HOW TO FIX PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

 The Pittsburgh Penguins are far from being a contending team now, in fact they would be better off trading everyone except Crosby and going forward with a full rebuild.



Two major trades are made by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2020 offseason:

Evgeni Malkin is traded to the San Jose Sharks for Tomas Hertl, Ryan Merkley, Ryan Donato, 1st round pick '21.

The Sharks get a superstar center in Evgeni Malkin to help propel the Sharks to new heights, while the Penguins get Tomas Hertl, a very good top 6 forward, Ryan Merkley, the Sharks top prospect, Ryan Donato and a 1st round pick.

Kris Letang is traded to the Ottawa Senators for Erik Brannstrom, Josh Norris, Drake Batherson, 1st round pick '21.

The Senators get an elite puck moving defenseman in Kris Letang, which makes them a legit contender; the Penguins get 3 very good young players in Brannstrom, Norris and Batherson as well as a 1st round pick.

With Malkin and Letang gone, the Pittsburgh Penguins finish the 2020-21 season with the 8th worst record in the league.


Pittsburgh Penguins buyout Michael Matheson, Brandon Tanev.

Pittsburgh Penguins lose Kasperi Kapanen to the Seattle Kraken in the Expansion draft.


At the 2021 draft, Pittsburgh Penguins trade pick 14 to the Vegas Golden Knights for picks 29, 32, 37 

2021 Draft results:

9-Matthew Beniers

29-James Malatesta

32-Cameron Whynot

37-Stanislav Svozil

46-Zachary Dean

The Penguins draft 5 very good prospects that should make an impact in the next 2-3 years.


After the draft, the Penguins trade Jake Guentzel, Marcus Pettersson to the Buffalo Sabres for Sam Reinhart, 1st round pick '22.

The Sabres add Jake Guentzel, a very good sniper to play alongside Jack Eichel, while the Penguins add Sam Reinhart, a solid two way forward and a 1st round pick.


Pittsburgh Penguins re-sign Sam Reinhart, John Marino to a 6 yr deal.


The Pittsburgh Penguins plummet in the standings without Malkin, Letang, Guentzel and finish with the worst record in the league; unfortunately, they can't land the number 1 pick but they do still end up getting the 2nd pick in the draft.


2022 draft results:

2-Brad Lambert

6-Ivan Miroshnichenko


The Penguins draft two blue chip prospects in the 2022 draft in Lambert and Miroshnichenko that will really bolster their offense.


After the 2022 draft, Jason Zucker, Casey DeSmith is traded to the Nashville Predators for Connor Ingram, 2nd round pick 2023.

The Predators get a top 6 winger in Jason Zucker that improves their offensive depth and a solid backup in Casey DeSmith, while the Penguins get solid young starter in Connor Ingram to tandem with Tristian Jarry.


Pittsburgh Penguins re-sign Drake Batherson, Josh Norris to a 3 yr deal.


The Pittsburgh Penguins make the playoffs narrowly miss the playoffs in the 2022-23 season and end up with the 13th pick in the draft.


By the 2023-24 season, the Pittsburgh Penguins have put together a fantastic roster.


2023-24 Pittsburgh Penguins

T.Hertl-S.Crosby-S.Reinhart

I.Miroshnichenko-B.Lambert-D.Batherson

J.Malatesta-M.Beniers-Z.Dean

S.Poulin-J.Norris-R.Donato

Pierre-Olivier Joseph-R.Merkley

S.Svozil-J.Marino

C.Whynot-E.Brannstrom

T.Jarry

C.Ingram



The Pittsburgh Penguins have built a powerhouse team that has the potential to win multiple stanley cups within the next few years.

TIPS FOR DECIDING WHO TO KEEP FOR KEEPER/DYNASTY LEAGUES

Keeper fantasy leagues are a variation of traditional fantasy sports leagues where participants are allowed to keep a certain number of players from their previous season's roster onto their team for the upcoming season. The number of players that can be kept, as well as the specific rules regarding keeping players, vary from league to league and are typically determined by the league commissioner or by a set of agreed-upon rules among league members. In a keeper league, the kept players usually come with a cost, such as forfeiting a specific draft pick in the upcoming draft or having to pay a predetermined fee. This adds a strategic element to the game, as managers must decide which players to keep based on their performance, potential, and value relative to the cost of keeping them. Keeper leagues often provide a deeper level of engagement and strategy compared to standard fantasy leagues because managers need to consider long-term player development and roster management beyond ...

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well. This coming offseason is a big one for the New Jersey Devils front office because after striking out on a netminder last offseason, the pressure to acquire a netminder this offseason is immense for GM Tom Fitzgerald, who might be on the hotseat if he can't find a way to fix the mess. Before the 2024 NHL Draft, the New Jersey Devils make two major trades New Jersey Devils acquire Jacob Markstrom, Matthew Coronato, 1st...
