Bruce Boudreau Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I agree those 3 guys are great physically and Morrow and Iggy both have skill, but aside from Iggy, their top 6 is too soft in fornt of LA's or Bos's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Probably Iginla and Murray will stay. Don't know about Morrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Size means nothing if you don't have skill. Kopitar didn't win a Cup because he's a big body, he won because he's one of the most talented players in the game. There's no point drafting big guys if we can't develop skills with them and mould them into talented players, but at the same time they need to be born with that hockey IQ.

Bruce Boudreau Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Looking at their cap numbers, I doubt they can afford Iginla. http://capgeek.com/penguins/ regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I think Iginla wants to be on a competitive team. He will probably take a big pay cut to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Honestly, people need to stop overthinking this 'size' vs 'skill' team. You need a bit of EVERYTHING to win a stanley cup. Yes, that's not easy to get, but who the hell said it was easy to win a Stanley Cup? You think LA just drafted big guys for the hell of it when they sucked? NO! They had a plan, and their plan was to go out and get big, skilled, gritty forwards, who can play with leadership. LA is a huge team, but they also have mad skill on that team with the likes of Kopitar, Brown, Richards, Carter, Williams, even Penner is a force come playoff time. You need a little of everything, not one or the other. Teams like LA and Boston will succeed over CHI and PIT because they have both. Not to mention stellar goaltending on all 4 of those teams.
