Last year at this time fans of the Pittsburgh Penguins were in search of a third line center...And a fourth line center. We all knew trades were coming to add to the team, just a matter of when. They did; in October the Pens added Riley Sheahan and then had to wait until February to be able to pull the trigger and add Derick Brassard.
Looking at the Pittsburgh roster this year, the team is stacked and deep just about everywhere. In net they have three goalies they are comfortable with in the NHL - a bright side of Matt Murray’s injuries at least meant they learned some good things about Casey DeSmith and Tristan Jarry at the NHL level.
