Thread: Penguins probable lines rn
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchMarnerElite </b></div><div>What don’t you agree with?</div></div>

Sheary is a borderline ECHL player? He's driven possession on a terrible Sabres team (playing with Vesey and Johansson) and Kahun is not a legitimate top-6 forward. Someday, maybe. But he's already 24 so he's not exactly a top prospect either. Sheary's underlying data is better than Kahun's (possession/shot generation/etc) while playing on a bad team (yet still one of their better players). I'm not exactly ****ting rainbows over the trade, but to get two versatile players for 1 who we likely couldn't re-sign this off-season is still pretty decent work. Especially with Aston-Reese out indefinitely, Rodrigues is also a perfect player to slot in for him.

Thread: Desmith for depth What do you think Colorado
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nights_King93</b></div><div>I'd bet money that they retain Murray and Jarry this offseason. Remember they are RFAs. Unless they trade one for a great haul, they will be there for the Pens to try two more cup runs before Sid and Geno fall off.</div></div>

Let me know the last time having 2 goaltenders combining for over $10 mil has worked. Pens aren't that stupid, nor do they have the cap. Already gave Petterson a $3.1 mil raise, and they have to pay McCann, Kahun, Lafferty, Simon, and if they don't sign Riikola or Ruhwedel they need to sign a 6th dman. Schultz is going to be gone, and even if the cap goes up by $2mil, they are entering the off-season with $14.5 million in cap space. Try and make that work, I'm all ears.

Yea I like Granlund, but don't see it happening with 1. What he's valued at right now and 2. Roster spots open on the Pens - There's something to having young &amp; hungry players in your lineup come playoff time and we don't have many spots left. Need 2-3 players who haven't been there before that will run around like they're high on cocaine. I like the idea of Kahun, ZAR (I'll still classify him here), Blueger for sure. Then next guys in being young guys willing to die for a playoff W, and i'm not crazy about his size/speed and if he'd be a fit.

Thread: face offs and grit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I don't mind it, don't know if they would do it.

I have to say having saw that TB game last night. WTF was the speed so many people say Zucker has?
He looked like he was average speed on the penguins. People made him out like he had Tanev speed.
Of course I already knew this. So many teams claim their players are fast but you drop them next to speed guys and it's like yeah, he's average. It's the same thing with the wingers coming out of LA. Buyer beware.</div></div>

Totally with you. He didn't show it last night, but for me he moreso just looked like he was playing hesitant vs. slow. I would have preferred we target Kreider, but need to give this guy a hand full of games before dissecting his game.
