I see you guys picked up Rafaël Harvey-Pinard (RHP for us Habs fans) … I think you guys did good here.
I’m happy for him … good guy.Not a bad winger (3rd line) but he got sidetracked with injuries over the last 2 years so he was passed by in the Habs hierarchy of prospects.
His numbers looked good in the 2022/2023 NHL season. His AHL numbers since then aren’t where’d you’d like to see them.

I would love Ehlers for the same reason, to shake at TDL and get more draft capital. He’s not going to sign for only 1 season, though. Ehlers, or no Ehlers, this team probably isn’t going to be in the bottom 5 of league standings, this upcoming season IMO.
I don’t think they should sign anyone else. They should try to keep a roster spot or two to allow the AHL guys an avenue to get some experience and go back down for more AHL games if needed. If they keep signing guys, they’ll all be stuck in the AHL again. Not saying they need to be with the big club all season, but I’d prefer to give them flavors of the show and send them back if they aren’t ready.
Pens need to be sinking near the bottom of the standings so definitely don’t go after Ehlers lol hopefully they ship out EK and one of Rust/Rakell for more assets. Hell they should ship out both Rust and Rakell but who knows if they’d do that.

I’d be surprised if any of Rust, EK or Rak are Pens after the TDL. Agree on the tank. If not for Sid, this team would be bottom 3 this year.

I know the Pens are currently 23/23 roster contracts…maybe even 24/23 now with Mantha signed, but this will probably change with trades and also some guys will probably hit waivers/get sent down in camp.
Still some decent names on this list. I would like one year deals for guys like Orlov, Olofsson, Roslovic, Kuznetsov and more on this list to be able to get more draft capital at TDL. I would love Ehlers but he’s probably going to want a lot for a long time and that doesn’t really fit the Pens right now.

Hopefully he performs really well, and stays healthy, so we can ship him off for a decent pick at the TDL.
