The Penguins Are Different. Are They Better?

Two days into free agency and with nine signings under our belt, it’s time to take a step back and see what Kyle Dubas has wrought.

The Penguins sure are different. Deeper, too, at least for the time being.

Are they better?

I do like the fact that we’re bigger. The additions of monster forwards Anthony Mantha and Justin Brazeau should make us more difficult to handle, particularly in the high-traffic areas. As the saying goes, go big or go home.

I also like that we brought back scrappy Connor Dewar and slippery Philip Tomasino.
