Agreed
Sorry Spike, your boy Depres never panned out. But maybe Sully can pull a Schultzy on him.
It's not because "he didn't pan out"
He's had major multiple concussion issues, only played 1 game this year because of it. If anybody knows how to handle concussions, it's the pens. He's only 26.
Oshie... Are the caps looking to re-negotiate with him though?
I really don't see Bonino coming back. He just won 2 Cups and is 29. If there was ever a time to cash in, it's now. He probably isn't going to give us a discount to stay on..

Penguins looking for toughness that can "play on a regular basis"
“We are going to try to add a player or two that maybe we can have more protection in our lineup,” Rutherford said, per the Tribune-Review. “That’s not that easy because [coach Mike Sullivan] likes to roll four lines and you’ve got to plug a guy in that can play on a regular basis, but hopefully that’s what we can do.”
What Rutherford wants to add is probably someone along the lines of Kyle Clifford or Matt Martin — a tough guy that can play regular shifts and chip in with the occasional bit of offense. Both Clifford and Martin were among the league leaders in scraps this season. Clifford scored 12 points in 73 games while averaging just under 11 minutes per night, while Martin played all 82 regular season and six playoff tilts for the Leafs.
I disagree. We need a couple of tough guys that can contribute. Seeing our guys getting the **** kicked out of them all game long just doesn't sit well with me. And the refs let that **** go all playoffs long. Nashville pounded the **** out of Crosby in the first 4 games.
Yeah I don't want to see Rutherford add any goons to this team. They need to stick to skilled players as that's what helped win them two straight Cups.

My daughter shot me a text today to say she waited on Olli Maatta. Huge Pens fan, she's all happy.
