Description
The Pens were fairly close to beating Washington with basically no depth scoring. Beef up the depth and move on. Stop panicking!! And stop trading Letang! There are few in the league that does what he can do. Trading him would leave a massive hole in the lineup.

AND why would the Pens give up on Brassard already? He's played 26 games in a Black n Gold jersey and playing injured too! Let the guy fully learn the system and get some wingers to play with him.

4 Scoring Lines is achievable! Don't panic and trade half the team away bc we only had 2 scoring lines in the 2nd round.

THANK YOU!!!!! People are criticizing this team because they couldnt win 3 straight cups. I have seen so many proposals with the pens trading Brassard. Why tf would the pens trade a great 3c making $3million? Give the guy some time to get healthy and adjust. And Letang has been great his entire career, he earned the right to have a free pass last year. If he even comes close to being "Old Letang" then all the "fans" will praise him.

the old letang is a offensively gifted liability on defense whose athletic ability and skating has covered up those mistakes in the past. injuries and age have made these mistakes way more visible. i am sorry when it comes down to it this is a business and letang hurts the pens business.

Brassard i completely agree with you though. he was also injured last year in the playoffs. the only reason to consider moving him is the highly unlikely we can resign him

Im just saying it really isn't smart to trade Letang. He's a great teammate and a veteran, which they need since Kunitz and MAF left. Not smart to sell him when his value is at his lowest. Everyone seems to forget he was a hero in the cup finals against the Sharks, now people are coming at his neck and want him gone

I like the Folin, Christian signing.
There are some decent options for a 3rd line guy. Sustr, Moore, and the dude from dallas are all decent options too.
If only they could find a decent LW with size to come in at a reasonable contract. Please no one say Lucic we don't want him
Still miffed they didn't sign Daniel Brickley. He would have been nice and given us some more options.
Course I think they can still sign Sebastian Vidmar. That might work out well.
