I think thats an overpay for fleury, they should really wanna move that contract, plus by retaining on okposo you are in all fairness trading mittelstadt, a 2nd, and a couple seasons of okposo at 3m for 2 years of maf at 10m.

A) Pens have no need for another RHD
B) Montour isn't worth that much

Pens need D. I also thought this site was cracking down on worthless comments like this


Quoting: Jeuck75
23 goals against in 6 GAMES?!?!?! Yeah the Pens need defense....BADLY!!! Especially with Pettersson out. And thats about fair for Montour who'd be your4th best dman most likely.



That last thing the penguins need is yet another 4 mil per year D. FFS they already got 5 of them, wtf do they want another for?

Aston-Reese is one of the best defensive forwards in the league, and a 2nd round pick is quite valuable for the Pens given their poor prospect pool.

Montour also sucks and doesn't improve the Pens defence at all. They'd be better off sticking with what they have now

No he's not. He's a liability defensively and he hasn't been good offensively since the 17/18 season.

In a sheltered 3rd pair role he could work, but he's nowhere near a top 4 D

Ok hes a good 4th liner. Thats a great quote to show you the disconnect between advanced stats nerds and reality as well. Advanced stats make up barely 10% of the picture

so what, teams had no exhibition, no real practice. Every team is sloppy. But they have won 4 straight and that is what defines a team.
You over here acting like they don't already have a solid top 4, they do. They also handicap themselves giving guys a chance.
Hell they have one of the better top 5 defenseman in the whole league in DUmo, Letang, MP, Marino and POJ.
They don't need another 4 million dollar defense contract.

yeah when they run a 3rd pairing of Matheson and ceci...I agree. But lets not pretend they were running their best 6 They weren't.
As for their top 4...It's not average. If you think their top 4 is average then you are either blind or willfully negligent in looking at other teams defense.
