Whether [hide] an impact move at forward or on defense is and will be a topic surrounding the Penguins moving forward this season. The Penguins started the season at the minimum one or two Top-9 quality forwards short and there are smart people in that front office…….. They knew that to be a fact when this roster was built. Actively scouring the trade market, the Pittsburgh brass, though, has been much more aggressively in the d-man market than the forward market to this point. Doesn’t mean they won’t eventually go the forward route as it’s easier to attack that area than finding prominent d-men, but Kyle Dubas & Co have played the field of seeing if the lack of forward depth irons itself out throughout the season with internal options. And maybe it will with the emergence of Drew O’Connor, Jeff Carter providing a viable role, Lars Eller being a pleasant surprise, ect. Will we see…………. [/hide]
