Stephen Brunt had a very insightful interview on the Fan960 this morning regarding the Pens. Hopefully it's up later.

Agreed, and honestly I hope it happens. They've always somehow managed to land all the generational talents right when their bandwagon of a fanbase was about to give up on the team. Too many breaks to call it "luck". Pens is like the Oilers, only thing is Oilers wasn't lucky enough to land 1st overalls when generational talent was on the table.
I know I sound jaded but I'll be happy to see the Pens in perennial mediocrity despite having the two current best players in the world.
