Marc-Andre Fleury won't be here tonight.
Neither will be Chris Kunitz
Or Trevor Daley.
Or Matt Cullen. Or Ron Hainsey, Or Nick Bonino.
Oskar Sundqvist will be though.
While the several key parts of the Penguins' 2017 Stanley Cup championship squad won't get to directly witness the banner ceremony to commemorate the championship, Sundqvist will be present for the occasion. He described the chance to be here as “special” following today's morning skate.
Primarily a spectator to the Penguins' Stanley Cup runs the past two seasons, Sundqvist was seen as a key part of the franchise's future, particularly with Bonino and Cullen each becoming unrestricted free agents this past offseason.
