The top-nine forward group for players available in the organization is in, as voted by Pensburgh readers. It’s a very conventional wisdom-y type of group, no major upsets or surprises so far.
Drew O’Connor - Sidney Crosby - Bryan Rust
Michael Bunting - Evgeni Malkin - Rickard Rakell
Anthony Beauvillier - Kevin Hayes - Valtteri Puustinen
There can’t be much argument with the top-six forwards, based on what is on hand at least. The second line finished off the year on a red hot streak together, Crosby+Rust are known quantities together and O’Connor sticks almost by default as the best option available for the left wing.
