Listen to Dubas press conference made playoffs ,not going backwards have cap space Rust,Rakell,Karlsson going no where ,watch
Crosby announced going to continue playing .Adding upside mid to late 20 players Young players coming up Murashov,Brunicke,McGroarty others not ready as Dubas stated Malkin blocking knowone.That would make young players Kindel,Murashov,Chinakova,Soderblom,Brunicke,McGroarty thats enough,And Dubas adding young 2nd line Center between Chinakova Malkun put Novak with Kindel Mcgroarty 3rd line Shane Wright From Seattle
I think Shea and Brunicke would be good 3rd pairing
Kovinen nono had lots chances does notscore not physical enough just BLAH
Or watch Ellias Petterson C Vancover trade only 27 lots cap space Kindel not ready to be 2nd line center They owe Sid a chance at a Cup run over next couple years Dubas said press conference we have work to do
