Thread: Yager and Mailloux are involved
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jackaille</b></div><div>report of Letang not playing next year due to an other injury... HE really needs to retire or his health will be a BIG problem later. A part from Karlsson you have literally 0 RD, like zero, nada.
Also, IF Letang plays you have Mailloux as a #5-6 which is ideal for next year imo.

And then you have Beck to develop as #4 next year with Crosby under his wing</div></div>

There are zero reports that I’ve seen that Letang isn’t playing next year. He is likely getting surgery and will definitely play next year. As for not having any RD outside of Letang and Karlsson…tell us you didn’t watch the pens without telling us. St. Ivany played after Ruhwedel got traded and did really well. The pens could also pickup a 6/7 RD in free agency. There is no need to trade their best prospect for a guy that will at best only play as their 3rd pair d for the next 3-4 years.

Thread: Realistic Off-Season Blueprint
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_92</b></div><div>If Pittsburgh really saw as much in Poulin as you’re saying then he’d have played more games before he was 23. That’s generally the territory where you wanna know what you have in a guy especially when he’s a 1st round pick of yours.
They have guys like Puljujarvi, Benstrom, and Puustinen that could all be sent down and give Poulin a shot right now.
I’m not saying he’s a for sure guy to be traded, but I don’t think Pens new management is as high as you think they are on Poulin.
Agree to disagree at this point.</div></div>
Again learn about the player before making an ignorant statement. The reason he hasn’t played more games is because he literally missed almost all of last season because after 3 games from being sent up here, he had to go deal with a mental health issue and took a leave of absence. He is now getting himself back to game speed this year and guess what? He literally just got called up. 2nd, no Puustinen can’t be sent down because Puustinen is a regular part of the lineup and doing well himself. Puljujarvi and Bemstrom are literally in and out of the lineup…so again he isn’t going to come up and be a healthy scratch or be in and out of the line up. They’ve got guys like Puljujarvi, Bemstrom, Harkins (when healthy), Gruden, etc that can do that. He’s either going to be up here to play or he will play in WBS because they are playing for the playoffs down there. 3rd Poulin just got called up…so congratulations, you played yourself. 4th that nonsense about having to play more games by 23 or you’re basically a bust to the organization is just that…nonsense. Puustinen didn’t get significant time with the team til this year after turning 24. Now he’s been playing in the top 9 ( mostly on Geno’s line). So to sum it up, if the team moves on from him in the summer, it’s for a similar prospect as a prospect swap, or to recoup a pick.
