Pens new management
canadiancapman:
Not sure how many people realize but had there not have been a lockout season, chances are Crosby would have been lining up at centre for this team instead of the penguins. Ovie wasn't going to come across to North America his first season anyway and the caps would have been in the basement of the NHL for sure. The percentages of the last place team getting the first overall pick were extremely higher at that point.
Had that happened, I'm sure the Penguins wouldn't even be in Pittsburgh anymore.

Well they'll trade Malkin and Letang for sure. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure who's a free agent at the end of the season but whoever is, they'll try to get assets for at the deadline.
Their prospect pool is probably one of the weakest in the league right now because Rutherford traded away so many draft picks and they need to accumulate young talent
