Thread: Line up after break
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bigZ98</b></div><div>I think this team needs a trade for a top 6 player before the bye week ends. We need another legit top 6 winger to play with Sid. I love McCann, but Im not sure he can be "the winger" on the first line. He is more of the complimentary winger type right now at least. He might do better on the 3rd line as he has shown before. I think a top 6 winger like Saad, Krieder, toffoli, or Zucker is needed with crosby and simon</div></div>

I don't see an immediate rush to fill the top6 role, but they definitely don't want to wait too long where players start going and they are left with little to be desired. Prices are still probably too rich for the Pens to bite on, and luckily with how well their December went they bought a little extra time. McCann can play, and I think if the Pens were to hold their hand until closer to the deadline, these are the best lines they can roll.

Very much into that third line. We have seen how good the others have been, but Bjugstad &amp; Hornqvist have always complimented each other well and I am still holding my breath for a Galchenyuk breakthrough. Maybe not an unreal tear, but atleast contributing on the PP and some snipes.

Only thing I want to change is the D pairings to get Jack Johnson off Letang's pair. Not a fan of Schultz playing with him either, but they have done it in the past and Letang needs a break since he has to fly/play in All Star weekend :D

Thread: Next SZN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsTalkNHL</b></div><div>I do not think it is necessarily giving up on Murray. If Jarry keeps it up, it is clear that hell be the long-term option. I love Murray and appreciate everything he's done here in such a short amount of time. The way I see it, we need to move one of them before the Seattle expansion draft, since I do not want to lose another sick goalie for free. Let's say we keep him past this season and he puts up similar numbers next year, his value won't be high at all, but well be forced to make a move because of Seattle. If we move him in the summer, we can still get a solid return because of his age, credentials and potential. One bad year is something he can bounce back from for sure, but two years will really lower his value. Sure, next year could be an awesome year for him and he brings up his value and the Pens could do that, but they'll have to sign him to a contract and I am worried about the cap space.</div></div>

Very good point about the expansion draft, kind of forgot that's on it's way. Yikes, I guess you're right. You did mention to keep him through this season so I guess I can live with only a few more months of Muzz :(
