Most (recent) forgettable Penguins

[molon labe]

Recency being subjective - who are your most forgettable Penguin players?


My list: Patrick Marleau, Derick Brassard, Tanner Pearson, Colton Sceviour, David Warsofsky, Antti Niemi, and Danton Heinen (I actually forget he's on this team, even during games)

Likely forgetting names...because of course.

Tough to beat Pearson, but I'd add Sheahan, Kahun, and Jankowski.

Jankowski

I think Jankowski and Sceviour fit this perfectly. I don't think Pearson and Brassard fit that well because they were brought in with expectations and played in pretty substantial roles.

2015 - Mark Arcobello
2016 -Kevin Porter
2017 - Cameron Guance

2021 - Likely Lafferty.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Among established NHL players, Derek Grant was pretty forgettable.

 

[ColePens]

Man the first two posts nailed it.

Lafferty for sure. Some still on the team just now making noise. Some more than others.
Jack Johnson
Nick Bjugstad
Alex Galchenyuk
Joseph Blandisi
Chad Ruhwedel - Decent season to date, but otherwise forgettable, especially in the playoffs.
Dominik Simon - Did we really miss him, and is he really needed?
Evan Rodrigues - Only now this season, but otherwise forgettable.

Predicated this team seems to load up on a lot of the same you're bound to have a rather large list. Trying to not overlap others who have already been mentioned .

I wish I could forget JMFJ

Simon and E-Rod have both been HFBoardPens whipping boys (rightfully) which I can't forget either.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Niklas Nordgren
Micki Dupont

Not sure if that's recent enough, but Crosby was on the team. I mean, I recall Nordgren, but absolutely do not recall Dupont.

 

[Captain Hook]

Marleau is a really good one. Definitely one of those where you think "Oh yeah, he was a Penguin for a short time". Very forgettable run for him here.

 

[Andy99]

This is who I came to post. Dude was great for us then got brained and was never the same. Poor guy. Think he's still getting some cheese from Buffalo.

 

[vodeni]

[Al Smith]

And Tangradi - horribly - was Trevor Gillies'.
