▐▐▐ ▬ My Pens Moves Explained ▬ ▐▐▐

1} - MUST get a Young 3C = Lundestrom is a Perfect "Buy Low" after sophomore slump yr (last yr)
- has the 2-way game to keep Sully happy & has The Skill to play Top 6 Center if 87 or 71 are out for a cpl gms.
- If 34yr old Eller is the 3C, we just are NOT a Playoff team

2} - MUST get a Young Top 6 Winger for 87 or 71 = Wahlstrom another "Buy Low" after injury player
- He is probably more of a middle 6 winger but could be the exact type of young legs Sid could use at this point of career
- Rusty is still a good player but more of a 3rd liner now, he just cant be in Top 6

3} - Petry - yah he did NOT fit in Pens D-system here but he is still good Top 4 RHD & IMO still has value
- Dellandrea - another Young Forward this old /slow team desperately needs, have been trading for him for last 4yrs, Love him
- Hakanpaa - a D-man w/ size & plays physical on Pens?? IMO, hes a cheaper & more physical Rutta.

4} - EK65 - I absolutely LOVE EK65 but This is a Huge Risk & why this is the very most i could pay.
- EK65 - is a 33yr old Injury Prone player w/ a Horrible Contract, Has a NMC, & Both Team & player want a Trade??? Why Pay a Ton??
- Kahkonen - Only 26yr old Goalie coming off a rough yr, would def give him a Chance & also have Ned.

5} - Sign LHD- Caleb Jones to battle or share time w/ Ty Smith as #3LHD
- Keep Ty Smith as #3-#4 LHD & if Injury to either Injury Prone #1/ #2 RHD Letang or EK65, Ty Smith can play Top 4 on Right side too.

6} - Love all the Depth in AHL for this team, just LOVE it
