re: Unofficial NHL Season-Long Thread: Puckheads Unite!

The Penguins injuries/mumps issues have finally caught up to them, and the team is spiraling, even a Crosby goal tonight couldn't spark them. 100 man games lost in December alone, we'll catch CBJ in no time at this pace for tops in the league.




But, wtf do you do? We know how good the Pens are at full strength, probably your top seed in the East. So do you just do nothing, knowing that within the next month-ish, all of these guys will be back? Maatta, Ehrhoff, Martin, Downie, Hornqvist, Comeau, Adams, and Bennett will all be back within the next month, Dupuis is done for the year. Downie will be any game now from mumps, Hornqvist is 2-3 weeks, Comeau is 2-3 weeks, Ehroff is 2 weeks, Maatta is a month, Adams any day, Martin few weeks.

This makes it much more difficult to make a trade, because we want to get a solid top 2 line winger and maybe another B6 player, but all 3 of our trade chips are defensemen and they're all 3 playing right now because of the injuries to Ehroff, Martin, and Maatta.

ALSO: Pens are to begin talking with Ehrhoff's agent "soon" to talk extension. Knew it. frick yes, him and Letang for a few more years.
