Pens should face the obvious - it's time to rebuild. They can do it the same way as Washington by playing prospects next to the old stars. Eller is not really needed for Pens

I agree, that could be any team that gives a 3rd round peak for the 3rd-line C with 1.225MM salary cap

I know. He can help a contender but Pens don't need him. I would rather put Yager to top 6

Long term it's a pretty good return. Plus Pens don't need EK in this stage of the team

Thank you for the post! That was a great job!

About Pens in short - we suck…
But there is one more positive moment. Goalies line is good long term. And if we finish at the current position, we will have a top 10 peak this year.

Thread: one last run all in this year and no future

These all trades are bad for the future:
minus Pickering, Yager, 2 1st and 1 2nd rounds for 2 players that will leave the team next summer. Same thing for Chychrun, who will leave in 2 years.

So, 2024 summer, no playoff, no peaks, no future at all.
In 2026, Ottawa will get first peak when Pens go to the very bottom :)

I agree but I don't get why management does not see the obvious. The team is old and slow with a limited prospects list. Yager, Pickering, Murashov, Blomqvist,...maybe Pieniniemi and Ilyin. That's it. There will be no rebuilding without prospects.

Nikishin is great but he will stay in Russia at least till 2025, you need a player like EK67.

It's next season and Pens need to start rebuilding. Malkin will be 38, Letang and Crosby - 37. Even if we make it to they playoff this year, we will loose 1:4 in the first round. I think it's time to stop burning draft picks and start building a new team. With making it's right 3-4 years will be enough. Malkin, Letang, and Crosby should start growing a new team.

Thread: next year

Pens should trade Nedeljkovic and not extend him. Blomqvist is ready to be a 2nd next season. Murashov (next Vasilevsky) will come in 2 years and will be ready to replace Jarry at the of his contract.
