I like this roster. The Penguins are challenged to improve the defensemen on the roster and phase in forwards who have been in the system and will participate in long-term plans. As the salary cap has increased for the 2018-2019 season, the Penguins should be able to move members in trades and address needs in free agency.
I would like the Penguins to consider re-acquiring Ryan Reaves as a free agent. The Penguins were pushed around after Reaves was traded to Vegas. A player who can play hockey and exterminate goons would be an asset.
The Penguins will need to address the defensemen on the roster. Letang needs to improve his defensive play (i.e. turnovers, giveaways, camping out in the zone), or he needs to go. Hunwick was not used much and was a bad signing for not doing much.
