2024-2025 Season Random Penguins Fodder

[Pens4Life]

So, I have not come across the interview yet, but in some discussions this weekend, I was informed that, somewhere in a past Dubas press conference he alluded to having DOC staring on the 3rd line with Kevin Hayes. At the end of the season, it seemed like they wanted to give DOC a more permanent top 6 role. If DOC is on the 3rd line, then I would be looking at something like this as the forward setup:

Rakell-Crosby-Rust
Bunting-Malkin-Puustinen
DOC-Hayes-Beauvillier
Eller-Lizotte-Acciari
X-Puljujarvi, Poulin

I wouldnt be surprised to see Beauvillier on Sid's LW.. something like :

Beauvillier - Crosby - Rust
Bunting - Malkin - Puustinen
DOC - Hayes - Rakell
Lizotte - Eller - Acciari

[Dynasty1970]

Beauvillier is not a top line guy..........He has only played in 60 games total over the last three years. This is our path to the rebuild on the fly? This 5'11" 180 lb guy is going to help pad Crosby's stats. Good Grief!

From my vantage point I would just say...I'd be hesitant to throw him on the top line with the struggles he has had in recent years. We haven't given the young guys top 6 minutes until they've earned it. Same should be the case here. I'd be surprised if 1LW is Beauvillier's opening night spot. Also doesn't help Rakell's trade value to push him down to the 3rd line. Rakell has been kind of up and down year over year in his career, and was reportedly dealing with a shoulder injury for the good part of the year. I'm suspecting he'll bounce back a bit this year.

The lineup is screaming for a top 6 W. Preferably LW. Dubas knows this. I'm sure he's on the hunt for one. If we believe the rumors that we had an offer out for Tarasekno that further proves the point.

[Toke]

I know it's a reach and the guy is a chandelier, but I wouldn't be upset if they somehow were able to get Laine in here.

I'll take the opposite stance. I think Tarasenko was a wild dart throw that he knew was unlikely to land, but he gave it a shot. There's a strong possibility that this could be our starting lineup for the season:

Rakell-Crosby-Rust
Bunting-Malkin-Puustinen
DOC-Hayes-Beauvillier
Eller-Lizotte-Acciari

In this case...where's the commitment to youth? DOC has rightfully earned a spot with his play. You add a top 6 resource, you are then pushing Puustinen out of the lineup...and you've already got Puljujarvi and Poulin sitting out of the lineup....and no chance for a Ponomarev or Koivunen type to make the lineup. Can't keep talking youth and then keep bringing in guys to shove them out of the lineup.

As much as it sucks, I think this is another throw away year. Sell off players at the deadline, be as competitive as we can be with what we have today, and be ready for next year. Gain more picks for a deep draft next year. A good year by Pickering in the AHL could have him making the jump next season. A good half season in the AHL by Yager could have him making the jump next season. Blomqvist should be in the conversation next year. I think one or two of Ponomarev, Koivunen, and Broz could be in the conversation for jobs next year. If 3 of those guys are ready for NHL duty, that's a lot of cheap cap space, and gives us the ability to sign some UFAs to short term deals at more money.

The only chance I see Dubas making another significant move before camp, is if a deal comes up for a guy like Robertson or Wahlstrom, or another younger player from a cap crunched team that needs to make a move. Otherwise, I think this is the team.

I agree. It's frustrating in the short run to go into the season with clear deficiencies in the roster and not much hope of doing anything in the playoffs, but I think it's the right move longer term. If Crosby re-signs for 3 years, aim for giving him a good, young supporting cast for that last year or two. Keep the draft picks and cap space for now.

Yeah,he is not top 6 guy, but we are talking about coach Sullivan here lol.. anything is possible! I would prefer some of the younger guys there or just leave DOC on Sids LW.

Pens goalie situation ranked 30 out of 32: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/564647 ... e-jackets/

Here’s how this will work. We’ve given each of the 32 teams a ranking in three categories: Current goaltending ... Future prospects ... Cap and contracts

Current: 27

Granger: The floor for the Penguins’ goaltending is higher than several of the teams above them on this list. Tristan Jarry and Alex Nedeljkovic are proven commodities, but I just don’t see a ceiling for any goalie in the organization to become a difference-maker in the next three years unless AHL standout Joel Blomqvist makes a big leap.

Future: 18

Wheeler: Blomqvist was one of the better young goalies in the AHL last year and one of the better young goalies in Finland before that. Sergei Murashov is one of the better young goalies in Russia, too. Between those two, the Pens have two strong goalie prospects. I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Taylor Gauthier even if he’s more of a No. 4 in the end as well.

Cap: 30

McIndoe: Jarry has four years left at $5.375 million, a major gamble that’s on shaky ground right now. With Nedeljkovic at $2.5 million through 2026, that means the Penguins are on the hook for almost $8 million for each of the next two seasons for goaltending that might not even be league average.

Don't want to sound like a homer, and I don't think Jarry is great but, this just seems like a very odd way to rank goaltending depth of an organization.

Problem #1: You're really ranking Toronto, Washington, Carolina and Chicago ahead of Pittsburgh in terms of current goaltending? Really???
--Toronto has a career backup in Stolarz, and a middle-aged prospect who has 36 career starts...and they are ranked AHEAD of Pittsburgh???
--Washington has Lindgren and Thompson. Lindgren has been good, and so has Thompson...but not lights out. They also have 8 combined playoff games.
--Carolina I don't have a huge argument with...but it's also not like Andersen and Kochetkov are night and day better than Jarry/Ned. Plus, Andersen is 34. If their "current" evaluation is supposed to look at the next 3 years, Andersen will be 37. But sure, ok.
--Chicago...Mrazek and Brossoit over Jarry and Ned? Really???

I don't think I even need to get into other consistencies after that.

Great points. I would look at Pittsburgh's current goaltending as middle of the road. Nothing to get excited about, but more than capable of being playoff worthy. Where I get cautiously optimistic is the state of our goaltending prospects. I think between Blomqvist and Murashov, we have at least one starting caliber guy who could be a top 10 NHL goaltender, or at least what Jarry has been—minus the playoff fumbles. Who knows? Murashov could turn out to be another Sorokin, which would be a boon.

I agree this is definitely a transition year. I would think that both Eller and Acciari could/would/should get moved if one or two of the younger players are ready this season. I'm personally not a big Pussti fan. I don't think he should be locked into the lineup. I would add a top 6 via trade (either older for cheap or younger player for cheap) and let the kids battle out the 4th line. Lizotte should be the only given on the 4th line.

Speaking of Puustinen, the 2nd line may be a bit high for him. I think a 3rd line of DOC-Hayes-Puustinen is pretty realistic. One wildcard, and it's a not very exciting one, is Bemstrom. If given a spot on a scoring line with better passes coming his way, could he get hot and do some damage? i.e. as a 3rd wheel on a line with Malkin and Bunting. I lean toward no, but it is something to consider when penciling in these prospective lineups.

Needs a top 6. If we could get Laine that would really change the lineup. But I don't think we will be trading assets for players. Transition year...No wonder why Sid is taking his time signing the extension!

Pens goalie situation ranked 30 out of 32: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/564647 ... e-jackets/

Here’s how this will work. We’ve given each of the 32 teams a ranking in three categories: Current goaltending ... Future prospects ... Cap and contracts

Current: 27

Granger: The floor for the Penguins’ goaltending is higher than several of the teams above them on this list. Tristan Jarry and Alex Nedeljkovic are proven commodities, but I just don’t see a ceiling for any goalie in the organization to become a difference-maker in the next three years unless AHL standout Joel Blomqvist makes a big leap.

Sergei Murashov is one of the better young goalies in Russia, too. Between those two, the Pens have two strong goalie prospects. I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Taylor Gauthier even if he’s more of a No. 4 in the end as well.

Cap: 30

McIndoe: Jarry has four years left at $5.375 million, a major gamble that’s on shaky ground right now. With Nedeljkovic at $2.5 million through 2026, that means the Penguins are on the hook for almost $8 million for each of the next two seasons for goaltending that might not even be league average.

I had very similar thoughts. Especially with some of the teams ranked higher like Toronto, Wash, even Philly. I'm not sure these guys are really all that knowledgeable about the prospects at the least. Will be curious to see numbers 10-1 - I assume that will be out tomorrow.

[largegarlic]

I know it's a simplistic metric, but looking at team save percentage, the Pens were exactly in the middle of the league last year in 16th place at .903. While it's not good to be paying so much for average goal tending, it seems harsh to knock them back all the way to 30th due to that, especially when it's acknowledged that they have a few pretty good prospects too.

Kevin Hayes speaks: https://pittsburghhockeynow.com/kevin-h ... otivation/

“I just didn’t really fit into their plan, I guess. It’s definitely an ego shock when you go on two teams in two years,” Hayes said. “(I’m) a pretty confident person. I’ve been in the league for a pretty long time. I’ve had successful seasons. I know what I need to do to make sure my game works in this league, and I think I’ll have a good opportunity in Pittsburgh to do that. I think instead of it being an ego shot, I’ll use it more as motivation to show those two teams that I can still play and produce in this league.”
