A bit of steel

Created by: Amd
Team: 2022-23 Pittsburgh Penguins
Initial Creation Date: Feb. 21, 2023
Published: Feb. 21, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
This team needs some dudes who can perhaps be a bit of a deterrent.

Embarrassing watching Malkin and Sid get mugged every night.

While these moves make Pitt look way slower, Dickinson is definitely quicker than Carter, and tougher than Blueger. Ritchie’s another big body, and Schenn has had a great year on a terrible team and blocks a ton of shot, and a definite upgrade on Ruh.

    You think they will demote Carter? lol. Just keep the pending free agents and keep the cap room for free agency rather than rotating deck chairs on the titanic.

    I like the creativity and see where you're going, just not sure these moves really would have any significant impact on making the team better. Ritchie is a downgrade from Kap. Dickinson is better than Carter, but now you have Carter on the 4th line which is a downgrade from Blueger. Seems like a wash at best imo

    It is - my hope would actually be that Poehling plays 4c over Carter, who would shift to wing/face off duty.

    I guess the making the team better is a best guess - if Ritchie can hang on the 2nd line, perhaps Rust can shift to 3RW, which would be significant. But a lot of hope. Also, if you have a bruiser with Malkin he can stay out of the muck.

    I agree - Poehling would be nice and probably better there. Only issue is I think Archibald has been fantastic on that 4th line so Carter would then be playing over him. Basically I just think Carter needs to be benched haha

    Yeah its tough - there aren't a lot of easy options for improvement. Honestly if we're moving Rust down - I might rather just give Kap another shot with Malkin. You would hope lol - but I think Malkin loves the muck. He's playing with a couple guys now who aren't afraid to muck it up and Geno still gets involved haha
