House of Cards

The heaping amount of praise has been plentiful this offseason for Penguins General Manager Jim Rutherford after adding Phil Kessel, Sergei Plotnikov, Nick Bonino, Eric Fehr, and Matt Cullen. Each acquisition was a move in the right direction for a franchise that has virtually nothing in terms of quality prospects at forwards.

It would be foolish to question why or who they got to surround Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin with the talent to increase their goal scoring output from last season.

That's right, goal scoring was a problem.
