As much as Eaton may not be flashy/noticeable, he's a great defensive defenseman. He deserves to be here, and I'm shocked no other team gave him a shot. Guess it's because he just plays a steady defensive game with no offense or physicality.
He's great as a depth guy, but giving Borts 0 games in favor of this guy just seems like a mistake.

I guess you can teach a guy (Tangradi) to go to the front of the net but you can't teach them to battle tooth and nail for every inch of ice until they're gasping for air (like Morrow). And we're seeing what a difference that makes.

Hey guys, don't look now but the "shaky defense/goalie" Pens have given up 9 goals in the last 10 games and have two shutouts in a row. Eat it, NHL.

Wins are easy. Let's see how many consecutive shutouts we can get. :laugh:

When Eaton plays in a loss, maybe we can consider it. Right now we are on a 14 game win streak and have given up less than a goal per game over the last 10 games I think. Now is not the time to juggle the defense for the sake of a rookie.
