nossagog Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 With rumors of the Pens shopping Ian Cole, and him being a health scratch again last night against the Flyers(this is like three games straight), I wonder if the Pens have a formal offer working and are holding him out to prevent injury? http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/13004773-74/penguins-seeking-to-trade-defenseman-ian-cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the rationale but then...what happens to the D? Chad Ruhwedel is now in your top 6. Yikes. The depth chart cupboard is pretty bare after that, too. Not what you want when your #1 goalie just went down. Almost makes another deadline deal for depth on D a foregone conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that's were the Pens are headed! They have to give up some things to get a descent return! Let's hope J.R. makes the correct decisions!

And they may feel they can get more now than at the deadline as his value is high now. Go with the guys we have for the first season, and make a deal for the second season.

nossagog Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Well with SHultz now on the IR and Sullivan saying he'll probably be out a couple of weeks, I think that Ian Cole will stay in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
