Could fit a $2 mill player yet, which is more important? Is Teddy Blu ready for when Geno and/or Cros gets hurt? Are there any RD in WBS ready to play some solid minutes when Letang misses a couple few games?

I would take either in a heartbeat. I feel like we have more certainty up top, but I really do not know which I would prefer.

3c 100%. But you have McCann, Rodrigue, Blueger, Lafferty, and Jankowski for centers. So I don’t see why you would need one.

Blu is the only one that has shown the ability to play it well. McCann has had his moments but I think that experiment is over.

Interesting... okay. Was not too sure, because I thought you had plenty of guys that were good at the center position.

They haven't had a good 3C since Bonino. They should have pushed for PA Pageau instead of Brassard.

3C for sure. There's POJ and Manisacalo isn't there

Pageau is good, but I don’t think that he was worth all those picks, and that money to be a 3c. That’s expensive. I would expect a 2c to get around that much money.

I agree but the thought of Rud's playing regular minutes over the course of a season...shudder

I meant when the Brassard trade went down. PA was on contract for an additional year and was actually a "traditional 3C". PIT was looking for a 25 goal scorer at the 3.
EDIT- Sorry, he was on contract for 2 more years.

Ah gotcha. Makes sense. Definitely is a good player.
