This 2019 - 2020 Pens Team would be Unstoppable, a Perfect Cap Team, with Crazy Depth, & a Shart ton of Prospects / Picks to be great for a long long time.
- Also our prospects or our AHL team would be too. (Prospects listed on I.R. List)
Top Line of : Guentzel59 - Goat87 - Barzal13 *would be the best line in the history of Hockey
2nd Line of : Forsberg9 - Geno71 - Rusty17 * Just seriously GTFOH w/ this Top 6
3rd Line of : McCanner16 - Hintz24 - Rakell67 *3rd line, could be a 1st line - Rakell = Kesell - I love 67's game -
4th Line of : Tanev33 - Coleman20 - Horny72 *Best 3B line in Hockey & most hated line ever.
Top Pair of : Dumo8 - Letang58 *Perfect Top Pairing
2nd Pair of : McCabe19 - Pesce22 *Im a McCabe fan (smart player on bad team) & love Pesce's game
3rd Pair of : Pettersson28 - Marino6 *Best 3rd pair
Goalie #1 : Jarry35 / Murray30 *Jarry has been scary good, still have faith in Murr's
AHL Goalie Depth : DeSmith1 *Should be a back-Up still
Young Goalies : Hill31 / Werner32 *IMO, Hill is a future NHL starter

Love the detail of this ACGM. You really know your stuff! Only thing I hold say is that you could get more for the Parayko to VGK trade. Maybe get Cody Glass as well.

Thanks , I actually started to have too many prospects towards the end & why I just kept trading for picks, lol
This took me like an hr per day for like 10 days to do Part 1 & Part 2
Tell me what u think
That’s incredible knowledge of pens history. Hindsight is way better than 20/20. Awesome and obviously took a lot of work. Great job. Very sound logically although in the moment of those situations, the pens front office couldn’t see the future...but for a hindsight post...15 out of 10. Really good stuff. Top-10 ACGM I’ve seen simply because of detail and no ridiculously illogical Marner/Lafreniere trades. Lol.
You can’t expect to win cups with Sheary on your team.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but we did win with Sheary in ‘16 and ‘17.
Sheary isn’t the problem. He was here for a short period this year and may not be next year. The pens future success or failure will not ride entirely on his shoulders or Dominik Simon’s either. They are bottom-6 pieces.

Do they do better than the 2 cups they won?
Because the team is totally ruined come the off season. They are in pure cap hell.
Given the time it takes to piece the team together, like you wouldn't have had Marino till this year. etc..
20/20 as they say.
Lot of talent they lost though. But if they had kept it, we'd be making serious decisions right now like Do we trade Malkin to keep Barzal.

I think this team wins 2-3 more Cups for sure with all this talent and depth.
- I have a 20'-21' - Part 2 with this too. Showing how I'd trade Horny & Coleman .... Plus the rediculous amount of Prospects I had... I had to trade for picks bc I had so many good prospects...
I included Marino for the 6th Rdr bc I traded Parayko before 19-20 season.
Also have Centers - B. Hayton coming - I think the kid is going to be a great #2 Center
this is crazy stuff, but super cool to see how it could've turned out. Obviously we're not gonna get every pick 100% perfect, but to see what this team could be if we just landed on a few more picks is something else. Also these trades aren't lobsided at all and make a bit of sense.
Still kills me today that we traded the Barzal pick for Perron,

Thank You, It took me like an hour a day, for like 10 or so days to do Part 1 & Part 2..... It was a challenge to keep under cap & stay kind of fair.
