Quoting: Pens2000
whether or not tatar plays with sid i think hes a great signing. montreal fumbled hard not playing him and i think his price dropped a bit with that. one of petty or matheson is gone for sure imo. it just has to happen if they pens want to get better whether that's adding on f, d or g. marino, tang, dumo are locks of course which leaves the last 3 spots available. matheson is impossible to move so he'll take one spot. i think POJ makes it this year. they'll grab a RHD in FA or go with friedman. i think they need to add a fwd or 2 but im not sure who and whether its through FA or a trade. the key for them tho is goaltending and they'll make the biggest splash there. mrazek shouldn't cost too much
I think Matheson is the guy out the door. I don't think he's impossible to move, especially in this market. It's not like he's a bad player, despite what people think of the contract.
I'd like to think Seattle does a deal and takes him. But honestly it might be McCann.
They can't go with Friedman, he's not very good.
This team is tight to the cap. There has to be some changes. It has to be youth as it's cheap and they have no cap.
If they move McCann, you got Poulin.
They could move ZAR to save cap space and play OConnor. Who is a hell of a player.
If they move one of MP or Matheson, you are probably looking at POJ despite how cringe that will probably end up as he's not ready.
I would not be surprised if we see Maniscalco next year on RD. He's very solid and had a mess of a year last year. But the talent is there.
This team is going to look different next year I think.
