Thread: Pool party
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hurricanes73</b></div><div>Puljujarvi won’t want to get bottom 6 minutes. He wants opportunity to better his career, I don’t see linemates if Carter and puustinen being ideal for his performance. Kapanen should also be resigned. Maybe play rackell on the LW with malkin and having puljujarvi one the RW. Probably the only circumstance he is traded for</div></div>

Rackell-Malkin-Puljujarvi is interesting, though I question the fit a bit since Malkin doesn't shoot much at 5v5 and needs some shooters around him (by that measure, Zucker isn't exactly helping much either). Puljujarvi can really drive play though, which is why I thought he could help Carter.

Regardless, I think this is a good spot for him. Hextall and Burke want size and he's got it. I see a lot of Nichushkin there.

Not sure what to do with Kapanen though. He was horrible last year and likely will cost little to sign.

Thread: Tkachuk moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldHabsFan61</b></div><div>What makes you think the Pens want to move Dumolin? Has your front office shown any signs at all they’re willing to move away from their core guys? He’s been Letang’s partner for how many years now? You think he wants him gone?

Pinto has a real possibility of becoming a second line centre. He’s still on his entry level deal. Ottawa doesn’t need Marino that badly. All Ottawa has to do is dump Zaitsev and move up JBD. The idea of trading Tkachuk is a worthy one for Calgary to explore, but that’s just not a good offer.</div></div>

It's been reported that they are trying to move a LD (but the preference is Pettersson, though they are listening on Dumoulin). It's also been reported for like a year that they would be willing to move Marino. So yeah, don't act like moving Dumoulin is some crazy thing especially with the fact that he's declining and only has a year left.

I would also point out the return Mark Stone got when he was traded to Vegas. You guys always overvalue prospects and overestimate what it takes to get these guys. Look at the Debrincat trade. Didn't even get a prospect, just one first.

Thread: Clearing cap space in the offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>His shooting percentage is higher than Zucker, Kapanen, Blueger, Boyle, and even ERod. Why would we get rid of him when he doesn’t even make that much? Zucker is clearly a waste of cap. Kapanen is the next best option to move on from.</div></div>

....why are you citing shooting percentage?

McGinn is a decent finisher shooting above his career average this season. That's what he brings to the fourth line. He also doesn't drive play like a guy like Rodrigues does. When Rodrigues is on the ice, the Penguins generate a lot more scoring chances and allow fewer. The Penguins get significanatly fewer chances to score when McGinn is on the ice.

Look at their isolated impacts.

McGinn isn't as great as you think he is.

Zucker is also paid too much, yes. And I explained why he's unlikely to move in the post. He makes so much money that you probably have to attach a pick to him like Vegas tried to with Dadonov.
