Thread: Are any of these players available
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>your thoughts on what LAK would want for PLD?</div></div>

I'm not sure there's a good way to answer that question. He's not worth what the Kings would need to get in order to consider trading him. Blake has essentially gone all-in on PLD being at least a top quality 2C, and if that doesn't come to fruition, then he's likely going to lose his job.

So if Blake is still the GM (if he gets fired this summer, then all bets are off), I think he needs to get a return comparable to what he paid to consider moving him. A 2nd round pick, a solid middle-six winger on a reasonable contract, and a young quality top-six player.

I again emphasize that he's not worth that return, but that's what it would take.

Thread: 24 pens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>legit bro, then every time i or one of the few semi rational poster try to legitimately find a trade match or solution and mention some prospect we don't know anything about the entire site melts down and says we're all dumb... i at least admit my lack of knowledge around prospects especially, and other teams depths at certain positions and what their big needs are... lol :tearsofjoy i just try to be creative in a non-insane way...</div></div>

I try to share insight with our roster when someone makes an honest attempt with their trade proposals. That's how we all learn about another team's roster makeup and depth chart. Other times when zero effort is put into it I end up coming across as a smug salty old man yelling "get off my lawn" lol. I appreciate when someone makes an actual attempt to view a trade from both sides that doesn't include stuff like "helps Chicago get to the cap floor" or "veteran to play with Bedard". There's a point where fun turns into insulting another team's fanbase and aside from St. Louis and Vancouver, I wouldn't want to do that to anyone.

Thread: Can PIT fans agree on these things moving forward
Dubas signed a 7 year deal for a reason. We all know that its over for the Pens and what a great two decades its been. But the organization clearly set out a plan with the core and Dubas coming in as GM. Two years trying to strike gold with Sid and the core and 5 years to build again, hence the 7 years. Its year one of that. Expect a quiet offseason with short term deals to some Vets and younger players looking for a shot. They will be keeping all draft picks moving FWD. After next season the Pens will likely be making similar moves that Montreal has been making.

Is this the best thing for the organization? Maybe, the best thing might be trading their best assets now for a massive return and advancing the rebuild several years but none of us realistically expect that.
