Thread: Scenario #2: Trade Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blynasty</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GetDeadKid</b></div><div><i>Why would they give away their good goaltending situation to inherit our terrible one?.</i></div></div>

Terrible goaltending situation that led to a cup last year... We are in a sticky situation due to the expansions draft. Our goaltending is an asset that most of the league would be envious of had the issue of expansion not come up. Don't let this site brainwash into thinking there isn't value there just because you see a lot of people trying to move the same players.</i></div></div>

I'm not deluded enough to think that NJ has interest in giving up Schneider for Fleury and Cammalleri for an older UFA winger and an 8th overall pick who can't crack a top 7 or 8 Penguins defense. You might as well just trade them Fleury because they can't protect both and 100% chance that one of the two left exposed is taken by Vegas.

On top of that, inheriting that goaltending situation does them no good. NJ isn't making a Cup run this year even if they manage to make the playoffs.

Thread: What would it take to get Bozak?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>djsuperdock</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GetDeadKid</b></div><div><i>Bonino &gt; Bozak. This doesn't make sense to me.</i></div></div>

I don't know how you can say that... Bozak: .63 ppg this season, Bonino: .44 ppg this season. Playing similar minutes, and Bozak is about 8 points better on faceoffs. Also factor in that Bonino often gets to play with Kessel and Hagelin who I think are probably better than whoever Bozak is playing with. Pens' 4th line has been pretty solid when Kuhn is in, I think Bozak would solve the 3rd line for this year and next year at least.</i></div></div>

See I don't agree with you there at all. The 3rd line doesn't need solving. It's been solid even when it's been Sheary-Bonino-Rust. Bonino has proven that he can step up and provide offense when it's needed and he also is one of our best penalty killers. As far as I know and can see in my quick research online, Bozak doesn't kill penalties.
