They can go either way. EK is certainly an upgrade on the RD for Petry but
Graves will be a downgrade from Dumoulin. Its going to come down to the play of Jarry and health of Crosby, Malkin and Letang.
Has Jarry ever shown himself to be a truly “good” NHL goalie? I just don’t know why I’m supposed to buy into the fact that he’s going to be anything more than a .910-.920 save percentage goaltender sitting behind a team that isn’t really slated to give up any less chances (based on how they’re constructed) than the previous handful of years.
Dubas did what ownership wanted to do. Ie continue what I consider a “charade” for another year to bring back the Penguins glory days.
I don’t think Mike Sullivan is a good coach. I don’t think Jarry is any better than an average goaltender. They still aren’t strong defensively (long been that team’s weakness) and they are the oldest team in the league.
I don’t see how they are any closer to a Cup this year than last year. All they did was add more of what they didn’t need.
