Thread: PENS DEADLINE 2024
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoSeider53</b></div><div>Try 7 points bud 58 for Detroit and 51 for Pittsburgh. And even with 4 games in hand and all wins only puts you at 59 and Detroit will win some of their games as well. Even if Pittsburgh gets 3rd in the Metro Detroit will still have more point than them even if we finish at wild card 2 Pittsburgh needs to win all 4 games in hand and Detroit lose all 4 games. Sorry dude that's not happening.</div></div>

Dude we aren’t trying to catch the red wings right now idk why you think that. It’s a weird angle to say we will miss the playoffs because we are behind them when a non wildcard spot is wide open for taking in the metro right now

The last half of your paragraph makes me think you don’t know how the standings work

If the pens are third in the metro they do not need to catch the red wings. The red wings are in the Atlantic division, they cannot get a metro spot. We are 5 points back of the FLYERS with 4 games in hand. We do not need to catch the red wings right now, that would be nice insurance though.

We need two games and an overtime more than the flyers over the next 35 games. We are playing our best hockey, they have been sliding.

Edit: checked username, makes sense now why you think only the red wings matter here

How do you expect the red wings to make playoffs when Vancouver clearly has more points than them, check how far behind they are!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>Ya i wont deny the impact moving guentzel will have on the team, but fans of teams love to assume their guys are eager to resign. What if he isnt? What if he walks? Getting nothing for him sure would be a heck of a lot worse for Crosby and the whole team. I don't really think the ball is in Pittsburgh's court here. Their future isn't phenomenal so we cannot assume he's going to stay or even take a sign and trade.

There's a lot of factors here, and I won't even deny that your route could be feasible, but we cannot laugh at offers and say what will/won't happen when we really don't know. In a rental situation, he's not getting Laf.</div></div>

I can and absolutely did laugh at an offer as ridiculous as the one made here.

Will Jake re-sign? I do not know. But the pens will not trade him to the rangers for magic beans.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>ok guentzel is in your name so this counter is obviously riddled in bias. i agree that there's a divisional tax, and i agree that the offer is short, but cmon, laf for guentz 1 for 1 would be stupidly lopsided. This counter is 5 times worse than the original. Othmann 1st is the highest I could see the pens getting, and imo that's steep too. Rentals simply do not get massive packages regardless of their upside.</div></div>

Guentzel is the type of player people hope laffy become. And he’s got it done when it matters most. I do not presume the penguins would sell Jake guentzel as a rental that’s a ridiculously bad idea. That gets the least amount of value out of the second most valuable player on the team. Pens will not trade Jake guentzel, but if they did it would be sign and trade.

Trading Jake guentzel and rebuilding could also trigger Crosby wanting to cup chase with other teams. Why for gosh sakes would a company buy the pens for a billion dollars and then fumble away the face of the franchise in less than two years? The price of this risk is simply too great for the rangers to convince the penguins.

If you want Jake guentzel, the cost is extreme. I would not suggest trading for him
