Bortuzzo better be in, that blueline needs some...[BURKE]truculence[/BURKE] and while I have been more than pleasantly surprised at Svelte Simon with picking up his physicality, no one seems to piss off more people on the Pens on the blueline than Robert Bortuzzo and his oddly comedic but annoying chirping and style of play.
What I would like to see.
Ehrhoff, Letang
Martin, Harrington
Despres, Bortuzzo - Big boys, 6'4" each.
Scuderi sits.
Zucker was a guy I thought we could buy low on, but he's been great for them this year and well...I feel as though that ship might have sailed. I do hope Nino struggles and they ship him for something, I would gladly pay up a 2nd and Dumoulin for him and pray that is enough and hope the Wild then insist on Martin earlier than expected and we get more back.
I've thought about this way too much.
In any case, Wild do need help on defense, so while they are stacked with wingers, their depth on defense needs help right now. God I hope the Pens just destroy them to make them desperate enough to work out a good hockey trade with each other.
