Thread: solid team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>I am assuming you are referring to the interference penalty he took as the “bonehead play”, but I don’t even think it was a penalty. It initially looks like he caught him up high, but once you see the replay he didn’t and Lindgren just got outmuscled and fell. The great one, 99 also agreed with this statement on TNT and said it was a bad call.

I feel like he could get a bit closer to his crazy start than he did in the second half if he played Center which is his natural position. I also think carter should be moved to wing so it is kind of a win win positional swap.

I don’t hate giving a third line wing spot to a rookie because it allows you to go big game hunting elsewhere.

Thanks!</div></div>

Erod is definitely more productive at center but the 3c role has more defensive responsibilities (especially in the pens org). I do not remember off the top of my head but I feel like at the start of the season when Erod was a top 6 center he was not having as many dzone starts and receiving easier match up assignments as he would have if he was the 3c. I also think Malkin's contract will be a little bit more than 6.5. If that is the case not bringing back Erod is probably how the pens get that extra mil or half a mil. I am curious, have you posted a mock draft?

Thread: New Idea if Malkin is out long term
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dpellz90</b></div><div>Pettersson had the best shot and scoring chance suppression of any Pens d-man this season. Trading him would be a mistake. While there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to become more physical, you should be looking for players that bring value outside of their physicality, this is not the case with Zadorov.

ZAR even though he's a pending FA won't get too big of a contract. If I would guess, he wouldn't get more than 2.5M. While I found Zohorna as an interesting option, it is very unlikely he can provide the defensive value ZAR does</div></div>

I rather spend ZAR's 2mil on a goalie but that is just my preference. I get his shot suppression was good but he was so brutal at times in front of the net and corners which resulted in goals against, with Zad he should not get beat in front or in the corners nearly as easy as MP.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>First having to flip a player to get fair value in a trade you already made takes away from the value its not a selling point.

I do think Detroit says no but it's not about value it's about need. Detroit doesn't need any more wingers at this point so ZAR don't have a lot value from Detroit's pov. DeSmith doesn't really upgrade Detroit's goalie situation and I'm not saying he bad it just Detroit already 2 goalies on the same level.</div></div>

That's fair. My view was you will be getting better value from the picks you receive. The picks you will be giving up is in a draft where scouts had a tougher time getting out to see players. Was not entirely sure of the whole roster layout of the wings.
