This reminds me of a post from after a Pens game with Erik Christensen.

I really thought Jordan and Skinner would be scoring a lot in Carolina together. Maybe another season together. Skinner is just like Kennedy, but can score 20 more goals per year.
I'd rather have Andy Hilbert for 2.0M than LTGK.

At this point of this season, salary cap hit means nothing. So, with that being said, if you'd take TK at $700k for the fourth line, what's the difference if he makes $2 mil. on the fourth line? The Pens have excess cap space and he has not hindered them from adding any players.
I'm not a fan of TK, but I don't understand this line of thinking, nor do I understand the line of thinking that there is no way he should dress in the playoffs. Like others on the team, he'll get the initial nod because of experience. He has earned that and because of that, he stands a better chance of helping in the high-pressure playoffs. That said, if he falters, BB will be knocking on the door and should get a chance relatively quickly -- at which point, he'll earn his experience and will solidify his spot in the future.

Because HCDB is still putting TK over BB in the top 9.

Jarmoe Imgla brings a lot more to the table than what you will see on the ice. He is a born leader, people respect him no matter which side of the ice they are on. Jarome's true value comes in the dressing room. Classy player that will boost the confidence of those around him and just make them want to play harder.
The other area Iggy is going to boost the Pens is on the physical side. I was really hoping the Pens would meet up with a team that has given them physical problems before in the playoffs, because that is exactly where Iggy will thrive. A lot of teams in the past have had the strategy of don't wake him up, don't hit him, don't trash talk him and whatever you do don't piss him off. I suspect a lot of players out east here won't be used to playing against Iggy as much and will make that mistake a few times through out the playoffs. Then you are all in for a real treat
