Description

Not really up on what the G prospects look like but statistically none of them look ready for a full time promotion and Halak is getting to be a bit long in the tooth. Thoughts/counters?

I hate that Murray deal for Pittsburgh. And Rask won’t retire so it’s just a mute point

Just a what if. What would you like to see coming back?

That deal with Boston is pretty bad for the pens. Murray is the best player in that deal, POJ is the 2nd best piece in that deal. Pens take on a cap dump in the process and the only somewhat ok piece in this deal coming back is the 2nd round pick. And that doesn’t really help with a win now mentality. If the pens keep Angello and make him the 4th line forward, they would likely get similar production from him for almost half the cost as Kuraly.

Angello's foot speed is a real concern. I don't know, he just seems like a Boston type player to me. Kuraly gives them a "respectable" 3C, still not sold on Blu filling that full time, and McCann isn't one. The options for Murray are pretty limited and the well publicized need for the Pens to move a goalie really lowers the value on both Murray and Jarry.

Bad deal for Pens. Rask will likely finish his contract. But thanks for thinking of us. cheers
