Lines for Saturday vs EDM

Might be able to get a 2nd or a 4th and prospect for him. He has some positive value. I do agree he will end up being the odd man out. Jack Johnson contract would be very hard to move without giving up and major part of the penguins future. He’s also not playing to bad that. He seems to be the teams punching bag (from the media)

Spot on. Bjugstad could be used to get some more depth at defense now that gudbranson is gone. Can never have enough of that. Johnson is also the punching bag for every nitwit pens fan on this site.

Bjugstad and Hornqvist seem to be banged up a lot. Probably best to hold onto both of them in case of injuries. Both of them can really play anywhere among the lineup and booster whatever line they are playing on (obviously Hornqvist can't play center but you get my point). The young guys came in and played really well, but none of them can anchor a line the way these guys can. No moves is the best move, another injury will occur at some point, and don't mess with hot lines.

I don't think Hornqvist can anchor a line anymore, i haven't seen him do much of anything aside from PP time and time with Crosby

Johnson is the punching bag for good reason, while yes he hasn't been bad, he is still overpaid (see Ryan Suter, you can still be a good hockey player and be overpaid) and has more term than I'm comfortable with any bottom pairing d man at his age, and tbf he is our 7th best d man rn... Riikola-Marino was an absolutely amazing pairing vs Dallas, and they deserve a chance to stay together
