Both Fischer and Bennett suck. They're both a waste of a roster spot.

Do the Pens need some more physicality? Sure, but you can get players who are physical but also provide value offensively and/or defensively

You added Bennett and Fischer who have combined played 65 games and produced 4 goals and 5 assists.

You took out Gaudreau and Rodrigues who combined for 5 goals and 5 assists in 27 games...

Sully is right. Burke is a dinosaur who should not have been hired.

Tbf Bennett has a track record for stepping up in the post season and he plays pk now too. I would not be surprised if Burky offers a decent amount for him

I agree with you but Burke has indicated that they are going to do something stupid like this. I'd prefer Bennett over other options because he young-ish, has decent playoff numbers, and Burke loves him (so maybe this will shut him up about acquiring these types of players).

The big forward that would be a perfect fit is Mantha but he will be expensive and cause expansion issues.

They might not even need to hop right into the lineup. Just the idea of getting some players with grit makes sense to me. Bennett is my main acquisition here honestly. Maybe remove Fischer...

Gaudreau outplays either of them at C.

People on here keep talking about Burke. Burke doesn't get a say. This is not his team. This is Hextall's team. It's his show. He is the one who has the say of what is or is not going to happen.
Burke is a passenger.
