Description

I think the Penguins look pretty good going into next season. They have a solid top 6 forward group, solid defence and an excellent fourth line. The main area of need is a 3rd line center, which if they bury a few guys like Sceviour or Ceci in the AHL, they can afford to sign Haula for 3.5 million.

3rd line RW may be vacant as well. I know before, a lot of people were expecting Poulin to make the team. However, SidStick87 believes that is no longer a possibility since he wasn't even able to win a roster spot on the Team Canada WJC roster.

I decided to sign Sheary at 950K AAV for that role. I know a lot of people don't like him, but he's one of my favourites. I feel putting him with Haula and McCann would work well since all 3 guys are really quick and generate possession well. The puck will always be in the offensive zone when they're on the ice.
