This Pittsburgh Penguins Act is Getting Old

Will the fans support a rebuild

I think the majority of us already are. Trading Jake for futures, taking on bad contracts in Hayes and Glass for picks. We're not that delusional that we don't know that means not contending anymore.

The Peinguins should trade Crosby, Malkin, Karlson, Letang, Jarry ,Rust,Rakell,Bunting and rebuilt. They could receive Many first round picks and good prospects.

Crosby is the captain and deserves the right to go down with the ship if he chooses to do so.

Best thing would be to ask (not force) him if he'd be okay with a trade, and go from there.

If he says yes, you ask him where to. If he says no, then you try to win until he retires.

Dubas wants/needs high draft picks. The current roster should accomplish that goal.

I think Crosby has already made it pretty clear that he wants to be a Penguin for life.

We should have a standard "Pittsburgh are so old that ______" thread instead.

I'll start: Pittsburgh are so old their fanbase is now excited over players named McGruggerty and Blomqvist.

Why is Sullivan still coaching this team?

Theyve gotten their cheeks absolutely clapped by contending teams this year.

Will the fans support a rebuild

Many of the fans encourage it. It's not 1999 anymore. Ownership is not broke and we don't need our captain to buy the team.

Because Dubas is the poster boy for moneyball image when they rebuild, he is management and not running things

I think you are exaggerating the response because I assume you are a Kyle Dubas hater / Toronto fan based on the username.

Penguins fans were largely incredibly whatever about his summer with the majority opinion being happy they were “rebuilding” finally.

Yea right.
They missed the play offs by a point.
So that summer they acquire a bunch of 30 year olds including Karlsson the Norris trophy winner. Rielly Smirh, Kars Eller, Graves, Accaria. To make the pjay offs.....that was not a GM in rebuild.
And btw ......who the f#@& adds the current Norris trophy winning Dman and does not improve their team one iota?
Answer - Mike Sullivan

Dubas wants/needs high draft picks. The current roster should accomplish that goal.

This roster will acquire a high draft pick every year for years to come.
But will still draft after the likes of the Habs, Sabres, Ducks, Sharks, and Hawks. Throw the Sens and Caps in their too.

Hockey politician. Has the bosses ear. Shanahan like.

Let's see if he still feels that way if the Pens start missing the play offs ....by Christmas.

You kind of have to feel for Crosby and Malkin. It seems they're working hard and doing whatever they can to carry their team. The team simply isn't very good. Geno and Sid can carry the Penguins to wins over teams like MTL and BUF, but when the Pens go against better teams, they can't stand toe-to-toe.
