For me it would be Staal. Doubt that ever happens though.

 

[Mario_is_BACK!!]

Phil and Cole should have never left.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Winner: Staal quite easily, allowing Malkin to move to 1LW.

Other Guys that would be nice: Sheary (so we don't have to play against him), Bonino, Cole, Hornqvist, Sundqvist, Fleury

Players I never want to see here again: Kessel, Schultz, Maatta, Hagelin, Bjugstad, Galchenyuk, Murray

none lol…but I’m not a MAF fanboy, and I think he’s the only one we could actually use (at their current ages and abilities)

After the year Staal just had in the RS and Playoffs, seriously? You wouldn't want him?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Kessel and Hornqvist.

Shocker, I know.

 

[Pens x]

If we had a capable coach, I’d take these guys back shirt-term.

Kessel
Staal
Cole
Horny
Maybe Sheary

 

[Gurglesons]

Out of everything we need right now?

Probably Perron and Muzzin tbh.

This is quality. I'd forgotten about Perron. He'd be a great add.

I still would take Staal but I'd have to have a think between the two.

I get the idea of wanting Staal, but he’s basically one conky away from a career ender. Also, I think Geno is going to surprise a lot of people next year. His big issue this year was conditioning. If he comes back from this injury he is probably going to be in the best condition of his life. Or his career is over.

I doubt Carter is what he was last year, but McCann can easily fill that 3C role with Carter on RW.

Geno is going to be 35. At some point you can't keep reaching for the fountain of youth. He will not be in the best condition of his life. Only through artificial testosterone can an athlete be in his best condition at age 35.

Staal is 2 years younger.

I think Geno-Sid would be a really fun 1st line and I don't get the reticence to go to it. They look great out there together and can create space for each other. Geno can end his career as a dynamic playmaking wing (in fairness I always thought Geno's twilight years would be on Sid's wing; I think it's time to just...do that.) My only real concern is the regression of his shot.

No, too old for a forward…with one good year in the past several…

 

[TNT87]

Hell I'll go with Reaves.

 

[dogthateats]

Staal, Oleksiak, Cole, maybe Sprong, who I don’t even like,

 

[PensandCaps]

Do not miss Cole and his awful amount of penalties.

The best former Penguins atm are Perron, Hornqvist and Staal. Would like all of them back.

I wouldn't mind Sunqvist, Pearson or Archibald back.

Don't miss Kessel at all. Guy was annoying to watch after 2018.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Definitely Staal. Maybe Cole.

Too early to say Addison?

I just want new ownership.

The only way we will ever see the changes this God forsaken of a franchise with a country club loving legend owner of a team will ever see proper change is with an owner that isn't tied to some ridiculously stupid times where players dictated what happened.


New ownership.

Say it f***ing with me.

[OnMyOwn]

Kessel for me.

 

[EightyOne]

Are we taking them back at the height of their ability, or current day?

Cause current day, I want none of them.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

None of them. Muzzin, maybe?

Pass on Staal.

[Big McLargehuge]

I'm not a huge fan of recycled ideas.

I'm also never going to say a bad word about current ownership after the shit show that was Penguins ownership for pretty much our entire history prior to Mario...hell, throw in the Pirates' history too while we're at it. And arguably 2/3 of the Rooneys.
