Your thesis was also that TBL wouldn't age decline out of their contender status and they already are. Malkin and Letang are plenty fair value but you're too ignorant to know that the supporting cast is why PIT is no longer good. Same is happening to TBL.

Says the guy typing in his penguins PJs.
They are NOT out of their contender status. Hence the moves. Point 28, Kucherov 30...now Guentzel. McDonough/Hedman/Cernak...defense much better. Not to mention Vasilevskey.
Ptt had a great run. Sid an all time great. But Letang and Malkin contracts make my whole point. They keep you from having depth. Wrap your mind around that. If they were being paid 4 m a year...You could add a few more real pieces.
But if that all sails over you head. Such is life. Good luck Pens. And order your Kevin Hayes jerseys early. Making an old slow team...even slowererrrrrrr....
