Trading for Kapanen is what lost us our first. We should have let Minny have it last year.
Easy to say that in hindsight. What if that pick had won Lafreniere?

It's pretty stunning how bad our top six is right now.
If they were even mediocre, I think this is a total different picture.
No puck luck and facing a hot goalie, the Pens excuses for years.With a bit of puck luck we could have had something from these two games but it's not like Philly was playing some amazing hockey and we just came short, they played mostly bad like us but with a few bursts of two or three goals. I shudder to think what we might do against a team with decent D if our Top 6 can't score even once 5 on 5 against this Flyers team. Why can't Sully at least try to move something, anything to get the top lines going? And the PP is literally painful to watch, how can you get so much talent in one unit and yet it looks so lost so often year after year?
I grow weary of watching Rust on the PP. What they need is a disruptive net front presence. . . .
They soff.THEY. JUST. DON'T. CARE. ANY. MORE.
(even if they ever did)
I love the guy, but Malkin is not Jagr. Not even close. Jagr is a top 10 forward to ever play the game.

True, also, maybe i dunno lottery protect first round pick trades from your downward trending underperforming team?
That ISN'T hindsight
Malkin's shot is gone
Outsider here who has watched the Last two games, so my observations are probably a bit naive.
- Malkin and Zucker appear to have no chemistry. Malkin is a WAY better player, but Zucker is pretty easy to play with if you have vision and can pass, AND draw a lot of attention to yourself. Malkin has all three of those attributes. Maybe it's just a matter of time?
- with the talent your team can put out there, how the hell can you have such a bad PP? Truly mind boggling.
- will a lot of problems go away once Kapanen comes back?
- Bruce Boudreau is a good coach, and knows how to handle star players. Just saying.
- Erod...why?
