Part 1 2020-2021 of my 2yr Pens plan - Please for the Love of God

Created by: Sidstick87

Team: 2020-21 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 13, 2020

Published: Dec. 16, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

___________________________________________________

This is Part 1 [2020-2021] of my 2 year Penguin's Plan

IMO, This would be a near Perfect Roster for the PENS to have a "REAL / LEGIT" chance at a CUP run w/ the {87 / 71 / 58 CORE} for the next [2] Seasons. (Instead of the fringe playoff team Roster we have now)

FORWARDS :
- Line 1A ------ 59 ~ 87 ~ 42 ------ Everyone knows that Sid & Jake will be together & I am in the minority but I loved the Kappy Trade & think this line could be Scary good.
- Line 1B ------ 67 ~ 71 ~ 64 ------ A 2nd line that would be a 1st line for about 30 other NHL teams would work for me w/ 2 of my fav wingers w/ Geno in Granlund & Rakell
- Line 3A ------ 19 ~ 88 ~ 17 ------ 2- Top 6 Wingers in McCann & Rusty w/ a young 3C in Gaudette, as a 3rd line Yes Please.
- Line 3B ------ 29 ~ 53 ~ 13 ------ Blueger & Turbo are Perfect 4th liners, PLUS the addition of a non-stop skating & hitting [29-Carrier] would make a better 4th line.
** {All 3 of the Top lines OR Top 9 Wingers could be mixed OR changed in a number of ways} **

- H/S Forwards ------ 14 -Janko & 37-Laffy would be ideal back-ups being able to both play C & both Wings
- 1st Call Ups -------- 21-Poulin / 57- Angello / __- Gaudreau / __- Ritchie / __- O'Conner / 47- Baertschi

DEFENSE :
- Pairing #1 ------ 8 ~ 58 ------ Dumo & Letang are Still 1 of the best Top pairings in the NHL
- Pairing #2 ------ 28 ~ 6 ------ Both of Marino & Pettersson keep getting better, love this 2nd pairing
- Pairing #3 ------ 5 ~ 4 ------ This will be 1 of the best 3rd pairings in the NHL, Loved the Mathy trade & think Ceci will be solid.

- H/S D-man ------ 2-Ruhwedel ---- The best #7 in NHL
- 1st Call Ups ------ 7-Dahlstrom / __-Trotman / 73-P.O. Joseph / __-Maniscalco

Goalie :
- #1A ------ 35- Jarry ------ IMO, Jarry will turn into a Top 10 NHL Goalie
- #1B ------ 31- Hill ------ This kid is a legit future #1 & would be a great 1B to Jarry for next cpl yrs.
- #3 ------ 34 - Howard ------ If Teams will be keeping [3] Goalies, he could help both Jarry & Hill as a a vet.
- #3 ------ 32- Stolarz ------ If given a chance I think Stolarz could be a solid #2 but would be a great #3.

why wouldn't VAN just trade the 1st for Rakell?

I think you put way to much faith in that 3rd pairing. Ceci is a tire fire waiting to has gas dumped all over it and Matheson needs someone who can play well to help him bounce back. Ceci paired with him, is almost assured to sink him. Which is why Ceci and Ruhwedel need to both sit down and let Maniscalco

Ducks decline they don’t need a LHD at all, especially as a main part of the return for Rakell

Canucks don't need to make that trade they could just sign RNH or Schwartz in the offseason

Or make the Rakell trade. If that's what is to be enough, the canucks definitely have the assets to do it lol

I like the idea of signing Granlund, low risk high reward

Same division & don't see to many ANA-VAN trades
If he is ready Im fine with Maniscalco playing but I've always said u have to give a traded D-man a chance in new system when traded or signed bf I form an opinion of them & I'll give Mathy & CC a chance 1st.

Thank you & appreciate it.

But after 2 average seasons from Rakell, I think that is a fair price BUT u could be rite tho.

Riikolla is a LHD but is better on his off hand side.

But in ur opinion what is the biggest need for Ducks?
BTW I loved the Drysdale pick, IMO he is such a great skater & will be great there for the next 15+ yrs.

Well there are 2 things that happen every year, but don't think I trade Johnny Hockey at all... The kid is so good.
1- Paying Taxes
2- a Ducks - Pens Trade

That doesn’t matter though the Ducks need true RDs not a lefty that can play the right. We have Fowler, Djoos, Curran, Larsson who can all do that.

Right handed wingers are the Ducks biggest need so moving Rakell is counter productive

I agree, I've always said that Granlund is a Dom Simon type of hockey player (but way more talented) & could be a perfect wing for Sid

I mean didn't we all know JJ was a tire fire the day that was signed? I mean pretty much everyone knew that. I know I know...crosby. ok. But we all knew.
Didn't we all know Hunwick was not the answer the day that was signed. I mean I'm pretty sure everyone did.
I don't know 3rd times a charm?

as far as same division. I mean I'd get it if they were competitive. But ANA ain't competitive. It's ok for teams to make deals when one is and one isn't. Hell we even made trades with the *gasp* flyers on our cup run.
