The Pittsburgh Penguins had a down year last year but things look to be trending up.
Pittsburgh Penguins ( 43-27-12, finished fourth in the Metropolitan Division)

Key Departures: Christian Ehrhoff, Paul Martin, Daniel Winnik, Brandon Sutter, Blake Comeau
Key Additions: Eric Fehr, Nick Bonino, Matt Cullen, Phil Kessel, Sergei Plotnikov

Sidney Crosby is the best player in the world and he is what makes this team go. He’s going to have to be even better than last season if the Penguins are going to win the Metropolitan division.
