 Alright we are back for year 3 I believe it is now and quickly before we get into the video I want to give a big shout out to Speedy Gaming. He's been helping me throughout the series and dropping a comment on almost every video that I've posted. He just left a comment, last video saying, hey Leafy just for some info don't ever pick people with faces unless you know they were good. So yeah like I said big shout out to him he's been helping me out with franchise helping me learn it so again Speedy thank you very much but without further ado we're going to start the year 3 sim we're pretty much just going to sim to the start of the season set up all the lines because as of now we signed who we wanted to sign and all that good stuff. What I did want to say is I think for the start of the season depending on how things go we are going to be keeping Mr. Geno Malkin again just for the time being depending on how the penguins do to start the season that's when we will decide if we should get rid of them. I think at trade deadline it would be smart to get rid of him start prepping for the future especially if the team is doing super good and we could afford to lose him if that makes sense so I think that's cool we're getting a lot of trades here I just want to simulate here and all these trades have not been good hold on as I say that Joel Edmondson let me edit this trade what is this about so we'd be getting rid of a third a fourth and pust it in who is a 62 overall two way forward he's 59 alright interesting we'd get Edmondson a 3.5 for two years he's an 83 do we need him on the back end is what I want to look at here I'm not sure if we do because looking at things we got yeah so Tang newly signed Ekholm Dave Joseph Marino Patterson like it would be good to get him and kind of get rid of maybe Patterson but we don't really need him pust it in let me do my research on him I think he's one of our best prospects if I'm not mistaken who's in and he's unknown you know I might do it we have him for two years at 3.5 it's going to screw us a little bit at the cap if we get rid of Gino it makes sense and again the draft picks for 2023 again we're trying to win now right so it doesn't really matter we're trying to win one more cup I'm going to accept this trade so Joel Edmondson we're starting up the video with a trade and we bolster up our defense there so good stuff coming out of out of the off season from the Pittsburgh Penguins we made some big moves and now it's time to see what the lineups are going to look like as we are heading into September and here the pre-seasons let's edit the lines here I'm interested to see what this is going to look like so let's see what we can do here okay you know what this Pittsburgh Penguins team is looking pretty good so we were able to get a plus one in every line the only thing I don't like is Capi's on the fourth line for the time being but we will see how that goes I can't really fit him anywhere else so the first line is looking like the newly signed Chris Tierney we'll be playing first line minutes with Sydney Crosby and Jake Gensel the second line will be looking like Zucker, Malkin and Ricardo Raquel third line Jared McCann, Mikhail Granlin and Jan Kelski and then the fourth line tandem Lafferty and Cap and I actually did not check who we have scratched and we do have Eric Stahl scratched so let's let's throw him in there substitute and let me fix up the lines now okay so we slaughtered an Eric Stahl here on the fourth line I don't think this fourth line needs a plus one it's a pretty good fourth line if I have to say so myself so the only thing that really changes I third and fourth line so the third lines look like Brandon Tannib, Mikhail Granlin, Jared McCann and then the fourth line is Cap and then Jan Kelski and Eric Stahl if I do say so myself very good very very good fourth line we're gonna put Stahl center I have a feeling he has better face-off ratings we're gonna check that 79 compared to 80 so Jan Kelski actually has a better rating so we'll leave it the way it was here we are gonna get rid of Pettersen maybe because we do have Joel Edmondson just sit in there so let's throw him in there we got a plus one there I think we're gonna leave the defense the way it is so we got a new first top pairing of Matthias Ekholm and Christopher LaTang like that is a sick pairing I'm pretty happy to see how that works out we now have a second pairing of Joel Edmondson and John Marino pretty good and then a third pairing of Hamanic and Joseph so that is pretty good and looking at our golden situation Tristan Jaurie and Anton Forsberg I'm interested to see how Forsberg does we're gonna run with him as a starter to start the season it's gonna be interesting to see how he does like I did say and then special teams let me edit this up quickly all right so these are the power play lines we're gonna keep them the way they are I don't think I can do any better so I think the team is ready to go I'm gonna make sure let me make sure that the captains are set the way they should be cool and then I did want to check if we did turn injuries back off I don't think we did all right injuries off good on me for remembering that so we're just gonna start the the year here and see how the specific payments team does will probably simulate two or three months just to see how they do now preseason doesn't really mean much but let's see how they do in the preseason with the new players on the team 4 1 1 5 3 L we don't like to see that okay preseason not looking good we are two three and one but we are ready to start the season here and we're starting off hard so that's what she said but we're starting off with a back-to-back so not ideal but let's simulate this first month let me make sure Anton Forsberg is the starter for the first game I want to see how he does there and he is oh 77 all right Tristan Jari is a starter so maybe if we do decide to try Gino it's gonna be for a piece that will be a starting goal tender so let's see all right first month let's see how Tristan Jari does and we start off with a two game three game losing streak and I feel like this is the best team we've had as a Pittsburgh Penguins team and we are two five and two it's not looking good so after one month we are three seven and two something is clearly not working I don't know what it is we're gonna have to fix something ideally first thing I do want to check is this 902 save percentage is okay it's not that great it's so we are definitely looking for a better goal tender just straight away and maybe Gino's time is coming up sooner than we thought captain is up to an 85 so I'm gonna put him up on that second line we're gonna put Ricardo up on to the third line have Jared McCann on the fourth line and I think for the time being that's a way to go now looking at if we trade Gino ideally we want to get back a goal tender and probably a third or fourth liner so maybe that's something we got to look into I'll give it one more month before I think we need to make a move if that makes sense but I do want to edit the trading block and we're gonna throw Gino milk and up there if he isn't already up there he should have been but yeah let's see we'll give it one more year and if we have to Gino it's gonna be time for your career in Pittsburgh to possibly come to an end I wanted to wait till trade deadline but if the team's looking the way it's looking right now we need to make a trade ASAP so let's have a better month here we're off to a two game three game winning streak which is nice we take an L there against the Islanders let's keep it rolling here boys don't make me make them force me to make a move that I don't want to make but let's see here so after two months we are 15 10 and two so we definitely brought it back that month we are currently sitting in third in the metro tide for second actually but the islanders have two games in hand and the devils have two as well so a way better month I'm gonna give it one more month of the side what we're gonna do with Gino now I wanted to check how Jari was doing here 9-11 safe percentage so it's looking better Anton Ford we're going up to a 79 but he's only played two games Gensel went up an overall I think Crosby did too since the start of the month Tierney went from an 86 to an 82 let's put Raquel first line we'll put Tierney third line yeah that makes sense and then on defense at home Latang went down to overalls and missing went down to overalls so not looking good for the team but like I said we had a better month I'm gonna give it one more month if we continue to keep rolling we're gonna keep the team the way it is and then I'm gonna give you guys in the comments a chance to help me out with what we should do with Gino going forward next video so we'll give it one more month to see how the team does if the team does not do good I will make the decision myself and trade Gino away if we do good I want your guys opinion in the comments so let's keep it going here not a trade we're interested in so far so good we start off with a two-game winning streak we two L's there but we win all right so it looks like not a pretty good month the Canadians have fired their head coach nice so I mean listen three months down we're year 21 13 and four especially having that that first horrible month we're doing good we are currently sitting in third in the metro still we are four points behind the hurricanes and or yeah four points behind their hurricanes and five behind the no more than five behind the Islanders we have a game in hand crowds me with 45 points and 38 games which is nice to see so with that being said we had a good month I'm gonna give you guys in the comments the chance to give me your opinion on what I should do with Gino Malkin he started the season off by the way at a 91 overall he is now at an 89 it is an ideal in 38 games played he said 19 goals 22 assists so he's still producing but let me know I think I know what I'm gonna do with him if I do decide to trade him we're gonna look for a third line center so Grandin can come up to the second line we're gonna look for a third or fourth line center and then we are gonna look for a starting goal tender so let me know in the comments down below what I should do with Gino Malkin but for the time being the team is doing pretty good maybe we roll with Gino for one last time and we let him walk if he doesn't retire this season you again you guys let me know what we should do I think maybe it's best to keep him because we have a chance to win with him can at the overalls here nothing's really changed can we change stall we can't change stall so stall's got to stay on the fourth line there defense has anyone gone up doesn't look like it how's Joseph doing 3 goals 6 assists and 38 games not bad not bad at all and then the big thing I want to check Tristan Jari is at an 898 save percentage so I think it is safe to say on the Pittsburgh Penguins need to find a starter it's just plain and simple this guy's 20 70 has a potential to be a starter but like dude your career you're 27 like you're not that young anymore I think it's time for us to make a move for a goal tender if it's trading away Malkin in that package so be it but again I'm gonna leave that up to you guys what I should do with Gino but I think it is a smart move for us to go out and get a goal tender but yeah we're gonna end it there I know this is gonna be a shorter type video but we went through three months next video will be probably the trade deadline and the rest of the season so again I'm leaving it up to you guys what I should do with Malkin let me know in the comments down below but guys that is it for today's videos thank you guys very much for watching and I'll talk to you later peace
