Yes, pretty thin indeed my gordie friend, nice to see you're still up to 'the task'.
They could always look for that extra help from David Perron but he's playing his way into a one way ticket to the Swiss League.

What kids??? Bennett, Sundqvist, Dumoulin ? Pretty thin ranks to depend on.
Pouliot and Maatta. Convenient that you leave out the best two.
It goes without saying that Maatta has already established himself and Pouliot is the prized "kid" that has to play on a very thin defense. "Kids" would be those young players that surprise and make the team and that group is very small pool of players.
Pittsburgh's problems have been a lack of depth up front (and Fleury, at times), not a lack of two-way forwards.
No question Kessel is going to help them produce and that top 6 is going to be scary. Arguably the best in the league.
My point is the Pens already never had any trouble with their top 6 with those two monsters on the ice.
What has been a problem is their bottom six centers and right now it's still Brandon Blackhole Sutter and we don't know.
Yes yes gordie, very small of corpse, so thin that we see through it, get it?
Keep on entertaining my friend, you're so bad at it that you're like those B-movies, you actually become good.
Pens would have at minimum two more cups without half of the injuries the last seven years.
Their only problem this year is health. If they are healthy they are a legitimate contender, and the favorite out of the East.
The depth isn't there. Can't have Scuderi, Kunitz, Dupuis, Perron and Lovejoy taking up 5 roster spots. The NHL is systematic and goals are scored more by teams then individuals and no NHL team is more individually-oriented right now then the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Still can't believe they traded Despres for Lovejoy.
He can score on his own but I don't think he's a guy who's going to dictate play on his own.
Regardless, I see Kessel as a good move for the Pens overall. But they need more. Everyone's talking about this team as a Cup contender and looking at the Metro I don't see a team as deep as Washington or the Islanders here.
Blackhole? He was one of the few bright spots in the bottom 6.
Still can't believe they traded Despres for Lovejoy.
He made everyone around him much much worse to make himself look slightly better to those who only watch highlights. Also a defensive sieve.
