Worse

Marino is such a good 2-way RD defender on a good deal. Trading him even for Boeser is not a smart idea.

As when you look at that right side other than Letang yeah gonna see the GA go up thats for sure.

Penguins in general dont really have the need for him as they got players who can contribute offensively on all 4 lines.

Worse. Yeah we will get more scoring but instead of games being 3-1 or 4-2 at worst, they will lose games 8-6 or 9-8 lol.

And Ceci since going to Edmonton has become a shell of the guy Pittsburgh saw

Guess it was a one time thing lul

Marino is 24 years old and has some solid stats

Here is Ceci's stats when he was in Pittsburgh

I did some digging and he is playing pretty well this year. Although he is negative in GF% and HDGF% but that could be just luck.

Marino is grossly overrated by the portion of Pens fans that have no idea what they are talking about. He is a good player. That’s it.

A Marino-Boeser deal with Pittsburgh adding would be incredible for Pitt.
