Last year the Pens played 2/3 of their season last year without at least 3 of their top 6 defensemen, 5 of them were out at the same time for about two weeks. And over the last three years, they have missed more games from Malkin, Crosby and Staal than they have played with them. Pens still make the playoffs every year. Letang has missed a ton of time also.
This year they have missed a ton of games from Malkin, Letang, Niskanin and Paul Martin.
Yeah, but when D is already a huge weak point, then gets ripped up by injury like that, you can point to it and say that's where they need help. And I also heard yesterday they've been trying to get Bouwmeester and Byfuglin.
no way the Jets trade Byfuglin. At least not without getting a king's ransom in return. And not while they are the #3 seed in the east like they are now.
It should be an interesting offseason. Especially if Philly misses.
They get one buy out, which could be Bryzgalov.
And Buffalo might be ready for a re-build. And Miller rumors have been out there now for a couple years... :pray:
