Quoting: Jmcp
On a totally unrelated notes, what is going on in Pitt to trade every decent prospect they have? It's like you are proud of having nothing in the pipeline.
thats kind of exactly the point.
Basically, when 2022 hits the following things happen:
1. Sid and letang will be 35 and geno will be 36
2. Geno's contract ends he he probably goes to russia
3. Letangs contract end and he is likely gone as well
4. our goalies will not be RFA anymore
5. Rust and Kapanens team friendly deals end
6. we have no first round picks in the next 2 years (Zucker and Kapanen)
weve got 2 years and its all or nothing. It is a MUST that we give it everything weve got while Sid the Kid is still playing, this is pittsburghs legacy right here.
The plan is simple, It's ride or die with this core, and when it comes time to "die" in 2022, we want to fall hard and fast. dont get stuck in mediocrity, fall right to the bottom and rebuild hard with super early first round picks
