After a winning the Stanley Cup, the Pitssburgh Penguins are running into problems. Thats right "D"eep problems. Although no one d-man stood up above the rest, as a group they played well and were there to help to team out. But now that they've lost Hal Gill, Rob Scuderi, and Mikael Samuelsson three of their top 6 defenseman. How will they replace them. They ar eleft with 5 in all. Gonchar(who is aging), Letang, Eaton, Orpik, Goligoski(who?, rookie this past season who was up and down). They have three guys they could use form the minors or will they sign a free agent or pull off a deal. With justinder 3 mill cap space left. What will they do?
One thing they can do is jump on the chance of snagging Cam Barker for a long term deal if the Hawks actually screwed up their qualifying offers.
Or just sit tight and hope what they have will work out. But they could alos swing a deal with Ottawa to get Jason Smith and Brian Elliott for Maxime Talbot and a Draft Pick.
