Description

Ive been saying it for like 7 seasons now. Fire Sullivan sheesh. Jarry is too inconsistent to be a starter he should be making what Ned and Casey were making. All of them are inconsistent except the other two make a lot less amd wouldve been a better tandem because of it. 5 x 5 was outrageous at the time and will only look worse over time. Theres still time to fix this team and season.

This d core is solid so if karlsson and letang are on one line together you know youre getting good defense at least from the other lines if theyre giving it away rather than two lines of giveaways.

Trades

PIT

Johnson, Tyler ($2,500,000 retained)
2024 2nd round pick (LAK)

CHI

PIT

Wallstedt, Jesper

Additional Details:

They have Gustavsson and Fleury with Gustavsson most likely being the long term guy.

MIN

Gauthier, Taylor
2025 3rd round pick (PIT)

PIT

Wolf, Dustin

Additional Details:

Their current goalie options are still only 33 or 26 so maybe Wolf moves somewhere else rather than waiting another 5 years for these two to move or retire. He'd be another good option alongside Ned.

CGY

Hellberg, Magnus
Rathbone, Jack
Shea, Ryan
2026 5th round pick (PIT)

PIT

Schenn, Luke

NSH

PIT

Hague, Nicolas

Additional Details:

With korczack looking good why not move a piece to allow him to slot in

Do Penguinb fans really think that trading scrubs, older vets making league minimum and bottom 6/playing in AHL and non-prospects who are 26-32 yrs old have value?
For example:

Taylor Gautheir, an undrafted goalie playing in ECHL with a 3.20+ GAA has value?
Magnus Hellborg, a 32 yr old goalie, with his 4th or 5th NHL team and just 24 appearances in the NHL in his Career?
Ryan Shea, a 4th round pick back in the day, now 26 yrs old, with just 5 NHL games with Penguins this yr?
Jansen Harkins twice on waivers, 26 yrs old?
Alex Nylander, 25 yrs old, professional since 2016, now in his 7th yr, any trade would be his 4th team, always leaves you disappointed?
Jordan Frasca, undrafted free agent, a stay at home, unremarkable player from the ECHL?
etc....

The entire taxi squad is a list of players who arent NHLers anymore like Andreas Johnsson, Colin White, Zohorna, etc...
You're trading Jarry, who might have value with Carter who has negative value and yet, you're getting value back?
You think CGY wants those scraps and gives you Dustin WOlf?

Yoiu're going to fix the team and save the season by trading those guys? For what?

You're throwing things with ZERO value in quantity for quality. And yet have you fixed whats wrong with this non-playoff, struggling team? Replacing your 3rd pairing defense that barely plays 12 minutes a game is the solution? Having 9-10 of your starting 12 forwards 30+ yrs old is the solution? They cant do it now, but this team should have been torn down, but the idea that your scrubs have value is crazy

Don’t believe Calgary or Minnesota would trade their top goalie prospects for Brendan Yager just as a heads up

Hawks would have zero interest in: 1.) bringing in Carter 2.) bringing in Jarry 3.) giving up a second rnd pick . Then we arrive at the value which is wwwwaaaayyyy off. This is a terrible trade proposal for the Hawks & is completely unrealistic.

This guy is making 7 in season trades, I think realism waved bye-bye a long time ago.
