Description

Pens obviously need to get some scoring depth and Namestnikov to me would be a great fit to our transition scheme. Koivu still can help as a bottom-6 two-way center, with his leadership and experience. A short-term answer.

I would hate this. I need you guys to lose next year for that unprotected 1st but Koivu deserves a cup for everything he's done for us. I'd be torn.

The penguins just missed out on VERHAEGHE. He was my sleeper pick for center.

It doesn't sound like they are bringing Koivu in, they want younger players with legs

Koivu still has more gas than a lot of youngsters. He's a leader, a good two-way center which can still help a team to win a cup. I can't see a better and cheaper or even for the same price center to sign than him in FA. That's a low risk sign with potential to be very rewarded to any contender.
