I like Letang and Dumo together. Fix it Sully

I think they have to split Dumo and Letang up to make up for the loss of Schultz. Problem is, Johnson and Maatta drag down everyone they play with.

Cole would have been traded anyways because of Sullivan. Better would be, imagine if they gave Riikola a legit shot before signing Johnson to a FIVE YEAR DEAL!

I think it's 100 percent effort. The effort isn't there, the team isn't interested in winning puck battles.

^^^^ Exactly right. Just go back and watch the third period. The Pens went into full effort mode and made a short-lived comeback attempt. They were all over the Sens. Before the third period, it was a continuation of no effort, no passion.
