Various nuggets about the Pittsburgh Penguins: why Daniel Sprong's low icetime isn't unheard of, Olli Maatta should be really good for Kris Letang, Beau Bennett, Marc-Andre Fleury and trade talk continuing.
A couple random thoughts floating around..
#1: A lot of Penguins fans have consternation over the usage - or more accurately the lack of usage - for Daniel Sprong. And it's true that Sprong isn't playing much, just 15 of the team's 27 games so far this season and even when he is playing it's only 9:03 per game, with 8:29 at even-strength.
But, did you know in 2006-07 (on a team that was much thinner), Jordan Staal only played an average of 10:42 per game at even-strength?
