Welcome to the offseason.
The real offseason, this time.
It's been a week since the Penguins' brief visit to the postseason -- no one here is likely to refer to it as The Mid-Summer Classic -- ended, but there's been plenty of fallout since.
Jim Rutherford has skewered his players for their lack of urgency during the past two playoffs. Three assistant coaches have been let go. The Penguins have formally committed to keeping the 2020 first-round draft choice that has seemed for months certain to go to Minnesota to complete the Jason Zucker trade.
And there figures to be a lot more action to come in the weeks and months ahead.
This is the place to discuss all that has gone on so far and, if need be, to vent about what happened -- and what didn't -- during the Montreal series.
Post questions, comments and observations at your convenience, and I'll respond over the course of the day.
If you’re new: Enter one question (at a time) in the comments below. When it’s done, all that will be left are the questions, my replies and any follow-ups by the original questioner. Please don’t use this the way you would an ordinary commenting thread, and please scroll through the questions already submitted to make sure your question hasn't been asked.
