Description

Thompson - 23 yr old G who had great #'s in the ECHL. Could contend for a role with WBS.
Brazeau - Hulking 6'6 225LB winger who had a great 1st ECHL season. Turned 21 in Feb, could be a long term project perfect for a bottom 6 role.

Irwin & Weber are 2 UFA vets who will mentor some of the younger D we have down in WBS while also providing a cushion for injuries. They may not be the flashiest, big name signings, but they serve their purpose.

Sheary/Simon battle for Sids RW spot. Never a bad option to have too much depth especially knowing our injury history..

COL fans, let me know if you're interest in Bjugstad or if he fills a need in your top 9.. If value is off we can discuss

Pens move up and draft Sokolov

TVR/Byfuglien are solid options at 3RD

TvR>>>>Irwin and Weber>>>>>Byfuglien

Wouldn't be that excited if we got Sokolov without trading up

I've seen that Jarry fire Barratt trade a few times before, I don't really like it, especially if we're giving up ERod, Barratt probably won't be that much better than him, Barratt also seems more like he'll be a scoring 3rd liner who isn't the best defensively which doesn't really fit here either

Jarry, Rodrigues for Barratt, Hagel, 3rd

I shot down this bad idea when the Chicago guy did it for just Jarry. You added Rodrigues which makes it even worse for the Pens.

Irwin & Weber are legit doomsday scenario call ups.. don't think you can go wrong with them. If Byfuglien can come back 75% of what he was, he is > TVR.

I think the trade is pretty fair, we get 2 decent prospects and a 3rd for a goalie who has had 1/2-3/4 of a good NHL season.. Would you be happier with a 2nd round pick + those prospects?

I think Sokolov could be a disgusting long term project. You can't teach that size.. work on his skating in WBS for a few years and he could be a imposing top9/bottom 6 piece.
