Description

I don't like to make predictions midway through the season but I think the Pens are winning the cup this year. There's just not a major weakness on the team, and they are the perfect puck-possession team. They have good neutral zone structure, relentless forecheck and speed to compliment the elite talents on the team.

I wish TOR played with the same courage as this team, they just don't have the desire or mentality.

Tbh, I could've kept Zucker but I do wonder if a change of scenery will be good for him. He is on paper a great fit for the team, he just can't catch a break.
