The All Purpose Pens Off Day(s?) Thread - Injuries, Practice, Injuries, Lines, More Injuries, etc

[Peat]

Let it continue. The thread that is. Sounds like it's a bit beyond optimism to hope for other things to continue...

... but hey, maybe we end up super lucky and they hold playoffs at a later point where Sid and Jake are healthier!

Suspending the season is the right thing to do. The health of the players, their families, and coaches, fans, etc is the most important thing.

It sucks, but that's life.

So uh, who do we have in the first round?

Edit: with a simple Google search, solely based on points as of now, we have Philly.

But how does that actually work when teams haven't played the same amount of games yet?

points percentage.

That's what I figure they would use.

Just food for thought, but if the playoffs get delayed, do you think Jake has a chance to make it back for round 1?

Depends how long they get delayed for. If they're starting the playoffs in June or something like that then yes Jake would be available presumably.

I believe end of April was the very earliest he may be seen, so possibly but at this date I'd place no bets on it.

Conn Smythe goes to The Bat

Best case is they push it back a month or so, resume and finish the season (don't expect that) and then have the full playoffs. We get some rest for Sid and Guentzel to recuperate as well as the rest of the team, come back and roll to the Cup. Thanks, Uncle Gary.

Might not be ruining at all. Sid gets more rest to recover from his surgery. Jake will be back. Letang and our whole D has been overworked bc of all the man games lost to injury - they get a breather.

The virus is expected to peak in June. I don't see how they get back to playing hockey.

I personally believe neither the NBA nor NHL will resume their seasons...but whatever gives people hope

Everyone gets an equal shot at the draft. Penguins win #1 and the franchise is set for the next 15 years.

If season is cancelled and playoffs too, Pens keep their 2020 1st round pick and fork up our 2021 1st in the Zucker trade. Great draft to have a 1st round pick in. We lose our 3rd in the Marleau deal instead of a 2021 2nd since we have 0 chance at winning cup. Gave up a 3rd for 8 games of Marleau.

8 games and 1 inspiring goal, I'll have you know. Too bad it inspired the Canes...

 

[ownal]

Will the NHL give us a comp pick if Marleau decides to retire before the season continues?
