This is like the 10th time you've posted the same Zegras trade, and every time, you've been told by multiple people, including some from your own fan base, that it's a crap offer.

The level of us not wanting Anderson is to the point that I don't think the Winnipeg first even covers his negative value.

Ignoring the awful Zegras trade.
The Penguins don't have any need for Evans. We have several guys in the AHL that are fighting for an NHL spot, notably Poulin, Ponomarev, and Koivunen. Odds are one of them could move the needle as much or more than Evans for half the cap hit.

Talking to some Montreal fans is like talking to a wall. You can explain the simplest thing a million times and they still won't get it.

Writing an essay about it doesn't make a cap dump not a cap dump.

I doubt MTL either with all their picks.
The price is fine. It's a pushed out pick in 2 years. Not my favourite deal but if wishes were horses, I guess.
I'd prefer they sign the best of the best as well but this is a cap team with the incoming Crosby extension, don't fool yourself!
They'll need another ex MTL type player like Lars Eller at center. Evans is fine. It won't move the needle but you need someone to play the penalty kill and actually push play while Crosby rests.

We quite see that yesterday, coming from the same guy who doesn’t understand what a cap dump is. The problem is not the fan base but individual like you who can formulate a simple idea in a discussion because they get in a rampage everytime someone doesn’t think the same a you do.

noooo. It is a bad trade and does not help the penguins. They're better off running an AHL guy.

Doesn't benefit the penguins bottom six in any sense of the word.

Evans is in the NHL because he's an NHL player. AHL players are in the AHL because they are AHL players. You are confusing what it means to be an actual NHL player from the idea of an NHL player.

I'm not actually. The penguins have 2 centers in the AHL that are 22 that are due an NHL look, hence, i'd rather try one of them than spend on Jake freaking evans.

Eller is 4C, Jack evans is also a 4c, the penguins do not need him.

Dump him elsewhere, trade makes 0 sense for pittsburgh.
