Thread: Did Ray Shero Make Any Bad Trades In Pittsburgh

I don’t think the Penguins defense is that bad, only Johnson is the main concern. Honestly, I feel Evgeni Malkin will have the most impact on the team’s fate next season. If he bounces back and stays consistent by putting up 90-100 points, the Penguins will be a force to be reckoned with. If he continues to decline, the team will suffer.

Thread: Kessel Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OshietheBeast</b></div><div>Yea, I don't think you get Kessel that easy. I mean the dude had a monster season.</div></div>

How short do you think #5 overall is? I agree that the Pens don't <strong>need</strong> to trade The Phil but the opportunity to draft Hughes would add a lot of life to the Pen's defensive pipeline. He could potentially even take over as a top pairing guy in the future.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OshietheBeast</b></div><div>And Gally was promised a role as a center</div></div>

I rarely pass up an opportunity to make fun of the Habs but if Therrien, Julien, and Bergevin all said that he just doesn't cut it at center, I would be inclined to believe them. I think Arizona will obviously help him to hit the "reset" switch and try him at Center and see how he does.

His scoring prowess really makes him a threat playing with Strome though.
