Typically, we don’t usually profile seasons of players that end up departing the Penguins during the year. But you can’t tell the story of the 2022-23 Pittsburgh Penguins without looking at these three players who all failed to live up to pre-season hopes and dreams this year.
Teddy Blueger
In last year’s season review, for Blueger’s ideal 2022-23 I wrote:
It’s probably a lot like 2021-22, minus taking a headshot and breaking his jaw. Blueger should flirt again with breaking that elusive 10+ goal barrier, and end up in the 30ish point range if he get a full year in and plays well, which again can make him quite a valuable 10th forward on the team-type.
