The Off season came and gone and the Penguins made a number of changes to get more experience in D and get younger on O as well as stay salary cap compliant....

We traded D Olesiak to the Red Wings for a 3rd round pick and signed D Schenn to a 3 year contract at 1.15mil a year saving over 1mil in the salary cap

We signed C Martinook to lead our 4th line, LW Wilson to play on the 3rd line and LW Tanev to add some hard hitting to our 3th line

We moved LW Hornqvist ( was aging and dropping attributes really fast ) to LA Kings for RW Paerson who we used in a trade with the Jets (together with a 5th and 7th round picks )for C Lowry after C Brassard retired at the age of 30 (we did let his contract run out anyway )

In the last trade we made a 3 team deal work with the Canucks and the Blues where we sent RW Kessel to the Blues for G Allen. He was then sent the Canucks together with a 1st, 2nd & 5th round picks for RW Boeser what saved us 4.5 mil a year in the salary cap for the next 4 years (very doubtful Boeser will sign a deal like that in real life)

After all the changes and the team getting used to each other we started the season as we finished the last one, still top of the league.
We suffered a host of small injuries including C Crosby for 2 weeks after he fell of his roof and lost D Klinberg for 4 months...
