Hopefully Gill will be able to help out with that. It would really help if they got steady defenseman Mark Eaton back in the lineup. In a way, this trade reminds me of way back when with the trade for Francis, Ulf Samuelson and Grant Jennings. Hopefully the results will be the same!!

Well, Gonch is the key to the power play with that laser shot of his. And he's got 10 goals and 41 assists in 60 games so I'd say that he's productive. The defense was exposed last year in the Ottawa playoff series so let's hope that it has improved with Gill and again I'd feel better with Eaton in there. Guess we'll just have to wait and see!
What has killed us in recent years is the overall lack of scoring. That seems to have changed as we are 4th in the NHL in goals scored and 7th in goals per game, so as long as it stays that way and maybe improves with a stud like Richards, I'm feeling better about our chances.
I hope the rest of the Pens division feels that way....
I just want to see if the "chemistry" is there, which it should be. But several years ago they went out and got all of these "big name" players and it flopped. But they have the "core" team in place now, so adding Hossa and Gill and the other guy (Dupois?) should work out fine. I'm sure that Hossa will gel with Sid, Malkin, Staal, Sykora, etc. Imagine the power play now!!
I'm really impressed with Malkin; he really took it to heart to carry the team while Sid is out and he's really become a force.
