Think McCan is still kinda young, no?
It made some sense at the time but in comparison/didn't get the same chances Jake has.

McCann was struggling in Florida

Again, Pittsburgh has a peculiar way of being a haven for some struggling players with their previous teams to look better than they are when in Pittsburgh..

Imagine a top six of Petterson, Brock, Bo, Tkachuk, Debrincat and McCann

They’d all belong here.

Imagine if you will a coaching staff that builds systems in which players can thrive. Such a novel concept :P

I wonder if having 2 of the games best forwards over the last decade might have something to do with bums on other teams becoming non-bums on Pittsburgh?

That doesn’t mean anything. Every player has a price

McCann finally finding his inner McSakic. Pens have done well over the years with former Nuck castoffs: Matt Cooke, Nick Bonino. Now it's McCann and Guddy.

Clearly, but the coaching staff builds around them a system that almost any half decent hockey player can slot into and have success. Systems like that make a team greater than the sum of its component parts.

It's simple really. Armed forces all around the globe do the exact same thing. Any boot can sling lead down range, they just need competent leaders to show there where to do it.

I wouldn't put too much on the coaching system, since they only win cups when they fire a coach, and Mike Johnston was on the chopping block this year as the team sat outside the wildcard position.

Yano, I'll go with the best 1-2 centers combo in a generation.
