Carter's mobility is so bad any lower body injury is a justifiable LTIR.

Pens depth is so bad, especially at forward

It is. And yet CAR scored one more goal in the regular season. Crosby and Malkin are still a very good center duo despite the paltry opinion rankings on this site.

Well this is something…Canes have 22 standing points over the Pens last year, gave up 51 less goals, and made it to ECF. Don’t see the point.

I’m glad that Crosby and Malkin are still a good 1/2C combo.

The point is the depth IS the problem. Not the core. Which is where ACGM ignorance becomes very noticeable. And why do you always post the quote below your reply?

What's going on with all this allergy inducing equipment? It's like that M Night Shamalan movie where the plants attack you...

Idk it always seems to conveniently show up for teams tight against the cap with a bad contract.

Agreed that's their weakness for sure. If they manage to keep Granlund hopefully he can center a shutdown line with Acciari and let Sid/Malkin feast on other bottom 6. Ideally he'd find some chemistry with Acciari and he could put up 20 goals again with a passer like Granlund (let me dream ok??)

I think with Karlsson generating more offense, a healthy Jarry and a bottom 6 that bleeds less than last year they can find the playoffs again.

Winns pass not close

Loooool sure

Yeah it won't happen, good try

I've had multiple wings fan tell me they'd take that deal with all the LHD they have and the fact the Petry is far better and signed for less long. Idk what you're arguing here

Here's a thread of wings fans discussing the merits of this trade. It may not be something you like but "not close" is a bit dramatic lol

Does it matter that wings fan on a fan site think it's a fair deal? It's not what the people in charge would do and that's what matters.

Yzerman and lalonde absolutely love Benny, they could have had petry multiple times for free over the last few years and went with guys who shoot on their off hand instead of trade for him. All of the top players on the wings constantly talk about how much they love Ben and what he brings to the locker room too. I can see them moving Ben in a year or 2, but he's not going anywhere right now, with Yzerman and lalonde loving him

I'm willing to hear that Chiarot is well loved and a good fit. I'm not willing to hear that Yzerman could have had Petry for free...

Well just agree to disagree, good stuff my man
