Rust >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anderson and it's not even close. You're sacrificing a good hockey player for a bad hockey player just because he hits.

No way in hell MIN moves Addison.

I'd love to get Crouse though. Not sure what kind of package it would take, but my guess is you're on the right path.

If I was Arizona I'd take an unprotected first from this team in a heartbeat.

Habs decline.

Rust is 2 years older and signed for a year longer and has many of the same issues josh has except he lacks size and skating josh has. He also isnt getting propped up by crosby.

Anderson also has taken major strides under msl to alter his gane and that has been reflected in the 2nd half of the season. The 30 goal 50 point pace hes been on since january 1st is excellent value

Nylander is irrelevant.

Moving up a couple rounds 2 drafts later isnt worth the downgrade

This trade is bad for the Pens not the Habs, so get out of here with that malarky. Anderson is a crap hockey player.

Anderson's goal pace is 24G, not 30, so don't cherry pick one tiny sample size. He's just a garbage hockey player. Rust is on an ACTUAL 50 point pace.

Take the MTL trade and lock it somewhere never to be found again. It's worth noting the Pens are like first in the league in hits this year - so clearly that's not an issue or a need

Not really any issues with the rest - although you're breaking my heart with the DOC trade lol. Maybe you could find something else to include with Smith and drop Foligno? Idk.

no they don't. Rusty's having a down year and has outproduced every season in Anderson's career. Enjoy the hits tho

Then you can keep him.

Anderson if he was glued to the hip of crosby and malkin like rust has been for the last 3 years (2456 of 2716mins) would easily be that productive.

You obviously dont watch habs games otherwise you would notice the material changes Anderson's game has gpne thrpugh over this season.

I wpuld much rather bet on MSL continuing to get the best out of Josh than to expect rust to not decline further into his mid 30s when no longer playing with HOF centres

Yeah, we'll keep him. We don't want to move him despite the creator of this AGM. The Pens would be insane to move Rust. He's having a down year and will hit 50 points.

Anderson is a crap hockey player. There's no real debate.

Neat hopefully sids back doesnt give out carrying that bum

You calling Rust a bum only shows you're the least smart person on this board.

Dont be mad the pens made the same mistake they did a decade ago in paying the players sid carries as if they were doing it on their own merit.

Rust has 6 5on5 points in the last 3 years when malkin or crobsy arent on the ice. SIX lol.

Bryan should be taking Sid out to dinner every day of this contract because he wpuld be making half of what he does if he wasnt playing with him.

Nucks pass but you might be able to find another taker somewhere else
