Vanflyer Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'm hoping Bortuzzo becomes the next guy in that role. And Depres is Niskanen's. Can Bortuzzo stay healthy? For Depres, you are putting allot on a young d-mans plate, but if you think he can handle it, ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bortuzzo hasn't had any injury issues. Depres is ready for a 5-6 role. Maybe more if he can get some ice time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanflyer Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Bortuzzo hasn't had any injury issues. Ok, again you would know better than me. I am just looking at the numbers: 2013/2014- gp 54 (big pens) 2012/2014- gp 46 (15 big pens, 31 little pens) 2011/2012- gp 57 (6 big pens, 51 little pens) 2010/2011- gp 79 (little pens) 2009/2010- gp 75 (little pens) 2008/2009- gp 23 (kitchener rangers) So, in six seaons, he has only played two full seasons. Whats the story there?? Is he riding pine?? if so, I wouldn't think you would want him as part of your solution. He is not a young chicken anymore (25) and has yet to play a complete season at the NHL level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris922 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Or another lame pick by Shero? I don't think so. Shero was pretty good overall. And Depres is pretty well thought of by all but Bylsma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 @Polaris922 I like Despres...thought we were talking Bortuzzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B21 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I still don't see how people are calling the Pens cap situation * that * bad. No -$14,000,000 is not alot - if you are filling top 6 forward spots or top 4 defenceman spots. That's not what the Pens are doing.... Kunitz/Crosby/DupuisHornqvist/Malkin/BennettSpaling/Sutter/???Adams/???/??? LetangMartinMaattaScuderiBortuzzoDepres I imagine Depres ends up with a cap hit at or just above his qualifying offer ($850,000). Round it up to $1,000,000. Figure $3,500,000 per for Sutter on a bridge deal? That leaves about $9,000,000 to sign a 6/7 defenceman and 4 3rd/4th line forwards. Or - about $1,800,000 per player. It might be wrong but that would seem to be about the norm for most teams' bottom six. Or is a $4,500,000 4th line center the norm these days?
