Thread: Penguins 2021-22 Discussion Read Description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Haymaker26</b></div><div>I have to agree that the penguins are still in win-now mode and starting to rebuild should wait. Maybe I'm just naively optimistic, but I don't know how drastic we need to be to be a contender. I think we're overpaying for Staal and Greenway here, but that tends to happen with teams trying to hold onto cup contention like the Pens. There are only 2 things I think I'd disagree with. 1- I really liked the Danton Heinen signing. I think he can bounce back after leaving Anaheim, he has experience on both special teams, and his cap hit is only $1.1 mil. 2 - Taking Jake Guentzel off of the 1st line makes no sense. Even with the inclusions of Palmeri and Greenway, he is the best winger on the Penguins, and I think is underrated by fans of other teams. He shouldn't be anywhere other than Crosby's wing.</div></div>

I think Guentzel excels with Malkin. I think the addition of Palmeri with Crosby gives it that Dupuis like feel. In 2019 Malkin and Guentzel put up 22 points in 6 games. Obviously Guentz is Crosbys go to winger but putting him on Malkin's gives them two very strong lines. You could also go with Palmeri on third, Guentz w Crosby and Greenway w Malkin. So many possibilities with this team.
