****MORE TO COME****
It was decided the middle of last year that this team was going to go through a major overhaul as multiple playoff failures exposed weaknesses that needed to be addressed in order to compete with the St. Louis' of the league. We are going to look at the prospects acquired either via trade or in the 2013 and 2014 drafts and where they project on the roster.
Goalies:
Calvin Pickard (Acquired from Phoenix for Kesler):
83 Pot -71 Con: Projected low tier starter, high end backup. Has the potential to be the #1 in the future.
Defense:
Jordan Schmaltz (Acquired for Kris Letang):
88 Pot - 75 Con: Projected top 2 offensive defenseman with close to an 88 offensive skillset.
Kevin Colussi: (Acquired from Washington):
87 Pot - 70 Con: Projected bottom pairing defenseman. Future status uncertain. Rumored to be on the block
Marlo Thaler (Acquired from SJ in Crosby deal):
77 Pot - 86 Con: Projected top 4 pairing defensive defenseman with 87 overall defense and 93 hitting. Status uncertain. Rumored to be on the block
Seth Jones (Drafted #9 2013 Draft):
88 Pot - 87 Con: Top 6 Two Way Defenseman. Looks to be high 80s both offensively and defensively.
Anthony DeAngelo (Drafted #13 2013 Draft):
88 Pot - 88 Con: Top 6 Two Way Defenseman. High 80's on offense, low 80's on defense. Rumored to be on the block
Ryan Pulock (Drafted #15 2013 Draft):
88 Pot - 87 Con: Top 6 Two Way Defenseman. High 80's on offensve, low 80's on defense. Rumored to be on the block
Forwards:
Tomas Jurco (Acquired from SJ in Crosby deal):
73 Pot - 86 Con: Could be 2nd line scorer. Developing already. Offense could max out at 84. Future status uncertain. Rumored to be on the block
Luca Ciampini (Acquired from FLA in Staal deal)
85 Pot - 79 Con: Projected Top 6 forward. 85 + Offense. Rumor is he could be on the block
Seth Ambroz (Acquired from FLA in Kane deal):
84 Pot - 81 Con: Already developed. #1 center in Pittsburgh. Top tier defensive forward and the next likely captain of the team
Axel Blomqvist (Drafted #6 2013 Draft):
84 Pot - 78 Con: Top 6 defensive forward with roughly a 92 on defense. Will contribute offensively with an 85 offensive ability
Nicholas Monutsky (Drafted #23 2013 Draft):
81 Pot - 82 Con: Top 2 line sniper. 99 shot. Low 80's, high 70s offensively and defensively.
Max Domi (Drafted #27 2013 Draft):
83 Pot - 73 Con: 2nd or 3rd line center. 80's offensively and defensively. Rumored to be on the block
