team. We're about four years away from being a really bad team. Taking a flier on a couple isn't the worst strategy in the world.

Kyle Turris bought out by the Preds! One year incentive based deal to play 3rd line center?

At least its a bit of a reasonable female dog for us to take 2 goalies after just trading away one...

From the little I've gathered, he's around guys like Bjorkvist and Caulfield. Has a chance to be a bottom six and worth keeping an eye on, but no sure thing or needle mover. But hey, it's something more than I was expecting and possibly a top 10 prospect here.

There's nothing wrong with Sam Lafferties in the system. What I was getting at in my sarcastic comment is that its good to have these guys so that you can have them around for call up/4th line duty without having a vet of the same caliber take up over $1 mil to play that role.

Lol literally no one made comments like this. We just thought that he was better than Sheary and cost controlled at that. I still don't think that's wrong. He's just a malcontent apparently.
