Keep Rust with Guentzel and Crosby

It's one of the best, if not the best line at 5v5 this year

So yeah, play them a lot

Please no, Carter can barely handle his limited minutes right now

Not sure our issue is defense being too tired

I disagree that keeping them together is for the best. The Pens have been a one-line team for a couple weeks. Spread the wealth a little. What's the point of having the best line in the league if the rest isn't contributing? Geno and Smith are in a cold streak right now. I thought swapping Smith and Rust last night would spark the two of them, but I guess not.
And I don't want to play the top line too much. At that age, they can't be relied on for everything. I don't want to over work them now and then have them fall off down the stretch.

Not the biggest fan. Feel like it just unnecessarily complicates things like line changes and chemistry

Good thought up until their early 30s, pushing the horse a little too hard at their age unfortunately. I anticipate that in '25 and even more in '26, a key piece will be adding a great scoring 3C to keep Geno and Sid to 17 mins a night instead of 19

Almost a quasi 2C (meaning he’s a 3C for everybody’s ego but he’s playing 15+ min a night…. With special teams

Exactly, Jordan Staal type, before he blew up I thought RNH could be that guy. Then you have them play "floater" type F3 role up high while young wingers are either fast or strong and do all the tough puck retrieval work in the O-zone
