That is 100% not the roster you want against Vegas.
The Pens may be closer to last place in the division than one would think by this time next week if THAT is the lineup Sully uses at home against Vegas and then on the road at Dallas and St Louis.
Rust doesn't fit with Sid. We know that. But, at least one could sort of argue he's a top six forward with Hornqvist and Sheary out.
That said, if you are 2 injuries up front away from Kuhn in the top six, then it's a trifecta of failures . . . failures of coaching (Sully), AHL management (Guerin), and management (JR) of truly epic proportions.
EDIT: Strike that. It was failures of epic proportions LAST GAME. Now, it's also a testament to my argument that the coach with his bench management is doing more to coach them OUT of the playoffs than he is to coach them into the playoffs.
Only the Penguins could have Tom Kuhnhackl and Carl Hagelin in the top 6 but not Phil Kessel.
Carl Hagelin should be surgically attached to Geno's hip right now.
