It would be pretty bad, the last two things on earth the Pens need to get are older and slower.

Even if like Carolina took back Kunitz and Perron's contracts or something, Staal will be overpaid for another 4 years yet, it's a really bad contract IMO. It makes zero sense for the Penguins to acquire him under any circumstances and yet I worry that Rutherford will try to do it anyway.

I think our breakout is broken. I don't know how other teams do it but it seems weird that we've normally got 2-3 dudes pasted to the line while the carrier sluggishly tries to dangle through the center and then backpassing before even gaining the blue

Nah that's what everyone does (well, the teams that don't habitually dumb-and-chase anyway) but the Pens are just bad at it.

This legitimately might be the result of them still getting used to trying to enter the zone normally after The System which required them to either carry it along the side boards or dump it, always.

Carolina's a bad matchup for the Pens because they are a very good skating team and the Pens are slow as hell, and thus Carolina's weakness (they turn the puck over in dumb ways a lot) they can often just outskate against the Pens. It'll probably be 3 losses come Saturday.

The Pens have a whole one more win and the same number of ROW as the Canes so the two teams aren't as far apart as you seem to think.

In fact I'd say the main difference is the Hurricanes' goaltending being utter shite and Fleury bailing the rest of his team out repeatedly.
