Penguins trim the roster down ahead of back-to-back preseason games!

[@PENS68]

I really want to see what Erik Karlsson does on the PP this year with David Quinn running it. We saw how successful Karlsson was in San Jose two years ago when Quinn was his head coach. While I don't expect a 100 point season, I do expect a really big year from EK, given the familiarity of having Quinn as his head coach and also given the fact that David Quinn does have a good track record of working with elite defenseman and developing younger ones. Remember, he also really helped Adam Fox's development with the New York Rangers.

Sid DOC Rusty Geno Bunting Raks Hayes Beauvillier Pulijarvi Lizotte Eller Acciari/Glass

Puljujarvi, Puustinen, Glass, Acciari, etc. Eller, Lizotte, or Hayes. McGroarty and Beauvillier. The Pens have way to many similar players competing for the same spots. This is going to be interesting how this plays out for the roster.

In the Hockeyville game I would put RM with Sid just to expose him to a little meaningless pressure Doc 3rd line with Hayes and JP ( a big physical line with some scoring touch) I dont envy Sully at this point the bottom 6 looks so much better this year, the tough part is going to be finding out who fits where on what night

[@garrettcooper79]

Hey, dress 13 forwards and 5 D (leave Shea or Aho behind), and let McG move around the lines.

[@bryanelliott6662]

Puljujarvi and glass are the only 2 bubble roster players who deserve a chance. I like mcgroarty but he doesnt look quite ready for nhl yet. You guys are right. Hayes, beauvillier and lizotte are going to play on nhl roster. I dont see a prospect quite ready yet. Bottom 6 should be much improved on paper. Hopefully it translates to the ice this season

[@codedecode878]

yeah, i'm starting to get nervous about letting Yeager go for McGroarty.

[@garycorle250]

If Sulley gets his way the youngsters will be gone by the weekend, he's more than comfortable playing as many as the good ole boys that he can, he has little interest breaking in new kids.

[@neilenglish8582]

They have 12 guys for 4 spots...the decision on the young guys was made long ago...

[@KyleFunk21]

We haven’t had a young guy worth NHL ice time in 7+ years lol If the young guys don’t earn a spot… They don’t. Deserve. A spot… this narrative is insane. The young guys that are worth a shit, are all getting a shot at NHL ice this pre-season. In 15-16 and 16-17 when Rust and Guentzel came up, they both played a slew of games in the AHL before making the roster in their respective seasons.. Yall need to chill with this “Sullivan doesn’t play young guys” stuff😂 Just because they’re young, doesn’t mean they deserve NHL ice.
