Team: 2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 13, 2022

Published: Apr. 13, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Retool and rebuild, we are kind of in the middle with these options. If Geno and Letang are both back it’ll probably be a slight retool. If one leaves it’s a soft rebuild. However, if the unforeseen happens and we went for a more aggressive rebuild A LOT of change would follow. 87 is never leaving but beyond that who else really is untouchable?

Sharks keep Labanc and the 3rd. Still could rebound.

You want to keep that guy and his waste of a cap hit?

Yes, in lieu of paying to get rid of him, I think he deserves another shot. He can be good.

I agree but if we did a real rebuild moving him brings back the most assets by far
