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.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP...
