Description

Keeping the Pens much the same. Not sure that Bonino would sign for less than $4M but there is still some cap space left. Don't want to lose either Hornqvist or Hagelin, but the roster would be a lot easier to figure out without one of them. Kuntz could then be resigned. The other option would be to find a cheaper version of Bonino, if one exists. $.5M can be saved if Cullen doesn't retire.

Nicely done. Dumo will definitely get more though. Could affect ability to sign Moore

The D is pretty scary with injury issues and that would concern me. Also I think Sheary gets around 4M+/year. If the D can stay healthy they are still scary good or can load up again at the deadline! rolling eyes

How much do you think he will get? I'm not sure I'd want to go over $3M a year for a defensive defensemen who is an RFA.

Short of trading for a defensemen, I think that is exactly what they will have to do, but I do agree with you that the defense pool is pretty shallow.
