    In Dorion's defence, it was hard to see if he was terrible or not, he does have the absolute worst owner in the NHL to deal with.

    I think Sprong for Pettersson has worked out, and will work out, well for you, but I agree with the rest.

    For those that might be quick to quibble, Rutherford traded Hagelin for Tanner Pearson, whom he then traded for Erik Gudbranson, which is why you correctly say "don't trade away Hagelin for an overpaid defenseman."

    Wutt? DeSmith is no way better than Murray. Don’t trade Sprong for Petterson? Puhlease don’t ever refer to yourself as a pens fan lol. Sprong was put on waivers by anaheim ffs. Tanev has had a strong camp and preseason. Fits the team to a T.
    We didn’t trade a 1st for Reaves. That’s being disingenuous about the trade. The only reason that trade is a failure is because Lauzon ended up with too many concussions after being drafted.

    Is it all Rutherford's fault? Seriously is trading Crosby really an option? How about Malkin and Letang? Years of buying at the TDL this is what happens now that there is a salary cap.

    You do realize ANA just waived Sprong? We literally got a top 4 defenseman out of him who is now a core piece of our defense.... credit where credit is due

    way too long ago, but we're headed in the right direction

    Signed an optimistic Devils fan who sat through watching an AHL team for probably 1/4 of the season last year, and sat through some of the most mediocre hockey teams thrown together (after 2012 and before 2017) witnessed our GM firing a coach to COACH the damn team, 0 prospects to be excited about and a piece of s h i t heading the scouting department

    This might be the worst take on the penguins I have seen in a while.

    No person with more than 2 working brain cells thinks that desmith is a better option than Murray. The Pens were going to lose a goalie no matter what. They chose to keep the younger one with more of a ceiling.

    Tanev will be a perfect fit for what this team was missing. Who cares if his contract is for 6 years. Once Malkin and Letang are gone in 2 years nothing else will matter. This team will have to go through a proper rebuilding phase. Which means being terrible for a couple of years and rebuilding through the draft. There is no quick fix or retool at that point.

    Gudbranson has been great for the pens and his cap hit hasnt caused and issue.

    Sprong was put on waivers by a team that desperately needs scoring help and will most likely miss the playoffs. Rutherford got a top4 dman for him. Sprong is not a good prospect.

    He dropped 20 spots in the draft and gave up a 4th liner to get Reaves. Not the end of the world. You should blame Sullivan for misusing/not using him correctly. Plus he was eventually used to get jarred McCann.

    Many more? Do you mean BACK TO BACK STANELY CUPS YOU ENTITLED LITTLE SCUNT?

    You can't no longer be a pens fan because you obviously never where one in the first place.

    As a change of pace from all the hellish feedback above ill try to give some constructive criticism.

    Save percentage isn't always everything. especially when it comes to the back up. You have to keep in mind the deployment is typically different where the starter will get the harder match ups and the back up will be filled in against easier teams to give the starter a break throughout the season. However, he did play well when murray was injured and he saw all of the starts. When you are looking at save percentage its good to look at the overall sample size where Murray has played +/- 160 games and desmith is down around 50.

    In, Rutherford's defense, the Bjugstad and Sprong trades have worked out very well for the Penguins
