Thread: Game 3 lines please
I was a major advocate for Ehlers to be bumped to the top line and Connor down to the 2nd with Monahan but KC has looked so good this series already. I think keep that line together because it has been good. I really like moving Toffoli to Lowry and Nino and hopefully that gets Toffoli going because we need him going. I love love love Perfetti drawing in and putting him with Ehlers and Monahan. Perfetti brings more speed and would really help Ehlers. With the D pairings Schmidt needs to draw in going to Colorado. Stanley has played ok but he just doesnt have the hockey sense that Schmidt has. Also Bednar is going to match up MacKinnon against Stanley all the time and its going to be bad. Also Pionk can not play with Morrissey. Pionk isnt defensively responsible enough to allow Morrissey to jump up and push the offence. Bring Schmidt in and allow Samberg to move back to his natural left side and call it a day.

Thread: Window is now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfkst1</b></div><div>The problem that is obvious to all Penguins fans is that Sullivan has sucked this season yet still has a job. So if they cared about competing, he would have been fired months ago. Rutherford as GM would have fired him months ago unless ownership prevented it. So if they wanted to compete, that is step #1. Otherwise, all these other moves mean nothing. They didn't do that which tells me and all other PIT fans that they have no interest in competing. So don't try making contradictory decisions or it will make everything worse. They're sellers this year so sell everything that maximizes value.</div></div>

I have been a life long Pens fan. I don't think Sully is the problem. I think the decisions that Dubas made in signing certain players just hasn't worked out. Also from what I have seen from the PP is that it's filled with too skilled of players. They need to simplify the PP and move EK65 off the top unit and let Letang, Malkin, Crosby cook like they have for years. The problem that is going to be this trade deadline is that they are only willing on selling Guentzel. So that isn't going to do much come the next 2 years for the Pens window. Whatever you get for Guentzel won't be NHL ready for potentially 2 years. Outside the Cup window.

Thread: heartbreak
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ecupirate07</b></div><div>Who rumored pesce was a part of the EP deal? Or are you reading speculation on the group of roster players that Vancouver would be interested as names rumored to be part of the deal?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gumshoeismygod</b></div><div>I believe he's referring to Necas and Kotkaniemi, who were the reported centerpieces of the EP40 deal that never happened.</div></div>

Correct. It was Kotkaniemi and Necas.

Speaking of that, as a Canes fan what were your thoughts on that reported trade and then finding out what Petey ended up signing the extension for? As a person living in Vancouver and follow the Canucks because of where I live I was hoping that the Canucks would get these 2 players for Petey.

Thread: A Buffalo and Two Sabres
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>We just watched what happened to Ville, you really want to chance it with another prospect that likely gets misused again?

I’d rather add impact players to help us win now, while our window is open.</div></div>

Salomonsson plays the right side and Ville plays the left side. So Salomonsson is going to get into the lineup not just because of that but that is a major reason. Also the Jets seem to value playing the "veterans" over younger players who could actually make the team better. If the Jets didn't have so many defensemen that play the left side Ville would be in. but Dillion is taking that away. But hopefully next year he isnt back so the left side can be JoMo, Samberg, Ville with Schmidt being the 7th dman.

Thread: Never happening
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Was mostly kidding about Bastian. He is big body 4th line RWer who can dial up physicality when needed. Not really a pest. Has some good hands…usually good for handful of goals around net. Defensively solid…plays some PK. Long reach, quick stick. Not very fast. Good team guy.

If the names you mentioned, Nemec is probably the least available. Mercer is usually untouchable. Holtz probably an option. Toffoli could be too.

Maybe a scenario around Toffoli (at 50%) and Holtz and something for Connor.

Or just Holtz for Samberg+Lucius.</div></div>

Yeah if I'm the NJD Nemec isn't going anywhere unless I'm getting something similar in value for him but right now that isn't going to happen. So yeah I agree Nemec is untouchable. But I thought I was reading somewhere that Mercer was falling out of favour in NJD. That might have just been some clowns on this site speculating and not actual factual.
I really hope that Samberg isn't available to teams. I know everyone is replaceable but Samberg has really turned into the player I thought he was going to be. I also think that there is more to his game than what he is already doing. He is unfortunately on a team that values the veteran guys instead of guys with talent and can make the team better. There is no way that Samberg should be playing less minutes than Dillion or Pionk.
