Our Buccos Can’t Get a Break

As I’ve shared on several occasions, I was a huge baseball fan as a kid, long before I discovered hockey. I still recall the sense of anticipation I’d get each spring while awaiting each new season. To say nothing of collecting a fresh batch of Topps baseball cards (and the stale slab of pink bubble gum included in each pack.) Thus, on occasion I feel compelled to write about our Pirates. Although they didn’t win the pennant (they finished third with a record of 92-70), the 1966 Buccos are still

Penguins Andrei Kuzmenko: Mistake or Master Stroke?

Throughout the summer, I’ve questioned some of Kyle Dubas’ moves. None more than signing free-agent forward Andrei Kuzmenko to a one-year contract for $5 million on July 1. I’ve even gone as far as labelling the deal a mistake on a couple of occasions, primarily due to the fact that Kuzmenko’s presence is blocking a roster spot that could’ve gone to a prospect like Rutger McGroarty. However, yesterday afternoon I bumped into PP colleague Caleb DiNatale while working the front desk at Wright’s Gy

How Will the Penguins’ Goaltending Hold Up?

In the wake of Kyle Dubas’ moves this summer, I’ve spend a great deal of time poking at our burgeoning cache of forwards and recast defense in an effort to determine how the Penguins might fare this upcoming season. However, there’s one important area I haven’t delved into yet. Goaltending. How will our goaltending hold up this season? Especially since Dubas allowed established veteran and all-around good-guy Stuart Skinner to depart, in the process committing to a bunch of kid goalies. Perhaps

Taking a Closer Look at the Penguins’ Forwards

For the most part, my take on the changes Kyle Dubas has wrought this summer has been a tad on the negative side. Indeed, to say I haven’t given the Penguins’ POHO/GM much love is a vast understatement. Especially over the way he packed the forward ranks while leaving nary a slot for a deserving kid. That being said, I began to think of our likely forward group in terms of production. You know what? Provided Dubas doesn’t part with any high-profile veterans, we have the potential to score goals.

Will Any of the Penguins’ Kids Become Stars?

About a week ago I posted an article projecting what the Penguins’ lineup might look like in 2028-29. It goes without saying it was loaded with kids. There’s no doubt the Pens have amassed an impressive cache of prospects under Kyle Dubas, in a relatively short time frame to boot. To draw a comparison to an earlier batch of home-grown talent, we would appear to be stocked with plenty of Tyler Kennedy and Max Talbot-types with the likes of Rutger McGroarty, Avery Hayes and Tanner Howe. Just as ob

Penguins Update: No Room at the Inn for the Kids

If you’ve been reading PenguinPoop over the summer, you’ve no doubt picked up on the fact that I’ve had issues with much of Kyle Dubas’ recent work. Chief among them, the way he overstocked the team up front. Indeed, no fewer than 19 forwards who played at least one NHL game last season will be attending training camp. Enough for six forward lines, with a spare skater to boot. Perhaps our POHO/GM intended (and still intends) to trade off a forward or two. Veteran top-sixers Rickard Rakell and Br

Is There a Rationale Behind the Penguins’ New-Look Defense?

With nothing in particular to write about, I thought I’d once again focus on the Penguins’ biggest area of turnover (and potentially, biggest bone of contention). Namely, our defense. No fewer than five defensemen who saw action on the Pens’ blueline last season have departed. That includes two of our top performers, Parker Wotherspoon (traded) and Ryan Shea (free agent). Imported to flesh out our new-look defense are right shots Trevor van Riemsdyk and Kaedan Korczak and portsider Declan Carlil

What Might the Penguins’ Roster Look Like Long-Term?

Anyone who’s been reading PenguinPoop over the summer knows that Kyle Dubas’ recent moves have left me flummoxed, to put it mildly. However, it does occur to me that our POHO/GM must be working to some sort of long-range plan. A plan that most likely involves a heaping helping of our current prospects. With that in mind, I’ve attempted to pull together some sort of depth chart, say circa 2028-29. In order to do that, I’ve made some assumptions. First, our core three of Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang
