Penguins Update: Call Up the Kids (Do it Now)!
As the Penguins continue to stumble through the throes of what for all the world has the makings of a lost season, the rumblings from the fan base are growing more audible.
Call up the kids! Play the kids!
I, too, touched on the issue in recent articles, suggesting that Kyle Dubas clear at least two forward slots for Rutger McGroarty and Avery Hayes, who appear to have nothing left to prove in the AHL.
On defense, I’d try to move Sam Girard, who IMHO simply hasn’t been a fit here, while perhaps promoting Jake Livanavage or giving Ilya Solovyov (excellent metrics) a longer look.
Some folks have called for the Pens to bring up the kids en masse.
Not I.
