Trevor Daley

OK I know this is cheating since Trevor Daley is already a Penguin but if we were to bring back any one of our free agent defenceman, it would have to be him.

At 33, Daley still has it in him to perform at a high level. In 56 games this season he put up 19 points. He has solidified our blue line and truly helped when he was needed.

We should look to sign him before any other defenceman, and then work from there.
