That's a much better idea for the Penguins. They have a stable of good young defensemen in the system and may have to use one to pry Bernier from the Kings. Luongo would be great for them but that contract really kills any long term flexibility and Malkin and Crosby will still be playing at a high level when that deal becomes an albatross.
