Don’t the Devils still have Weekes?

Pensburgh is content???

With landing Mike Rupp, they addressed the growing physicality of the other Atlantic teams (ESPECIALLY the Flyers) … but their defense is REALLY gonna miss Scuderi. I mean, they have some smooth skaters and passers in Gonchar, Letang, and Goligoski, but the remaining defensemen are Orpik (OK), Eaton (barely OK), and some no-name dudes filling roster spots. They desperately need a top-4 defenseman with some grit, and I really can’t name any that are still FAs. If the Flyers have solid defense and goaltending (as I expect they will) the Pens are in rough straits.

Clarification

They are content with losing Garon, happy to lose Gill, and ok with losing Scuderi. Yeah, Scuderi is a loss, and he stepped up big in the playoffs, but he’s a marginal top-4 guy and wasn’t worth them spending $3 million per year on. They could use another big defenseman, but it’s not like they have a huge hole on their D. Orpik is a serviceable #2 – and an excellent #4 – so they only really need a marginal 4 and they’ll be fine.

Dubinsky

I really liked what I saw of Dubinsky a less offensively talented Mike Richards type hopefully the Rangers will lose him at only 23 he still can get better. Callahan and Zherdev are going to cost even more. Names > Young Talent in NYC.

NHL.com reported PENS have signed our Nate Guenin my pick for our 7th D-man. But without Hold Gill they probably wouldn’t have one the cup my bet is not that Crosby has won the NHL will stop giving the Pens all the calls they will finish like 11th in the East. (exaggeration and anger intended)

Devils are always good regardless of their lineup, coach or even goalie I don’t get it. At least Gionta is gone I hated watching a 5ft 6in guys stand in front of the net on the PP and score big numbers that is why the Knubles are other slow skating power fowards are few and far between in the “new” NHL, as Yoda once said “size matters not”.

I refuse to comment on the Islanders they suck until proven otherwise.

Fedetenko - Knuble

I like how Rusty Fedetenko takes a pay cut and signs just a one year deal with the Pens, after just one season with that club, yet Mike Knuble wouldn’t sign a one year deal with Flyers after 4 seasons with Flyers. Thanks for nothing Mike.

The Difference

Fedotenko won a Cup during his one year in Pittsburgh.

Knuble has won 2 playoff rounds during four years here.

I’m sure Noobs would have done the same for us if we won the Cup, but we didn’t.

Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?

Knuble said he wanted to sign with the Flyers but the “deals” they were offering him were basically insulting. I bet he could have been had for 2.6 @ 2 years I just don’t think the Flyers could afford that.
