Of all the players who were traded this year, Derick Brassard probably has the biggest on-ice adjustment.
Thanks again to Adam Crowley for carving out some time to talk with me about the final quarter of the season.
However he's used and whomever he's deployed with, Brassard will feel freedom upon his arrival.
There's no doubt the power play has given the Penguins' stars welcomed mid-career lifts.
Ron Hainsey was just what the Penguins needed last year. That isn't the case this time around.
Inspired by '90s Night, I hearken back to the exciting, yet star-crossed 'in-between' years for the Penguins.
His primary strength -- defense -- is airtight. But despite a recent outburst of points, offense remains the question.
Jake Guentzel and Zach-Aston Reese each scored twice as the Penguins stayed scintillating in 2018.
I accepted Adam Crowley's invitation to appear on his drive-time show Monday afternoon on ESPN Pittsburgh.
It's no longer outlandish to say Guentzel would be just as likely as Sheary to be dealt.
