6. Leadership
This might be one area where the Penguins are pretty solid. Crosby is arguably the best captain in the league, and even guys that don’t wear a ‘C’ or an ‘A’ on their chest still have intangible leadership skills.
Players like Sutter, Patric Hornqvist, and Paul Martin lead by example with their play on the ice and are vocal leaders off the ice.
The Penguins need to have a solid core of guys that can lead their team into battle, and it doesn’t have to be the same ones night in and night out.
