Following a spate of free-agent signings, the Pens easily go five-deep and then some at each roster position. I’m not even including the likes of forward hopefuls Tristan Broz, Avery Hayes and Filip Hållander, who didn’t re-cross the pond just to skate for the Baby Pens. Add perennial prospect Sam Poulin, intriguing addition Rafaël Harvey-Pinard and popular heavyweight Boko Imama to that bunch?
Our Pens boast in excess of five NHL viable forward lines.
Things are considerably more sketchy on defense, where quantity most assuredly doesn’t equal quality, particularly on the rag-tag left side.
