Confirmed with Link: Pens sign Eric Fehr (3 years, $2M per)

There's always adjustments to be made on smaller ice. But like billybudd said, if he plays as well as he did in camp last year he should be in the big leagues regardless.

At the very least, I feel like he should be up while Fehr is out.

Yeah I agree with this. If he stays healthy in camp, he will be up while Fehr's out. I think they'd just see how Sundqvist plays & go from there. He's clearly not far from a full time job

Only thing I worry about is footspeed and his place on the roster with Fehr back. Is a 4th line of Sundqvist-Bonino-Bennett quick enough to work?

No. There shouldn't be a line with any of those three or Plotnikov. Kunitz, Dupuis and Fehr will need to be spread out so not all the poor skaters are all on one line.

If they're committed to letting everyone earn their spot and playing the bottom six pretty evenly, I'd go with Kunitz-Bonino-Bennett and Sundqvist-Fehr-Dupuis. Assuming Plotnikov is outplaying Kunitz, of course.

Kunitz could complement Beau well in a lesser role. And Sundqvist can get experience in more of a shutdown role. He can slide to center if Fehr gets hurt and/or before he's back without disrupting the other lines too much.

Why would someone be worried about an article from the insideronpittsburghsports?

Insufferable boredom? Poor reading habits? Bad judge of media? It's hard to nail down one answer but I'll go with those three or some combination.

Haha yea I agree. I don't think since they been around has the insider ever been right.
