Thread: Roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IgorKutchakokov</b></div><div>Yeah I mean that's fair - I just kinda would like to see (and I think it could be a very good 3rd line) Rust-Brass-Sprong given a shot. The NHL is constantly changing (Caps won with an Burakovsky-Eller-Connoly 3rd line) - I think that a second line of Hagelin-Malkin-Kessel allows Kessel to be offensive minded still and could be dominant, and that 3rd line I mentioned gives Sprong the leash to just go and score goals and allows the Pens to have their best 9 players all in the top 3 lines.. I'm sure we'll see combinations of everything, especially in the first couple months and with GMJR's comments about Brass at LW - but that's just my $.02</div></div>

Yeap makes sense. Brassard-Sprong could be considered as a weak chain by now but Rust could make it better. But I think Rust is better as a RW... Anyway if that line proves itself why not?

Thread: Trade with Pens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IgorKutchakokov</b></div><div>Yes but Patch is also a UFA after this year.. Penguins have hardly any Defensive depth, so I would be EXTREMELY hesitant to include Olli in a trade. I also don't agree with the analysis that Patch is far and away the best player in the trade. 67 points the most he's ever put up in a season (though his goal scoring record over the years is fantastic) and he's coming off a really poor year. Penguins are in win-now mode, I can't see them giving up their always highly rated (internally) 3rd line center AND second pairing Dman for Patch, I just can't.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mardzy</b></div><div>Pacioretty is a pending UFA as well though, so unless the deal is happening knowing an extension has been signed, I'm not sure he holds as much value as you're thinking, especially after his down season.
Pacioretty as pending UFA = Maata</div></div>

Pacioretty with Crosby or Malkin though and you have a 40 goal guy. I know he is a UFA but Pittsburgh needs some cap relief and Brassard and Matta gives them that. Plus I don’t think it would ever be just Pacioretty going back, Pittsburgh could easily pluck one of our young cheap wingers or defenceman with him. Just don’t think Montreal accepts a trade with Pacioretty in it without getting a pick or two back and with Pittsburgh it would have to be both teams moving a package, those packages would just center around Pacioretty and Matta.
