@ jesselvis
And……. with that Dynasty thing being a tough reach – it takes more than just a few 1sts and 2nds – there are the players like Talbot, Kennedy, Letang, Goligoski, and others in the stream like Sneep, Strait,Jeffery,Veilleux, Pierro-Zabotel, Grant, Tangradi all who which should grow into the team. Adding the finishing touches like Shero is doing without major length contracts is mart play by one of the yougest GM’s in the NHL. This kids are growing up together with a farm system where they are under the guidence of the Pens not just some place to let them play.
I agree with HOOK – first you actually have to win something before that dynasty tag gets assigned but I also agree with you it’s nice being at the front of all of this. Things are looking good.

Let’s go Pens!

How about “brain-cramps” McPhee (LMAO) losing what appears to be 2/3′s of his first line (Fedorov & Kozlov) to the KHL!

Re Hook: **I don’t think their will ever be dynasty teams like the Oilers or Islanders anymore because of the salary cap.** You would think that, but you would also think that in this day and age no team we get 2 #1 picks and 2 #2 picks in 4 years. With 30 teams, do you realize the odds of that? It is a known fact that players will play for the good teams for less just to win. It’s coming, and your welcome to be a pessimistic about it as you like, but it’s coming. I’m with stev-o good read!

CAP MANAGEMENT GONE WRONG is what happened to many teams Boston was unable to make a move and bringing in Recchi while he performed above expectations but even with that they traded off Matt Lashoff a 2005 1st round pick. They will lose the dead weight Manny Fernandez but have major decisions to make signing Kessel and Krejci. The Rangers have to find a way to clean up Glenn Sather’s horrible contracts. Philadelphia has 5 players making more than $5 million and don’t have a goaltender. Salary cap restrictions kept Washington playing players with broken feet on defense! Long live all the GM’s who should be wearing dunce caps! They are our friends.

I think the most offensive oriented team Guerin played for was the Stars. Unless he’s counting Olyimpics, then that was a big compliment. One thing this team has that the cup team didn’t is the core group of player being the same age. I hope Ray Shero doesn’t start breaking things up at the drop of a hat, the way Ottawa broke up their incredibly talented team.

Plus you’ve got to love the fact that we have some great talent coming up through the minors. I believe Lovejoy had the top plus/minus in the AHL.
