Thread: A Penguins Prospect Pyramid even though we dont have very many

Here’s another article/list that has him right behind Maniscalco and ahead of Blomqvist, Bjorkqvist and Clang. Lafferty is 25 years old, and not on this List. But Puustinen would still be ahead of Lafferty too IMO.

Again: I’d go;

Poulin “A”
PO-Joseph “A-“(a top 100 prospect on any list out there)
Legare “B”

OConnor, Maniscalco, Puustinen “B-“

Blomqvist, Clang, C.Lee, Lafferty “C+”

Bjorkqvist, Angello, Svejkovsky, C.Caulfield, Almeida, E.Larmi, Bellerive, R.Zohorna “C”

Anything less than that would be a “C-“ or a “D”. Very doubtful NHL future.</div></div>

thx for the feedback!

Thread: Pens trade Blues
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PGHBOB69</b></div><div>We’ll see. Just a difference of opinions. I’d be willing to bet he scores 20 plus goals this year in 62 game season though.

IMO it wasn’t a lack of leadership by the leafs. I’m a A.Matthews and M.Rielly fan!! Its a lack of veteran leadership. And I love the leafs off season. I think Thorton, Bogasian, Simmons will have a big impact on that locker room. And Anyone; analysts, beat writers, etc., would say The Leafs had a lack of leadership last year too. But like I said, I don’t think it was that as much as, a young locker room. It’s just different; a locker room full of your peers, players your own age. Than a locker room full of adults, with families and kids and HOF-ers, and Stanley Cup champions. If u don’t think it is a difference, then I don’t know, all I can say is, it is.

But again, I Iove the leafs offseason. They addressed the lack of leadership or youth in the locker room with Thornton, Bogasain, and Simmons. Addressed their toughness with Thornton, Bogasian, Simmons, Vesey. Addressed their lack of NHL depth with Thornton, Vesey, Simmons, Barabnov, Joey Anderson. Addressed their defense with Brodie, Bogasian, Lehtonen, resigning Dermott. I think they had a great offseason. And the taxi squad really helps them out!!</div></div>

I think more than anything the problem with TO has been their youth, they still are so young and have a lot to learn. Urgency comes from experience and it'll come together. I think this year they will be out for blood and in the North Division there will be much to be had.

I’m have to have my keepers in my fantasy league in tonight. I think I’m gonna have to let u go of Stamkos. 4 skaters and 1 goalie. I’m keeping Geno, Laine, E.Pettersson, and D.Larkin. Letting Stamkos go. It’s either him or Larkin. Stamkos has been on my team for about 6-7 years now. I need confirmation I’m doing the right thing..lol.</div></div>

yeah sure bc Stamkos had been hurt a ton....

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PGHBOB69</b></div><div>Zucker never played one game at RW. I googled it. And can’t find one game where Guentzel started on a line as a RW. Sorry!! I wish it was there bud!! I have no problem saying I’m wrong. Like I said, I’m not super familiar with Zucker yet. But I just spent the last 10 minutes googling and reading more articles about him.</div></div>

Sorry, but you are wrong. I live in Minneapolis and follow them. He played on a Parise-Staal-Zucker for a good ole while. Google harder or don't bother and just trust me here. Another useful tip: Yahoo sports only gives a guy LW/RW after they get in 10 games as both on a lineup card I believe.

No offense, I am not trying to come off as a jerk. Just sure on this

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PGHBOB69</b></div><div>Ahh. My pet peeve man!! U play any sports growing up besides Hockey?? <a href="/users/pharrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@pharrow</a> ?? Or like and follow any other sports and are as knowledgeable about them as u are hockey??</div></div>

I mean when I was much younger I played american football and Basketball, like 12-14 years old. I was tall so that was just natural. But By the time I was 15 it was just hockey. Took too much time up and my parents had got me the equipment which was kind of a huge expense on them so I stuck with it.
I admittedly watch a lot of Europe football, Rugby, and hurling when in Ireland. But those are the main sports on TV here. Everyone watches those.

Thread: Pens trade Dallas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PGHBOB69</b></div><div>I agree. Faksa is signed long term to a good deal. Great two-way Center. Perfect for the Pens 3rd line. Like Staal and Bonino were. The best would be Cirelli, lol. But that’s a pipe dream. I think this is actually a possibility. Dallas has 3C to replace him. He’s expendable to them. They have Ty Dellandrea who is NHL ready and should be up this year or next. They have Dickinson on their roster right now that is a good 3C. I think Raksa could be had.</div></div>

they are also historical trade partners but they have to build the team going forward knowing the expansion draft. POJ is an asset that is exempt. That's why if they do this, next year.
I don't think we see a lot this year. I think anyone who knows this team knows that playoffs might not be happening this year. They start so slow. They don't know how to get it together at the beginning of the season. They got a rhythm to get all cylinders firing at the end of the season. You mess with the timing, you end up in a wreck. I don't think this team finishes well this year, and I think they know that to.
