With the Pens, it's almost like addition by subtraction. They'll probably be a better overall team next year!

He was a monster shot-blocker in Buffalo and put up decent numbers. I had Goligoski in a fantasy pool last season for quite a time until he began being scratched. This kid has great offensive upside, much more than Letang, and should one day skate regularly with Gonchar. Scuderi will have some pressure on him in LA with the big contract now and a lot of guys in his position have failed in the past.

Compared to Detroit's losses, the Pens' losses are minimal. As you said, they should continue to see the emergence of Goligoski. They could probably use another body on "D". Sorry to see Talbot be out for a while, but goes to show the warrior he was in the playoffs! Nice read, Rick.
