Adams - Glass - Zonnnerchuck (I refuse to spell his name correctly)
Do the Pens get a prize for assembling the worst line in the history of the NHL?
only if it ever becomes a line.

Has nothing to do with being smart. Its about not jumping off the Roberto Clemente bridge every time Shero makes a decision about someone that the rabble feels is unworthy of playing for "their" team
Shero just won GM of the year and put the team in the best position to win a Cup in years, but this place is so ready to fire him for everything. Blysma just got named head coach of team USA but everyone around here flat out wants him dead at this point.
One or two people say that Adams is slow and old and you can see all the sheep around here gathering to jump on board. Adams is making chump change but is now our top PK guy. He's uber solid in that regard, but people are just so used to agreeing with what a few people around here think
Here's an idea to all the mindless donkeys that post here without really knowing much about the game: Formulate your own opinion and post based on that

Just spoke with Craig Adams. Why did he sign with Pens again? "Because I think about family every day."

Our team is soft and worse than last year's team on paper.
I'm totally fine with Vitale & Adams being 2/3rds of the 4th line as long as Glass isn't the other 3rd.
I'd rather pay someone with upside like Skille (10 years younger, bigger and faster) a million than having our 4th line dragged down by old Adams at 700k.
Meanwhile, Lapierre signs for St.Louis at $1.1m.
So if the Pens are done and if either Sid or Malkin get hurt then we get Adams as a 2nd line center possibly YAY

No, Dustin Jeffrey is a great (and extremely underrated) centre to step up in that type of situation, provided he is at least a regular fixture in the bottom six so he's always fresh and in game shape. He's a great fill-in for a short-term fix.
Longer-term: while we continue to have a dearth on the wing, 2 of our top 3 forward prospects are centres. Shero & Co. obviously are aware of this issue and have been drafting accordingly. Perhaps within 2-3 years, guys like Sundqvist or Blueger could be ready to step in and play in a 3rd/4th line C role.

He's also forgetting about, Jokinen. Even if both Geno and Sid go down again the centers would be.
Jokinen
Sutter
Jeffrey
Vitale/Adams

Well, isn't that a nice guy?
Dupuis might even center a top line before Jeffrey. He sure as hell would before Vitale or Adams He did a decent enough job there for a few games this past season.
Although Morrow-Dupuis-Bennett was really good for the two or three games they were together.
You're probably right. I mean, even Kennedy did last year

hopefully Bennett learned a thing or two from Morrow and Iginla.
Its like Morrow and Dupuis had some sort of chemistry thing going on.
right. does he want to be a good hockey player, or does he want his coach to play himI think he learned the opposite.

rock, meet hard place
Compromise: Beau Bennett shows up to camp with his hair dyed grey and a walking stick.

Don't forget we are talking about the Penguins. When things work its broken up after 3 games... when things don't work its forced until our eyes bleed.Weird. I even seem to remember Morrow saying that the Morrow-Jokinen-Dupuis line built good chemistry during a post game interview.
But chemistry doesn't exist or matter, unless, you know, it's the best line in hockey we're talking about.
I support this deal.

Just spoke with Craig Adams. Why did he sign with Pens again? "Because no other GM was dumb enough to offer me a contract. Although there were some teams in Norway who showed interest."
