Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins signed Louis Domingue (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CrossFireX33</b></div><div>I see the penguins have gotten serious about fixing their goaltending issues</div></div>

He was arguably the best UFA goalie available.

Rask is a UFA but a) injured til 2022 and b) wishes to retire a Bruin - so isn’t available by any definition.

Dubnyk has never been an elite goalie and his play has fallen off a Cliff - or two - the past 2 seasons.

McElhinney was a solid NHL back-up til he ran into Father Time last year &amp; will be lucky to get a PTO at this stage (although Craig Anderson got signed so who knows).

Jon Gillies has played a few NHL games and may have back-up potential but at best is a 3rd stringer after a rough season last year.

Other than that you have goalies that aren’t ready, and likely never will be ready, to play in the NHL:
Artyom Zagidulin
Jeremy Helvig
Evan Cormier
Cole Kehler
Jake Kielly

That’s it. Given what’s available - they’d have to give up assets in a trade or sign Domingue for league minimum.

Thread: Penguins lineup changes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>Honestly I am all for giving O'Connor a shot. Looked good in training camp and he even was on the PP2 in practice. I would love him to get a chance. I think the Zucker-Malkin-Rust line has been the weakest thus far. I would love to see Guentzel back on that line, because they had some real chemistry before he got hurt last year. Zucker and Sid also looked great together in the playoffs. I would go:
Zucker-Crosby-Kapanen
Guentzel-Malkin-Rust
McCann-Jankowski-Tanev
O'Connor-Blueger-Sceviour
(ZAR will also be back soon, wonder what they do then)
Defensively, I dont know who to put where between Ruhwedel and Ceci. I want POJ to be with the steadier dman, so Ruhwedel, but then again, I dont want Ceci on top 4 minutes. Its tough haha.</div></div>

This is exactly what I’m thinking

good articles plus what do you think of changing the lines up a bit?
