Pittsburgh GM Jim Rutherford said there’s a chance Bryan Rust will be on the top power-play unit next season.
However, Rust is expected to face competition from off-season acquisition Kasperi Kapanen. They both provide the power play with a right-handed shot and could replace Patric Hornqvist, who was traded to Florida. "I like how they both can shoot the puck," Rutherford said. “And I like how they can dig pucks free, win puck battles. That’s the stuff that made Hornqvist so incredibly valuable on the power play. So if they get their chance with that group, I think they’ll be good because they’re both good at those kinds of things." Rust led the Penguins with eight power-play goals and tied for second on the team with 17 points on the man advantage last season, which suggests he could have the inside track on the position over Kapanen.
