What would it take for pens to get laine
Laine isn't a good player. Bad Possession stats, bad relative stats, teammates are worse when they play with Laine. not to mention he has a supposed bad attitude. I wouldn't trade Rust for Laine 1 for 1 salary caps aside. include the caps, and this is an atrocious trade. Laine has a sick shot, that's it.

Puljujarvi-Galchenyuk
There is really no reason to think that Sully doesn't like Galcheyuk. He is given great oppurtunity to succeed, hes just not getting the results right now. He and the rest of the penguins have had 1 healthy lineup this season. So the line jugglin is entirely due to that. Sullivan likes people that work hard, and while Galchenyuk hasn't performed on the scoresheet, i have never noticed him openly pout or play lazily. I actually think he has given a pretty decent effort .
And now that i think of it, you talk about not liking a player??? what coach is his right mind would want a player that flees the NHL because hes unhappy with his situation, that he brought on himself. Puljujarvi is a **** player with a **** attitude, thats why no one wants him.

And in his Prime, he isn't as good as Bjug, and isn't even a sure NHL player(because he only has 28 ****ing games), let alone a guaranteed "solid" 3rd line center. hes had 7 years to prove that he was ready, why hasn't he been called up before?
He had a CF% of 47.84. So he couldn't drive possession against 4th line players, that he is percieved to be better than. He had a GF% of 62.5 which is great, but can easily be explained by a PDO of 1.038.
Bjug is replaceable, but not with unproven AHLers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>it's not 20 games. it's been years of watching him play at both the international level and WBS. You don't watch hockey.
They guy was matched up with McDavid in Worlds and held his own. I'm not saying his McDavid but he's got skill. More than enough to hold his own. They did this with Sundqvist. They found every excuse in the world and sent him packing or keep him in WBS. What a mistake. Don't repeat it. They been keeping him down and WBS rotting. Anyone paying attention knows he's going to be a solid 3C.</div></div>
Dude youre living in a fantasy land. Come back to reality and realize not all prospects are great. I admit i think from the 28 games on the 4th line this year, i was impressed, When there is inevitably an injury, i am excited to see him on the 3rd line so that hopefully next year he can handle the 3rd. But dont pretend his 20 INT games with 9 pts and a -5 in 3 years is "holding your own".
We should be trying to get deeper down the middle, not trade away C's. If Teddy plays 4 C we are in a good spot with C depth. And if he shines, maybe, look at a trade mid season. But absolutely not before the season starts. But still that would leave us with **** at 4C , so I think no, not at any pt this year should be get rid of Bjugs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>He has constantly held his own against high level competition. His play on the international stage has shown he's ready for a larger role. They can't deny that at this point, they been holding him back in wbs for years.
Like I said, they made the mistake with Sundqvist, and that turned out to be awful move for the team. They need to avoid that here. If you watched him last year, you know he's way to talented to be on the 4th line. If you look at their 5v5 stats last year, not only does it not justify a 4 million salary over Blueger, but they are very close to being even. Bluegers stats are a little lower, but he got mostly 4th line minutes last year.
On top of it, he's a much faster player than Jugs. This is a team that want's to play with speed.
You add on top of it the need for cap space and this makes too much sense.
I like Jugs, I think he's a good player. But I think they do more damage holding Blueger back for him. Especially when you got another large body center to play the 4C and Nikita coming into the organization next year who should be given a long look at 4C as well.
You got to improve where you can, and I think this is how you get there.</div></div>
You act like he is this experienced C with 200 games under his belt. Its just not the case. We all want him to be good and be able to play 3rd line, you just don't know yet, he has 28 ****ing games and 5v5CF% of 48.21, not great but not terrible. If he is good enough, he should have above 50% even while playing with and against 4th line comp, thats just a fact, he should be driving play.
HYPOTHETICAL:
So you trade bjug, then inevitably, sid or geno goes down for 10 games. You want Teddy ****ing Bluegar manning your second line with something like less than 50 NHL games. Thats asinine to do something to let that happen just from one injury.
Penguins have success being strong down the middle. Don't thin it anymore than it needs to be.

You couldn't be more wrong. Centers are far more valuable than wingers. 8 4th Line centers does not count as Center depth, trochek is good, would be much better as a 3 C, and probably produces at the rate as Huberdeau if he is on wing of Barkov. Facts are, wingers are replaceable, generational centers are not.

What?! we have a more than capable 3C, good defensively and offensively, and you want to move him to wing for a player that has 28 NHL games. With that vast sample size, you have concluded, that he is "probably" ready for 3C role. We have an abundance of middle 6 wings and a shortage of centers and you want to bump one to wing? Blueger still needs to prove that he is NHL ready, let alone 3C ready. Hopefully he can be a great 4th line C this year, then make Bjugstand expendable next year.

Malkin is a generational talent, 98 pts last year, 3 times over 100, only one season under 1.0ppg. Huberdeau has 1 season over 1.0 ppg. Maybe in 2 years, if Malkin declines significantly. But until then, Malkin is worth more.

Didn't St. Louis come out and say they are listening to trades for any person? Including Tarasenko and Parakyo? I don't rememeber if I heard re-build, but when your willing to trade your 2 best players, it sounds an awful lot like a re-build.

Pens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I think the reason people say Sprong will be on Croby's line is that Kessel is on Malkin's right side.
That only leaves 2 two other spots open. 1RW and 3RW. No way he plays on the 4th line. I do see him on the 3RW position personally. Hags or Rust on the LW and Brass at center give him defensive help. He gives that line the offensive burst they need. The thing with Sprong is he needs to shoot the puck. The more he shoots the better he is. So the weakest offensive part of the line up is where a player like that should go.</div></div>
If Sprong shows that he isn't just a mouth breather defensively and that he is more than literally only a "sniper", yanno cycle the puck, play the boards, find the soft areas and crash the nets and find the rebounds. Then will no doubt play with Crosby. And if that happens ill be the first to admit that i was wrong, but the only thing I have ever heard about Sprong, is that he is a sniper, that is it. And how is 1st line, playing with Crosby the weakest Offensive part of the line-up? Assuming that Horny is there, which he will be.
Also, you don't design your line-up around an un-proven winger. You don't force Crosby to play with him just because you think Sprong may be top-6. You give the player that has been the face of the NHL, Penguins and City of Pittsburgh for the last decade, whatever he wants.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I like ZAR, he doesn't have the foot speed to play on those top 2 lines. You will see Rust on that 2nd line most likely. the 2LW and 3LW are between Rust and Hags. I think if hags struggles you will see ZAR in the 3LW and Hags on the 4th line..... if not traded out. I think their patients with him is slim at this point. He didn't do much of anything for half the year last year. I don't think they will be ok with that going forward.</div></div>
Agree, Rust and Hags are 2 and 3 LW with Horn 1 RW, Sprong may get decent time with Malkin, not with Crosby. Really blows my mind on here, can anyone name a single defensively inept sniper that Crosby has spent even clcose to signifigant time with...didn't play with Neal, doesn't play with Kessel,won't play with Sprong. ZAR will be the first to get top 9 time when someone is injured. And I think Hags has much more leeway than most realize, he is not expected to score, only by the media, hes a role player and he does his role better than about any other player in the league, forecheck like a manaic and eat up a ridiculous amount of PK time.

agreed, would like to see him only play the home games, give the entire 4th line time to rest during some of those games, not that they need it playing only 12 miinutes a game, but it would also give them a little box time to watch and learn.

Car Trade
Don't know much about Zaitzev but I know Toronto's defence was putrid in the playoffs, so it kind of seems like we lose that trade big time. Is Shultz a #1 no, but very close to a number 2 and definitely 2nd pairing. The way you laid it out forces JJ in the 2nd pair and I do not want the Pens to be forced into that position. Also, the Pens didn't pay Rust 3.5 with term, to put him on the 4th Line. In trading Brassard in any capacity changes us from "best down the middle in the league" to "bad center depth". I do like that you got rid of Simon, hes trash.
