Thread: Where do they finish

My guess is 2nd wild card. Could see as high as 3rd in the metro if things go well, and as low as like 10th in the East if they don't

Thread: Prepare the army Pt 1

Assuming the Pens can take on that much cap space at the deadline - that's a trade I can see them making.

Thread: Nylander trade to please Willy

I would probably take that if they can make the cap work. I don't think Nylander even makes the team - Timmins could compete with Ruhwedel for 3rd pair RD/7th dman

Thread: Laffy heads back home

Because of the way the Pens d core is set up - this probably wouldn't be enticing to them. Pettersson will most likely be top pair LHD, and Brodie would be 3rd pair RHD. They need Pettersson to play the defensive game with Karlsson or Letang

Idk man - that's a pretty easy yes for the Pens in my eyes. But Carter definitely blocks like you said - and I don't see DET accepting the trade anyway

Agreed - which makes it even more of a possibility. Will be interesting to see what kind of cap space there is though

Thread: Every Teams Worst Contract per Bleacher Report

I feel like this list isn't as terrible as people are making it out to be. Just because someone is the worst contract on a team doesn't automatically make it a terrible contract

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MountRoyal</b></div><div>The Pens 4th line will probably get filled in by better opponents but given the strength of the top 9, they might not play much.

Honestly the 3rd line is what worries me in this lineup lol. That 4th line actually looks pretty decent for a 4th line.

Thread: Bounce back

Definitely looks like a better roster than last year. Forwards look slightly better. Defense a lot better - that's a solid d core. The only place I see any regression is goaltending since Desmith is better than Ned. But a slight downgrade at backup goalie isn't that big of an issue imo.

Should be right in the wild card contention. There's going to be a lot of teams there though so it'll be a battle for sure. The more I think about it I don't think it's crazy for them to sneak into 3rd either - although I'm still not expecting it. They were essentially tied with the Rangers last year at the TDL - the Rangers just made moves to improve the team and the Pens didn't. But the Pens definitely improved more in the offseason than NYR.

Thread: My Lines

Interesting take. For me personally the 4th line worries me a bit. I don't think Nylander or Puustinen fit 4th line duties/roles too well. I actually think the 4th line last year was pretty good, better than this imo. But sometimes players just click together, so who knows. If we knew Sully would give the 4th line ozone starts, that might change things for me. But I don't see him doing that

Thread: Get a 1st rounder in

I can't say definitively it wouldn't work - because sometimes players just develop good chemistry together. I would say it's probably highly unlikely though. I imagine Poulin is probably behind Eller, Acciari and Carter in the depth chart for C. Maybe even White as well. Especially given what happened with Poulin last season. Hopefully he can rebound and maybe make a case to be there in the middle of the season.

Unfortunately I'm not sure Tatar qualifies for a contract with bonuses. I'd give Puljujarvi a shot though

Thread: Pens Fans Dream Team of all Old Decling Players - Ill Never understand it

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I don't think the "new additions" you made for the Pens are bad value. It's the real long term contracts that were made by Pens GMs that may not be good value. Rakell, Rust, Graves, Letang, Jarry, Karlsson,</div></div>

In like 3-4 years those contracts will probably be bad value if production drops and the cap doesn't go up a ton - but the Pens maybe have a 2 year window at best anyway so it doesn't really matter. As of right now all those contracts are fine value

Thread: Pens Fans Dream Team of all Old Decling Players - Ill Never understand it

Not really correct though - Pens fans just dream of fielding the best roster possible and aren't obsessed with age like you are. Pens were the 3rd oldest team in the league when they won in 16-17 - never had 10-12 regulars 25 yo or younger in either cup run. Vegas was the 6th oldest team in the league last year - only had 5 regulars 25 years old your younger. TBL had the 5th and 6th oldest rosters in their back to back cup runs. There's no prerequisite for number of young players you need to win or average age that you need to be under to win a cup. What matters is putting the best team possible on the ice.

If they can get better AND younger players, of course we would all be on board. But that's just not an option

Thread: MTL restarts the rebuild

If somehow the Pens have enough cap space at the deadline and they're in a playoff spot - I can see this being considered. As of right now - there's just no cap space

Pens have to get cap compliant as well. Don't think we're in a place to be paying for other teams cap casualties

Nieto was signed very early, so I doubt he's going to be on waivers. It'll be more guys like Pitlick, Johnsson, Nylander, etc imo

Thread: Top 10 underrated players

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JKCpp</b></div><div>What about Clayton Keller? And nurse he’s overpaid but doesn’t deserve all the hate he gets and also marner who consistently puts up better numbers than matthews but gets zero credit</div></div>

You can include Keller in the maybe category as well if you want. I just think he's pretty well regarded around the league and by fans though imo - I'd probably consider him properly rated. The hate Nurse gets is because he's overpaid though. People talk about how terrible his contract is. I don't think saying someone has a bad contract makes them underrated as a player.

Marner has been considered a top RW for years - he definitely doesn't get zero credit. Nor would I say he's a top 10 underrated player. Basically the way I'm looking at it is if you're regarded as a top 5 player at your respective position - I don't see how you can be considered one of the top 10 most underrated players in the league. Which would immediately knock out guys like Marner, Tkachuk, Draisaitl

Thread: Top 10 underrated players

Kuzmenko, Kempe, Hintz make sense. Maybe even Marchessault and Slavin. The rest are incredibly puzzling.
