Mike Sullivan's Important Role with Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins possess a top nine depth chart at forward that should be able to compete with anyone in the National Hockey League (NHL) during the 2015-2016 season.

The question remains, as it has for the last six years, can this team remain healthy.

Once a dominoe falls, so goes the enviable position the Penguins see themselves in, leaving the General Manager left to patch things up with mud and sticks instead of brick and mortar.

That's life in the NHL's salary cap era, a change this franchise hasn't adjusted to well since winning the 2009 Stanley Cup.
