What? The Leafs have an amazing situation. 3 star players under 25, more guys being brought up yearly, little long term lock ins. I think they have a great roster to work with. It may require some tough talks on some of the no-trade clauses coming in soon, but there's no way anyone wouldn't want that situation to work with.
Pens are a different situation. Malkin and Crosby are Pens for life, and for whatever reason they see Letang in the same way. They don't seem to have much else who they can trade. They're going to be Edmonton soon enough. That's going to be a hard roster to get back on the winning path when they're old and haven't drafted particularly well.
