EMPTY NETTERS Take on 3 Signed Forwards

Empty Netters blog has provided some insight on the forwards Pittsburgh signed yesterday and I thought it was worth passing along (some good points were made):
  • Stone is a guy the Penguins will probably seriously consider for time as the fourth-line center. He brings some toughness to the ice as he had nine fights between Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last season.
  • Beech is a depth signing at best.
  • Thomas ... He's a player who can get shots on net, but has been largely inconsistent in his career. In 75 games with San Antonio last season, he had 24 goals. He fullfills the Penguins quota of one Western Pennsylvania player on the roster.
