Your not even the third favorite to win your own division... even with Karlsson you are not better than the Hurricanes, Devils, or Rangers

Best team in the league no questions asked

Not when your four best players are all significantly on the wrong side of 30 and not enough speed to keep with the other contenders

Sorry, but a team with an older four best players just broke the regular season points record last year?

Sidney Crosby is Sidney Crosby. He is still king. Erik karlsson just had his best season ever and won the Norris. Malkin is not 2009 malkin obviously but he is still a top 6 center on any team in the league. Letang is still elite and is extreme athlete who isn’t slowing down any time soon. He signed a 6 year deal.

Don’t be a mutt.

Pen fans are crazy today.

Wait till reality hits them.

Watch they'll come on here saying "that pens fans wanted him retained so its different". Except pens fans were also paying more. So already compensates.

Nope. Not favourites.

Well, one of the biggest deals ever for one of the best dmen ever just went down. So yeah…wait until the rest of the leagues fans realizes how screwed they are!

Pure delusion. Hehe

Who cares this is a huge W no matter how you slice it! And now we can still move other pieces to get even better!

This

All four of them are due for significant regression sometime soon... Father time loses to no one. You guys also have no good options in case somebody gets injured given how bad your farm system is. Carolina and New Jersey's defense and top-6 are way better than yours and all of their core players are still in their prime

Not at all pal!

Sidney Crosby and Erik karlsson on the ice together shouldnt even be allowed. They will dominate like no other.

Poor sharks fan is a little salty eh?

Karlsson was a washup before his one great year.

EK65 can easily go back to his 2020-22 form and than yikes !

No the pens have the best D core and top 6 in the league, no doubt.

And yes, Father Time does. But Sidney Crosby, letang, Malkin and karlsson are all elite athletes and have at least 2 more seasons where they will be producing elite level play.

I say pens put up 120+ points, sid wins hart, pens win cup next year.

Crosby, rust, guentzel, letang, karlsson, r.smith, rakell, acciari, and eller are all fast. oconnor, zohorna, t.smith, nylander, and joseph r young and fast too. Malkin doesnt have the acceleration but he still has a good top speed, strength, and good hands to make his way around

That’s not how it works! Karlsson was not washed he played on a crap team and was buried.

The Hurricanes have a better D-Core than the Penguins... Slavin and Burns are one of the best pairings in the league, Orlov is a great addition, Pesce and Skjei are a great shutdown unit that produces a fair amount of offense and Chatfield/TDA are very good 6D options

They might have two years or they might fall of a cliff this season who knows

The Penguins are likely 95-100 points range who lose to a division winner in the first round

Jagr had like 66 pts at 43 years old. It's all a matter of keeping up with training, fitness, diet, and/ or health. Crosby takes that all seriously.

The penguins top 2 pairs are both better than any pair the canes can field. Pens beat canes in round 2 and beat Colorado in SCF.

Come back in 10 months!

Slavin+Burns> any pair on the penguins

Miss the playoffs,

Come back in 10 months.

LOL

I mean one of them might be able to keep it up but it's very unlikely that all of them do it and you need all of them to be very good to be competitive

umkay...
