Asked what the Penguins can do to keep their Stanley Cup window open after this loss, Pierre says they first have to look internally and upgrade their defense and the size they have on their wings alongside Sid and Geno.  Asked the best way for the Pens to handle Jack Johnson's contract, Pierre says it's going to have to be a conversation with the coaching staff and Jim Rutherford to see if they can find anywhere he fits in with their group.  Pierre goes so far as to mention the idea of possibly being able to buy Johnson out this offseason.  As for the decisions that were made during the series, Pierre believes Mike Sullivan did a good job.  Pierre takes us inside the options the Pens will have with Matt Murray this offseason and how complicated his future with the team is going to be.  On the Alexis Lafreniere front, Pierre tells us what kind of impact he'd make on the Pens if they land him.  Pierre says he'd be between 35 and 45 goals in his rookie year if the Pens get him.
