Now that the Jason Lafreniere lottery (otherwise known as Phase 2 of the NHL Entry Draft) is past, it’s time for the Penguins to set a course for the coming offseason. (Seems weird to say that in August, but then again there’s nothing normal about these times or this hockey season).
Unfortunately, the Rangers landed the rights to draft Rimouski phenom, denying us the chance to add yet another franchise-type player. Still, it’s hard to cry too much given our extreme good fortune in the past with a couple of guys named Sid and Mario (Geno, too).
