What's your expectations? What's your offseason wishlist?

Do they keep the "big 3" or finally break it up?

Do they shake things up at goalie?

UFAs: Malkin, Letang, Rust, Rakell, Kapanen, Heinen, Rodrigues, Boyle, Beaulieu

I really like Bryan Rust... Dude is a great player & teammate, but I don't think they can retain him at what he'll get on the open market. That would handicap themselves to fill out the rest of the lineup.

I'd be interested in keeping ERod & Petterson around... Versatile guys even if often inept. Though I Wouldn't be sad to see them go

Posted this on the main board but here are my thoughts:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Since this is the norm of recent times for the Penguins s**ting the bed in the first round. Here are my thoughts the status of looming FA's.

Malkin - resign
Letang - please let him walk
Rust - he will walk as someone will overpay for his services
Kapanen - don't tender his RFA but they will since there is a possible capital benefit to this.
Rakell - resign
Heinen - tender him
Rodrigues - they love him for some reason and will resign him.
Boyle - old and done
Beaulieu - it was nice knowing you as you were here just for the regular season cap relief.
DeSmith - let him walk

Extra Credit:
Dumoulin - this post season proved he is redundant. And whatever team is dumb enough to sign Kris Letang, Hextall better be on the phone making any deal to dump him off to that team.

The rest of the D core they are stuck with.

The rest of the forwards they are stuck with.

Good they got him resigned before a team could overpay. I am just worried about the term being 6 years but by then Hextall won’t be the GM and it will be the next guys issue.

The goal is to continue to be a one and done team for the next five seasons.

They just extended DeSmith and it seems Letang deal is almost done.

Just think more of the freaking same. I guess if you get a trophy for continually "barely" making the playoffs the Pens are the team.
