Vejmelka for Vezina
Any guesses as to a starting lineup?
The almighty Joe Vitale as the #1C. Crosby can go back being the #3C, just like the regular season.
Any guesses as to a starting lineup?
Kennedy - Crosby - Dupuis
Kunitz - Malkin - Neal
Cooke - Sutter - Jeffrey
Tangradi/Glass - Vitale - Adams
Orpik - Letang
Despres - Niskanen
Martin - Engelland
These are exactly the lines they start with, except Depres' spot is on the 3rd pairing and he will be fighting for it....Open competition and I'm not so sure he is a clear favorite with his current AHL season.......end thread
It would be nice to see BB get a shot as the 14th skater.
it makes my blood boil to see crosby stuck with those wingers.

I actually think Neal is perfect for Crosby's line and the Pens should be shopping for Malkins wingers.it makes my blood boil to see crosby stuck with those wingers.

Even if Malkin/ Neal sticks long term I think Sid still gets Kunitz and Dupes. He's worked well with them in the past and might see less checking because teams will try to defend Malkin/ Neal.
I know some people think the Pens have a lot of holes but landing that 1 scoring winger makes for a very nice top 9. Sure it would be great to land Iggy, Marleau, Pominville or Elias but a guy like Clowe, Lupul or Pavelski would be just as great.
If we grabbed Clowe in the offseason I would like to try
Tangradi Malkin Clowe
A big strong line that would have excellent puck possession. That line could score goals and physically wear down oppositions d. Obviously if tangradi stinks then I'm sure he will see the third line or be gone all together

I think we need another precision tool. If we're talking SJ forwards, Pavelski all day. RHS, versatile player, F/O ace, can play in any situation.
If we want to put Neal on with Sid, I would like to try to Kulemin.
In fact...there are several wings I wouldn't mind trying for...
Grabbing Kulemin and Clowe at the deadline would be money.
Kunitz-Crosby-Clowe
Kulemin-Malkin-Neal
Cooke-Sutter-Dupuis
That is a legit, cup contending top 9. The only thing that would suck there is I'm not sure if Clowe is fast enough to keep up with Sid. Dupuis's speed is key to his even semi-ability to "keep up" with Sid.
Clowe for TK + 2nd/Dman prosp
Kulemin for ...?
If they are smart Pavelski will be a Shark for a long time.
I would still be happy to have Setoguchi. I still think they will try to move Heatly if they decide to move a wing.
