Jarry on the bench for the opener. Muse seems to have some real balls when it comes to lineup decisions, something we’ve lacked for years.
Guess worth remembering that Sullivan had balls with lineup when he first got here too and lost them overtime. Muse will probably go the same way just like every other coach but for now it’s refreshing
Good moves all around. Takes balls to burry a multi-million dollar contract but it’s absolutely the right call. Guys going down to the A will be back sooner rather than later besides Pickering who’s currently not making the most of his opportunities. Kindle and Brunicke have earned a reward and the only way to reward them is to keep them with the big club since they can’t go to the A. I think if Dumba can serviceably play on the left side, Brunicke spends the year here. Kindle isn’t physically mature yet so I’d be shocked if he stays up, but he sure looks excellent for where he should be in his development. For all the bitching and moaning about that pick, he looks like a good one
Getting a bit disappointed on how long it’s taking this website to not become a janky mess. It’s a chore to use and it’s keeping me off the boards
Def glad one of the goalies are gone. Blommer can backup, or possibly start when Jarry goes off the rails and murashov will start in the A. I guess we don’t have too many ppl ready to make the jump to the big leagues but all these random little signings seem to be more roadblocks.
Feels like the Russian is closer at this juncture but I expect both to get a chance sooner rather than later. I don’t think Jarry is long for this team one way or another. Either he preforms and gets traded or he flops and get buried down the depth chart. Dubas has already shown a willingness to send him down.
Brazeau seems like a legitimate NHL caliber 4th liner at a massive 6’6 from the stats. Apparently has a knack for generating net front high danger chances which is a good trait for a 4th line winger that may not necessarily excel a sinking the difficult shots.
It’s funny… I wanted the team to get bigger for years just like grinder. However, I wanted those guys to also be good players lol. Jesse Marshall had some good things to say about a few of our draft picks. IMO, he’s one of the best Pens analysts. I have to admit, I was a bit bummed originally with our picks because none of the “insiders” mentioned any of the players we picked. Obviously, it’s such a crap shoot.
Yeah it seems like analysts that do real deep dives into prospects are much higher on our draft than the major talking heads whose job more revolves around surface level stuff about well known names.
As I’ve said all along, I know dick about NHL draft prospects. If I didn’t spend time reading about Martone, McQueen, OBrien, Bear, and Eklund before the draft and just read Marshall’s reviews blind without preconceived biases, I’d be pretty happy with our outcome.
