Thread: Healthy lines I want to see
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I said last year OConner would make the NHL and he did. He should stick on the team this year.
But he's not a 2nd line player. I like the guy, but he's part of the new bottom 6 that is coming.

The next one is Caulfield. You might see him at the end of this year if we are lucky.
They are gonna be the 4th line this team has been missing for some time. Big, Fast, Physical. Paired with a really great 3rd line with Blueger.
The team will have depth but the issue will be the cap in the top 6.

OConnor just doesn't have the high end needed to be a top 6. But he's gonna make a really great bottom 6 guy.

Your Defense will never work though. POJ isn't a 1LD. Matheson can't play the right side.
If he could they wouldn't be hoping and praying on Chad and Friedman.

They have to go out and find a RD. This is kind of like the GMJR move of last year. Start the season all screwed and then wait to see what you can trade for later.
The problem is, if their RD gets hurt, they are cooked. They can't afford to have 1 legit RD.

I think they are hoping Maniscalco can show after a little bit of time in WBS. He played all of 8 games last year jetting out of AZ due to COVID shutting it down.
The whole year was a mess for him. They are hoping to normalize that and see what he can do.
This team has no real RD prospects other than him, so if he doesn't turn out, they are gonna be screwed for years to come unless they can find a NCAA FA or find some cap space.

Hell other than Caulfield they don't have all that much at this point. Svejkovsky and Broz are the only other two worth keeping an eye on in the skaters. Everything they have at this point is in WBS and should be 1/2 to 1 year away or going on bust mode.</div></div>

So you’re not sold on Puustinen being a solid prospect?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Where’d Jeff Carter go??

It would have been nice not to give up any of these players though.

Especially Archinbald and Oleksaik. They would’ve been big help in the play-offs.

I’m not a Sundqvist fan though. I think he’s overrated.

I think the Pens have better options in Gaudreau/ Angello/Lafferty/Zohorna/D.OConnor. IMO, all are better options and a lot cheaper.

Lafferty and E-Rod are even better Centers options too. Sundqvist mostly plays wing anyways. He’s not a good playmaker for his linemates. Not a good Center.

Mark Jankowski = O.Sundqvist.</div></div>

Either way they could’ve used Sundqvist in a different trade to actually bring in a good asset rather than fourth line garbage that played 5 mins a night under Mike Sullivan.
