which could happen a few days ago

When Rust returns from injury — which could happen a few days ago — Blueger should stay from the lineup. (He won’t.)
Trades expressed by GM Jim Rutherford have elected the roster younger. McCann and Marcus Pettersson are 22. Blueger, a call-up through the minors, is 24. Nick Bjugstad is 26. Before Rutherford tinkered, the Penguins were experienced and accomplished — but somewhat stale.
At 27, Eric Gudbranson is marginally part with the youth movement. But Gudbranson’s primary values are size and rep. His 6-foot-5, 217-pound frame manufactures respect. That was clear Tuesday, when Gudbranson got two points for any takedown on Washington thug Tom Wilson. His defensive play has been greater than adequate.
Same applies to Jack Johnson. He has gone from minus-13 on Dec. 1 to minus-1 now.
The defensive corps has stabilized, and coach Mike Sullivan will face a fantastic problem if/when Kris Letang and Olli Maatta return from injury, giving Sullivan seven very legit top-six defensemen and many depth beyond that. (Letang might play the other day. Maatta is skating.)
Special teams are booming: The power play went 9 for 26 over the very last seven games, the penalty-kill 18 for 21.
Sullivan tried using putting Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel within the No. 2 power play. But which was short-lived, and Kessel responded with man-advantage goals in three from the last five games. Sometimes a carrot would need to be dangled. Links https://www.mmoah.com/madden-mobile
