Description

i have no idea how the penguins will fill these empty spots. I guess Granlund and Carter could be back next year but they really really shouldn't. No prospects ready to make the jump. No one in the bottom six deserves to stick around besides the 2 fourth liners resigned. Free agents??? Any ideas?? Also need another top four dman. Things might get even uglier next season

I thought Nylander did well on the 3rd line but the box 6 still needs a lot of help. No way Zucker resigns as he had a great year and the Pens won't be able to afford him. Maybe that moves Nylander to 2nd line, and that could leave the $20mil to fill the bottom six. And we still haven't gotten into the defence and goaltending which was horrible all year.

Things will get uglier if we dont rebuild. We will be out of the playoff race from the start

Michael Bunting? J. T. Compher?

Definitely great options but they will get signed at a premium and penguins may not have space to do so if they resign zucker and can't get rid of granlund/carter
