Ok, if there are any Pens fans out there, where do we go from here? Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Kessel are all 32-33 years old. Do we try to make one more run or start the rebuild now ? ? ?
I think the rebuild needs to start with the coach. For some reason he is the common denominator on a few trades of some talented guys...…......Reaves and Cole for two, and rumor was Kessel almost got it last year.
As far as shopping players.........……..Letang needs to go. Duct tape Maatta to his arm when you ship him out. Crosby is going nowhere. Malkin missed 14 games and had as many points as Kuznetsov did this year. Kessel tied his 2nd best ever points total and was 25th in the NHL...……..tied with Eichel and ahead of Toews, Pastrnak, Seguin, Bergeron and a whole bunch of other "big points guys" and future Hall of Famers.
