Possibly, in which case we have Bennett and Wilson to toss up there while we search for a short-term solution. If he thrives, he thrives. I think he just might; playing there with Crosby and Hornqvist his role will be speedy triggerman. The important thing is that we get him to that 1LW spot eventually.

One of Letang, Pouliot, and Daley will get hurt for large swaths of the season. Schultz gets in the lineup in their place, and will probably end up playing 50 games as a result. I don't think he pairs well with any of those three guys, and hasn't done enough to pass any of them on the depth chart.

Reasoning for Kunitz trade is that Calgary's LW depth is terrible and Kunitz theoretically fits the team mantra. Jooris is a nice hardworking player. Draft pick can be downgraded or taken away if necessary.
After Foligno and Atkinson (who seems to be on the way out) CBJ is weak on the right side, and Hornqvist would thrive in Columbus. Rychel is hopefully a longterm top-six power-forward who would be perfect to replace Kunitz on the left side. Pens downgrade the goalie prospect to even things out a bit. Draft pick or prospect can be added if needed.

Boedker UFA signing is pretty huge, gives the Pens wing balance, Crosby a speedy defensively sound LW, and also experience on the left side. If Sundqvist thrives trade Bonino or Fehr and slot Rust in at LW.

Scuderi buyout needs no explanation. Gunnarsson signing isn't fantastic but provides a much-needed defensive presence without having to sign a retirement contract above 5 million.
