Off season moves

So what will the Pens do to prepare for next year? Anybody think big changes will come? Would YOU move players? I have some ideas, what do you think???

Well, Letang certainly doesn't have to work on his diving. He's got that down to an art. Fleury will be better, he's not that bad of a goalie. You guys are in the same boat as Philly as far as D is concerned...we need some physical guys who actually play defence.

You can hammer Letang for it all you want but your team has it's share as well. Simple fact is Letang is an all-star defenseman. I really like Michalek and Orpik too, though neither of them showed up much in the playoffs against your boys. They just didn't look themselves. Engelland played to his level which admittedly isn't top two but he's a solid #4 guy I think. I have to think Fleury was tired. He didn't look himself either, and played a career high in games which may have been the reason. Martin = huge disappointment in a Pens uniform. You guys have Grossman who is solid, but no game breaking defenseman. I don't think much of Kubina, Meszaros, or Timmonen, and Pronger is way past his day. You have Coburn though, and I like/despise him. If we had him I'd like him. He had a great series against us I thought.

Letang IS a great player. I just can't stand all his drama. The head snaps everytime someone goes near him. The dives. Carcillo was like that, and i was embarrassed for him.

Timonen is still good when not worn out. One more year on his contract, but his best is definately behind him. Meszaros is a good player, heck, he was our best defenceman before he got injured.
