Couldn't agree more. However the Cullen signing is okay with me. The team lacked leadership and Dad was so good at that.

When you make a signing....you don't then need to explain that you made that signing.

I would have preferred this much more, however I still would have signed Cullen(and they would still have the cap room for it in your scenario)

Grabner is garbage with stone hands and not worth half of what he is getting paid. Joke to even consider him. Duclair has been given up on by 3 franchise now why bring him in to play on echl team maybe. Ya lets not sign Cullen for almost nothing. he can skate score PK and is one hell of a leader. GET A F****IN clue Jesus its a wonder why Pens fans are thought of in such low regard reading the BS on here.

lol mad bro?

First of all, go check the stats on Grabner. Last I checked he scored more than Hags, and is the same speed, and is cheaper.
Second of all, the Pens have made a habit of reclamation projects being successful. (i.e. Oleksiak, Shultz, Sheahan) so its really not a terrible idea. Low risk, high reward.

ya go check the stats hags is 100 times better on pk has chemistry with current pens players. grabner gets hot for 15 games and then is useless as a player ask devils fans over paid bum. duclair is alot of hckey talent with a hockey IQ of negative 99999999999999 he is useless and proven it with 3 teams now. ya and the pens reclamation projects are on defense not forward thanks to gonchar and Jacques Martin. Sheahan was more of a dump do to 1 bad year and alot of bad luck in shooting percentage.

I hade to do a trade to switch the players so I mentioned it was a signing otherwise people would ask what Pittsburgh traded for Grabner, Folin.

Well someone's got her panties in a bunch.

Neither signing Duclair nor not signing Cullen are no brainers. Cullen will be 42 in November and had decidedly look like he lost a step in Minnesota. Maybe it was just their system, maybe not. As for Duclair, Pittsburgh has remade careers and Duclair, at worst, is a super fast, very skilled low-risk, very high reward project.

As for Grabner, agree to disagree. It's no fluke why he scores so many empty netters (which, by the way, firstly, if they were easy to score, Crosby would hit double digits every year, secondly, when you score an EN Goal, you essentially just ended the game). He's a closer, fast as hell and great defensively - his coach trusts him to be on the ice when the game is on the line. He'd fit the Pens system perfectly. Seeing him & Hagelin PK for a season would be so fun to watch... What could have been... Instead we've got ******* Jack Johnson.
