This guy wants superstars back for rentals ..what he fails to realize is if Guentzel gets traded that's a clear indication that management is changing course . And the new priority is to acquire assets for the future .

The Penguins btw are going to need all the lottery tickets they can get . Guentzel is a rental for a team. Strictly a rental . You aren't going to rebuild the Pens with a Guentzel trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PenGoater99</b></div><div>Lmao that's a garbage offer Guentzel. Foegele is the most intriguing piece which is saying something.

Holloway is 22 and can't produce at all in the NHL and the 1st round pick is basically a lottery ticket.</div></div>

Settle .....young one . 22 is very young for a pro hockey player in the best league in the world .. He is in the infancy of likely a long career. Not all 1st rounders are stars by the time they are 22. Most are not . Many aren't even in the league yet. Their is a lot more runway with this player . You show how naive you are thinking Foegle is a better asset than Dylan Holloway.

I'll go you one better . Tarasenko to the Oilers for a first and upgrade that 4th to a third if Edmonton wins a championship.

Thread: Retool

The real gem there is two proven NHL players , one of which ( Frost ) could mature into a really good player for a totally unproven fairly low profile ( being kind there ) major junior player..

Thread: Wishful Thinking

If I'm the Pens GM I'm really liking it . As an Oiler Gm I don't make that trade ..Imo Holloway matures into a real nice middle six player . I don't see a problem with Dowd / Edmundson, but Debrusk would likely cost a 1st and Kulak with a mid round or B prospect coming back

Thread: Cup champs 24

Ok. What is " So much " ? Elvis isn't Bernie Parent . Trey Fix is likely a tweener . Campbell has had past success. His problem is not age related. And you get a couple plumb picks and a promising young goalie who has shown improvement year over year . Maybe you aren't critically thinking about this ? It does come off as a rather quick thought less reaction. I could be wrong . I don't make deals to " win " . Of course I want it to improve my team incrementally. But if I was out to sack your team , well u wouldn't take my calls now would you ? I urge you to take a couple of moments if possible and let me know your thoughts. Thank you* CORRECTION* This deal was meant to include G Oliver Rodrigue to Columbus , oversight ..forgot to include him. Apologies for any confusion

Thread: Dubas Fleece

So the basic fundamental behind a trade(most trades ,certainly the ones proposed here)and this may come as a shock to you , is I have a surplus of X and you have a surplus of Y . Let's see if we can move some assets around certainly to benefit my team but I hope the deal is in line with what your organization is prioritizing at this time. The idea is not to " fleece" your colleagues. You want to have a recipricol relationship with all the leagues GM's . Therefore they are more likely to do business with you sometime in the future. If you're looking to " fleece" you are not going to have a lot of your calls returned therefore limiting your own chance of becoming a better franchise.This is not Xbox .

You don't know they won't have the cap space . And why wouldn't they have the "need" for a rugged hometown kid who can contribute . Play up and down the lineup .

Do you see many Oiler games ? Or are you very familiar with Barrie's history ? Dude ...he's a PP specialist . And the only way you would know anything you said is if you were an executive with the Devil's .

Stuart Skinner is waiver eligible starting next season. He will be on the big club full stop. Now wether you want to roll out Mike Smith with Skinner is another matter .
