Graves being dogshit is actually gonna be helpful in the last couple years of his deal. Great work Dubas, write up another extension for Sully.

Mcg rated well in the other one of these this preseason too. Preseason but he looks solid.

Blomqvist is 100% the #3.
The #4 gets murky. It depends on if Larsson is going back to Europe. He's getting an extended look this camp and has done very well.
If he does, then Gauthier would backup in Wilkes, I'd imagine.
Yeah I'm pretty sold on him being 4th line quality. Doesn't take much in the NHL these days.

At least he's consistent.
Consistently shit, but hey it counts for something.

Takes at least a $2 mill cap hit to be on our 4th line.

I think Larsson sits in the #3 spot actually, with how they see things I'm guessing. Which isn't a slight to someone like Blomqvist.
It's probably something like:
1. Jarry
2. Nedeljkovic
3. Larsson
4. Blomqvist
5. Murashov
6. Gauthier
I think if he's slotted for the 4th line, I'd rather have him in WBS in that situation. This isn't like Jake the year he got his call up and spent time in the top 6 and with Cullen, that was a team that had just won the cup before and Jake got that opportunity after being insane in WBS. I'd like that same start for Rutger, so as not to ruin the lad immediately.
This is a non-playoff team that was trending towards it before it missed for consecutive seasons for the first time in Crosby's career. I don't think there's any rush to see what he can do immediately. Also WBS is going to be deep with young talent and having him there playing with other young talent would be good for him as well.

Puljujärvi played very well on Edmonton top-6 for parts of two seasons after his first (minor) hip surgery. Then his hip problems returned and he got the major surgery done. He now seems to be approaching the level of play he was capable in the past. He may surprise some people next season and become a middle six forward, he has all the tools.

Possible. We'll find out soon.
What I found interesting is that they sent Murashov down to Wilkes. Thought he'd be going back to Russia. So how many goalies they gonna have?

I still don't understand why he was a priority to lock up for so long in free agency. Like, I'd have understood if it was a shorter term deal (2 years or less), but to lock him up for that long? Made no sense from the start.

Just imagine, if this is Graves at his peak, what is he going to look like in 3 years?
He'll carry us to the 1st overall pick

They wouldn't have signed Murashov to an ELC if he were just going to go back to Russia.
We currently have six goalies signed to contracts who could play in the NHL this season.

They signed him so he would be reporting to wbs given that. Only way he goes back is if the Penguins loan him.

Let's Go Pens
Hopefully the 2026 1st overall!!!

I get the sense that Hayes is being eyed for that 3C spot. It'd be interesting to see them roll out Eller above him.
He had a bad shoulder injury basically all season. Even given that, after he returned in December he was producing from that point on at a 50pt pace. That's very good for a player with 1 normally functioning arm.

I went to the game last night and the arena was at like 1/3 capacity. Likely due to the Lions game.
But I get a sense of uneasiness from Wings fans, even prior to this game. They don't have a guy that can truly tilt the ice.
Also, my only takeaway from last night's game is Graves is absolutely horrendous. We're talking JJ and Scuderi level bad. This dude cannot be be 1 of the regular 6. Bad things happen when he's on the ice...he's brutal and sinking this team.

“The existential issue for Pittsburgh, though, is that the old guys aren’t just the best players on the roster — they’re perilously close to being the only good ones. They combine for a plus-37 Net Rating. Overall (as in, including them), the Penguins are at a minus-2, a year-over-year 19-point decline. That’s easy, ugly math. Drilling it down a bit more, there are three Penguins other than the four Hall of Famers projected at a positive Net Rating: Bryan Rust, Michael Buntingand Marcus Pettersson. That’s simply not enough to win meaningful games.”
