Pens fans - what are your thoughts on Columbus picking

[MarkPSU]

up Ian Cole and Mark Letestu? Seems they gave up next to nothing to get some veteran help on the blue line and at center. Certainly not the splash of of getting Rick Nash to come back, but they keep the young talent in tact.

Good moves for Columbus, especially Cole, but I am not sure either guy really helps out their Offensive deficiencies.

Teams not even close. CBJ fighting for a playoff spot, while Pens are eye-balling another cup (no threat). Although Murray leaving practice today could be huge, if hurt.

Nice moves for Columbus but, as others said, I don't think it makes them a contender. If they play Washington or Philly in the first round hopefully it helps beat them up a little bit

True.

But,

let me say this about that,.........................

Ottawa came within 1 overtime goal of stopping the Pens trying to repeat last year.

Shocking I know!!!

Yeah, I don't expect any miracles from this......just maybe enough of a push to get them in the playoffs. Then it's a whole new season. Who knows, maybe Bob gets hot and keeps them in every game.

And Vanek may help. He's got as many goals as the current best scorer on the team.
