I agree with Edmundson I like his play. A lot of people think he’s another Dumoulin though which I don’t see cause Edmundson is way more physical then Dumo.
Wheeler is questionable I like it but is he too slow for Sully.

Thread: Dubas new home Future Stanley cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>Your UFAs are decent - although I think slight overpays on Mayfield and Bunting.

The trades though........ the trades. Why in the world are we dumping Rust to trade for Anderson and giving Blackwood 4mil AAV? Plus all the teams minus NJD probably deny the trades anywyays.</div></div>

Anderson would help our 1st or 2nd line.
Trading away Granlund, Rutta, Carter, Rust and Poulin are guys that need to be traded in order to get better and faster.

Rust only shows himself in spurts. Rextall over paid for him when he’s not a consistent player.
Acquiring Mantha just helps with getting Anderson maybe not in the way I did it but someway the organizations can make it work. Mantha is wanted by Montreal and Pittsburgh wants Anderson.

Blackwood most likely will hit free agency and prolly won’t have to lose a 5th for him but I think Blackwood has potential to be the guy somewhere.

Idk what teams are gonna pay for some of the free agents but I strongly feel that those all could be guys they try a target.

Compher is fast not cheap but fast.

Mayfield and Hathaway bring all the toughness.

Bunting brings fast and gritty play an can play on the top 2 lines.

Thread: Can we fix it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyfan1234</b></div><div>Rust definitely gives his all 110% of the time lol. And all those players you brought in are 4th liners. You’re trading guys that do more giving 50% effort for guys that do less giving 110% effort. That’s silly. Not to mention wildly overpaying them. I mean those contracts are worse than Hextall’s lol</div></div>

So you think Rust gives it his all. 20 goals this year after getting a huge contract. He doesn’t score those goals with the help of Crosby and Malkin. He is a 3rd liner at best. He hardly ever hits and I’ve seen the guy skate fast and he just doesn’t like 75% of the time. We need more aggressive players that play hockey and not the way that they don’t want to hit or be hit.

Thread: Can we fix it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyfan1234</b></div><div>You forgot to trade Crosby for a 6th round pick, Malkin for Radek Faksa, and Letang for an 8th round pick. If we are just giving away players for garbage, might as well go all the way.</div></div>

That’s the point of getting the guys I traded for those guys on the ice go out 110% all the time. There’s no quit in them. Guentzel was mainly for a 1st, Rust plays about 75% of the time. Wood goes hard every game an he will stand up for your team. Domi same thing and playing with Crosby or Malkin willing to fight an he will score. Roslovic is aggressive an will provide the 3rd line with intensity. Both Ritchie’s bring heart and toughness and proven they can score. Graves provides the back end toughness along with Brown. Dumba can score an hit an also move the puck a skate. Vejmelka is gonna be a winning goalie may even be better than Jarry. So who’s garbage?

Thread: Sully and Hextall fired
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WesternMass</b></div><div>Why would Sullivan get the axe? Not saying he’s at his peak by any means but that just seems unlikely.</div></div>
From 2000 to 2023 the Penguins have missed the playoffs 5 times. How many coaching changes happened between those years? The point being made of firing him is that the Penguins no longer get the motivation from Sully. He may be a good coach and coach guys to play the right way which is you get punched in the mouth don’t punch back. Hockey is not that type of sport you need guys to play as a team fight for each other and it’s ok to fight it’s ok to be super aggressive and play a gritty game. Sully does not coach that way an he’s trying to change the game to all offense. You need defensemen to clean the trash out of the front of the net.

Thread: Rebuild and get rid of the cavities idc how long then been a penguin
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Instead of laughing at your trades, I'll only underline that your team is stuck with it old glories and competitiveness will continue to fade further away until long after they retire.

Having not won a round since 2018, everybody outside of Pittsburgh knew it was a mistake to resign Letang and Malkin instead of selling high at last year TDL. But hey, people still pay to go see them, so Hextall didnt need to rebuild. Now it's too late.

Enjoy as is. There is no miracle making this team a contender in the next decade.</div></div>

I have to agree with that. I said that the first time they got knocked out of the first round. The head coach doesn’t like anybody with a nasty side to their game it’s all about making the pretty passes.

I’ve been watching penguins hockey since 92 so I’ve witness greatest and great players to the worst and just OK players. I also watch other teams and games being played and there are so many players playing with more intensity and grit than what I have seen the penguins play. I just don’t understand what the organization see’s in the GM and head coach to live with a team like this. Yes Crosby, Malkin and Letang but this is a business not a friendship they need to move 2 of them.
