Quoting: Pensfan89
Wutttt? We have a ton of RW’s/guys that play both wings. The reason the pens are open to trading him is because we have an over abundance of guys that can play RW.
Hornqvist, Rust, Sheary, Kessel, Rowney, Kuhnhackl, Sprong just all off the top of the dome. We need a legit top 6 LW, which skinner is but the pens will want more
Hornqvist cannot play LW. He has said early on he can. Every time he has tried, he has been totally ineffective.
Sprong is a RW only. Similar to Hornqvist, he says he has played LW in the past. Other than manning the LW on the PP, ala Phil, Sprong has played nothing but RW at NHL and AHL level.
Rust can play both wings. He is much more effective on RW, however. The dropoff isn't as huge as someone like Phil or Hornqvist, but he does produce more on RW.
Hagelin is exclusively a LW. Never played a RW shift that I have ever seen, with or without the Penguins.
Rowney......should.....not....be....on....this....team.
Kuhnhackl should be 13th forward next year.
