Thread: Winning Now and Rebuilding for the Future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>Do you not believe the two players I have playing with Sid can score more than 40 goals? Sid made Guentzel and Sheary. Obviously Sheary has been exposed since and Jake has proven he can play but do you think he’s ever sniffing 40 goals again when he’s not playing with 87? I think two first round wingers in their early 20s with Sid is dangerous, not to mention Malkin getting Zucker and Rust as linemates. Kunin gives us another RH shot in the top six. Singing Haula gives us an actual 3rd line C unlike McCann who’s a LW and he’s great at face offs. The blue line is better. Marino will improve and Shattenkirk can score around 40 points playing the kind of minutes Letang logs. Gustafsson and Montour would be a second pair on most teams. Then you get Greiss as a reliable 1B to Jarry. This team isn’t going out in round one</div></div>

no one does, and Sid didn't make Jake. Jake was a great goal scorer before he ever played with Sid. He lit up the WBS and Nebraska all on his very own. He didn't need anyone to carry him.

Thread: Leafs want Murray This is what it will take
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>This is a funny troll. The rumours have been swirling of a Murray for Andersen trade. I don’t really understand it. Would assume that pens flipp Freddy. But no... leafs aren’t taking your garbage.</div></div>

why do you continue to try to pretend click bait has any factual basis behind it. There are no "rumours" for Murray and Andersen. There is a guy who knows he can rile up Leafs fans and watch him gain all kinds of click and ad money.

Just stop feeding into this sheep cycle.

There is no point at all in the penguins obtaining Andersen. None.
They have 2 goalies if they trade Murray. And Murray is much easier to trade for assets whatever than Andersen who will be 31 years old.

Thread: COVID Cap Casualties
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Newcort0</b></div><div>Yep..depressing thoughts. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.</div></div>

like I would 100% rather embrace a full rebuild and trade absolutely everyone rather than be a mediocre team for another year and barely make the playoffs. The Pens motto should be to go for it until it is no longer physically possible to do so. Crosby/Malkin/Letang/Jake is still one of the best cores in the NHL. We can get another cup out of this group with the right offseason moves. This is the biggest test of Rutherfords career. He has to retool this team and inject a young, speedy forward to ride shotgun with Crosby on the right side, stabilize the 3rd line with a proper 3C, fix the dreaded bottom pairing D, figure out the goalie situation, and shed the dead weight of Hornqvist/Johnson/JJ

Thread: Offseason with the Murray trade rumor
I'm no PIT fan, but why do they do that?

Anderson, has poor value right now after the poor playoffs and pretty pedestrian year, and oh yeah, hes a 5mil UFA.

I think hes taking the load of blame right now even though the entire team was pretty mediocre all year long, forwards don't forecheck/backcheck, defense is weak, the firewagon offense system is flawed, but Anderson is by far the best goalie in the system and don't think you get a goalie of equal talent/ability straight up in trade.

If anything they trade Anderson for peanuts and use his monies to pick up a UFA goalie. (The point being what team is desperate in the OFF season to trade for an older 5mil UFA goalie, when theres similar in UFA).

And while I like the UFA signings for their defensive ability, size and grit, none of those deals are even close to market value (Gudas goes from 3mil+ to 1mil? Engelland doesn't retire to VGS and signs for 700k?)
