Why Sticking to Veterans Could Spell Disaster for the Penguins’ Future
– Sergei Murashov has been – without a smidgen of a doubt – the best goaltender in camp, and he is leaving very little doubt that he may very well be NHL-ready now. Of course, there’s no sense in rushing a young netminder with his ceiling and potential, but goaltenders have a tendency to tell you when they’re ready – and his agility, quickness, athleticism, poise, and performance have all indicated that he may not need AHL seasoning after all.
– Owen Pickering may not be having the most flashy training camp on the Penguins’ blue line, but he’s showing an ability to keep things simple and steady, which is something that blue line needs. He may not be in mid-season form quite yet, but a 25-game sample size last season, his performance in camp, and the Penguins’ less-than-ideal left side certainly work in his favor.
