Thread: Pens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bijon</b></div><div>That's fair. Some of the moves I did were more placeholders. Boyle/Zohorna are placeholders for "min contract player". DeSmith is a placeholder for a backup goalie. Honestly wasn't expecting anyone to look at this haha. Was just playing around.

However, I would be ok with mostly returning the difference makers. Completely dominated the Rangers and should've won easily. Maybe the Rangers are just that bad but I was happy with the playoff performance minus the result which I pin on injuries and refs.</div></div>

While I agree that the Pens dominated the Rangers and probably would have won with Jarry in net, I still think the Pens need some finishers. Removing Kap, Zucker and maybe Dumo since he's lost a step, and letting POJ and DOC player would give the Pens the ability to sign someone who can actually score goals. Kap and Zucker have been ridiculous underwhelming in their Pens Tenure, and I think Dumo can be replaced nowadays. Preferably by Petts, and let Matheson play with Marino. 3rd Pair of POJ-Ruh would be fine by me.

Thread: Remaking the D and the 2nd line
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>Geno put up over half of his points on the PP. That is all he is good at anymore. You can't have a guy who is a 5 on 5 liability half the time making 6.6 million a year at 36 years old. It is a bad idea. I am not saying they won't resign him but it would be a mistake</div></div>


Geno had an xGF of 54.27%. Sid had an xGF of 54.47%. Biggest different likely causing the final results? Quality of teammates. Sid plays the majority with Jake, Rust, Letang. Geno plays with Heinen, Kapenan, Matheson.

One of those groups is not like the other. Geno's "liability" is more likely due to his poorly chosen linemates than it is his play. When they swapped Rakell to Sid's line and Rust with Geno, Geno's line went 9 gf, 7 ga. Big difference when you give him a bonafide top winger.
