Thread: Panthers Big Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>I wouldn't do that pitts trade, I know how good malkin is when hes engaged but that seems to be the thing right. hes 32 misses 10 to 20 games a season and is kinda a little baby. Plus its Barkovs team and malkin wants to be "the guy". hubbs had a great year and is 25 and under a great contract. sure get malkin but trade trocheck not hubbs</div></div>

Trocheck has a very valuable contract and would help if FLA signs Panarin. Malkin doesn't want to be the guy. Has said so multiple times and why he has never requested a trade or threatened to go back to Russia. He likes being a #2 he is just stubborn in the way he plays. Would be a great fit in FLA behind Barkov. Including Kessel in with the trade would be interesting. Not sure Pens would trade those two as a combo but the return in this trade is good.

Thread: if kessel is on the market
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>biglite351</b></div><div>Besides getting a RHD and getting a Staal in a Pens jersey (which a lot of fans seem to think is a necessity), how does this trade make the Pens "better"? How does this trade not make the Pens "worse"?</div></div>

well Staal is a HOFer and their 2nd leading scorer since he arrived in Minnesota. 161 points in 191 games (80 goals) dont think Brassard is going to reach that mark.
Maata is a great defender, smart and young but slow. GMJR signed Oleksiak and Johnson and have Riikola playing solid. Be good to get a RH veteran guy s who has averaged over 30 pts on the blue line the past 4 seasons.
Niederreiter played himself into a contact a couple seasons back with 25 goals and 57 points. no where close to the Kessel level but need to get a RW back in return.

I am not for trading Kessel, but if he is getting shopped I do feel like playing in Minnesota would be a preference.

Thread: PIT-FLA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yinz3r</b></div><div>giving up way too much not only are you giving up sprong, the teams best trade chip, you're also giving up jarry who will be a good starter in the league eventually. as well as two good roster players and a first. not worth getting rid of our future for two decent players. Trocheck would be the 4th C . even if he plays RW he is still on the 4th line .</div></div>

Jarry "could" be a starter but he isnt going to sit behind Murray his whole career especially if Pens re-sign Murray to a monster contract. Trocheck is 25!!! He is older than 3 forwards on our team. Simon, Sprong and Guenztel. When was the last time a 1st round draft made the opening day roster on offense. It will be 3 years before they make an impact and Sid and Geno and in the win now stage. Their windows are closing in three years. Plus Sprong not fitting in with Sullys plans. FLA has ton a talent and Trocheck probably their 2nd best player behind Barkov. Thats why a 1st rounder not a 2nd. Unbelievable talent and great cap hit for 4seasons for a 1st line winger or center after brass leaves next year.

Thread: 2nd year overhaul
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VRCR</b></div><div>Haulas an almost 60 point scorer (on the third line by the way) that can play center and wing that would still be 27 by this time. Haula/Belle/2nd/3rd is pretty close.
Also, I seriously doubt Theodore is getting moved after the season he is about to have, and especially not for Spurgeon.</div></div>

The Penguins love players that can play center and wing and they gain cap room. Vegas gets Kessel an elite scorer that is known to free lance a bit which Gallant lets his players go and play their game. I think the tatar trade didn't plan as they hoped, seeing that he wasn't even an everyday player after arriving there. The Spurgeon trade was trying to get a right hand shot and not having to pay 11mil a year for karlsson.
