Traded Krajicek and Simek for Michel Ouellet and Shane O'Brien. More grit on D and more depth for forwards. Small trade to set up a bigger trade?               

So thats the end of the preseason, not quite perfect but a good show of what the future holds. Not as bleak as everyone was predicting.               

Trade rumor Kevin Beiksa to Philly ? As well as a possible deal with the Rangers. Lets see how this pans out. Another scorer would help out big time.               

Ok going into the last preseason game and the are still carrying 30 players . Wouldn't it be good to have a set team play together at least once.               

Before people panic, let's remember that the Pens played on an ice surface with enough snow to justify two-hour delays across all public high schools.               

I bring up the power-play issue because it's going to be a favorite topic of discussion leading up to the home-opener against the Devils Saturday.               

The Pens' power-play does not suck. It's depleted. They'll adjust to the losses of Gonchar and Whitney and will be potent soon. At least they got one.
