Thread: Taking some bad contracts to build a younger core

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>Yet Dubas probably wanted Kakko in a trade for Guentzel lmao

Weird how a team full of “busts” is 1st in metro</div></div>

doubt Dubas wanted Kakko, no proof besides people claiming that's who Rangers would trade back.

And 2 players on a team can be busts and the team still be in 1st.......both can be true.

Thread: July 1 - Read Descriptions

I really like this idea and this this is a route Dubas goes to get a couple players. Teams that are cap strapped, is a solid way to do it. Lundell is a good target and makes sense.

Thread: Continue to Rebuild Even Without That Dirty Word Being Said

yeah, no thanks to this lineup even though I like the title. Dubas said Koivunen would not start the season with the Pens, he would need time in Wilkes Barre to adjust to North American hockey. maybe at some point next season but not to begin. Bemstrom better not get 1.2million and on our opening day lines. Why O'Connor isn't playing is crazy to me. and plenty more issues with this.

Thread: Next SZN

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>That’s by far my biggest problem with Dubas, the anti-buyouts. His biggest mistake of the entire offseason was not using a buyout on Granlund before free agency opened. Had he done that it would have created not only another roster spot open in the forward group, but freed up a couple million more before UFAs signed. That could have helped us attract another forward for a middle 6 role and of course it would have avoided an unnecessary trade for EK.</div></div>

no thanks to buying out Granlund. He made the right call on the trade. Buyouts stink.....aka J.Johnson. still paying him

Thread: Taking a Guess at Next Years Pens

Pickering wont happen because he isn't ready. Carrier is too expensive for 3rd pair dman. But I also expect more change than this. Poulin doesnt seem like he should be our 3rd line center with the way he is playing, maybe 4th line center

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>You will need to at least send a first round pick to Chicago to retain that much. They are deep with LHD as it is as well.</div></div>

No way a team gets a 1st rd pick to only take 2.5 mil. Honestly, POJ for only 2.5 is a steal for you!

agree with this. I was thinking maybe Dubas would then try and take advantage of a team cap strapped and get another lefty Dman. But I agree with you for sure.

Thread: Karlsson to PIT Friedman comments

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pensfan21</b></div><div>I think the likely outcome is Petry to SJ and Granlund somewhere else to make the cap work. Friedman in his latest report said Pettersson will not be a part of the Karlsson trade. I think this is one of those situations where SJ just doesn't have much leverage with Karlsson. If they can get a 1st out of it I think they will.</div></div>

Oh thats true, I do recall Friedman saying that in his podcast today. That is good to hear, I hope he is right.

Thread: Karlsson to PIT Friedman comments

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pensfan21</b></div><div>Spot on. I was thinking the exact same thing when he said he went to meet with Petry. Like why did he randomly go to meet with only Petry in person out of the whole roster? I think Dubas probably respects Petry a ton and wanted to have a convo in person. Could be completely wrong, but that was my first thought</div></div>

I agree, this is very interesting stuff. It doesnt really make sense for SJ, but I am a little afraid that Petterson is in the deal and the pens include like Granlund too. not Petry. just throwing this out there, I still think it is Petry if a trade happens but slightly nervous Petterson is apart of it.

This team is awful.....bottom 6 is not better and its slower. top 10 pick here we come......unless he makes changes. Sid and Geno can't carry the team like they did last year.

Thread: pens team and lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>I don't want to give out any grades because I'm hoping he's not done - but if this ends up being the final roster this is an unsuccessful offseason imo. The defense is better obviously. Goaltenidng the same - worse if they dump Desmith.

I agree with you 100%. I hope everyone else is right on this post saying he isnt done. But his comments yesterday make me a little nervous he is done with big moves. Time will tell I guess.

I actually don't mind either trade.

No chance Vegas lets Hill walk.</div></div>

Especially for that amount for Hill. He will get more than that in free agency.

I agree those third and fourth lines are bad, but they are better than last year. but still wouldn't want this team.

I agree and I'm a Pens fan. I'm sick of these pens fans trading Granlund for later draft picks. We will keep our pick and buyout Granlund before we do this trade.

Yeah, thats fine. I meant to put in the notes to any team, doesnt have to be blackhawks. Its such a minor trade didnt feel that was necessary.

Thread: Should we trade the 1st

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pensfan21</b></div><div>I agree. I think trading for a goalie is a bad bad idea. Severson contract is absolutely absurd. Do you have any ideas on other D we could trade for?</div></div>

This is so right, we should not trade for a goalie. Also Dubas's comments in his press conference made it sound like he would never do that considering he said its so hard to predict goalies in today's game.

No thanks to this team. If we trade Pickering, which we should not, I would want better players for him.

I would absolutely think about taking the PENS trade as a fan. I could see Dubas making a move like this.

While I do believe the report is probably true, why would Gibson wanna stay. I think the Pens should pass on Gibson. Don't want him. I think he'll cost too much.

Thread: Dubas effect

No way Dubas does this. there are better ways to make this team a contender without giving away every single draft pick the next 2-3 years. ARI and WPG deals are just awful for the PENS

Thread: These Guentzel trades are dumb

Dubas even mentioned in his press conference something about having Jake with Sid and liking the top 6 or 5 forwards. I would be suprised if Rust, Rakell or Guenztel get traded.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pensman69</b></div><div>No, probably Darche from TBL.

I agree with this, I hope its Darche from Tampa.

Agreed, feel like we are in for a “splash” we haven’t seen in some time with this management. I actually get the feeling again that this team is headed towards the promise land again.</div></div>

Yeah, Dubas has the potential to make some big changes. My only thing while listening to Dubas's press conference is it sounds like he wants to keep Jake with Sid. So all these trades on here with trading Jake might not happen....so maybe an extension is coming??? idk

Yeah, thats fair enough. I see your guys point! However, not sure I want Rodriguez back as our 3rd line center, but I get your point.

Thread: penguins

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JuanDamienNebraska</b></div><div>No thanks on Compher and Donato. Hard pass on those guys. If we’re signing Korpisalo then we need to have a true 1A and 1B in the crease. Though he had a nice year, Raanta is not a true 1B at his age.</div></div>

I kind of agree with you on Donato, not crazy about him. However, I disagree with you on Compher, I think he can be a solid 3rd line center for us. In terms of goalies, I think Raanta is better then DeSmith and Korpisalo is similar to Jarry. We need a more consistent goalie then Jarry. I am fine with resigning Jarry instead but I personally dont think we can bring back both Jarry and DeSmith. Someone needs to go. We'll see tho, who knows what Dubas will do if he is hired. Could see him making alot of changes since he isnt afraid to.
