Thread: This teams looks great
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I don't know about that. That 3rd pairing could be just as bad if not worse and Jankowski could be horrible.
All I know is JR has done an awful job. I mean people on this board put hundreds of much better moves for this team. And the cap hits were all good on those players.
He clearly learned nothing from his past dumb decisions. And as far as I'm concerned signing Ceci is damn near unforgivable. If I see one press conference about, how Ceci really isn't that bad and it's the rest of the team I'm gonna slap him.</div></div>

I mean there’s risks in any signing. Any free agent could be horrible. But I think at worst, Jankowski will be at least a defensively responsible bottom 6 center. I didn’t get Ceci when TVR went for 800k. I’d have rather had TVR for 1 million to pry him from the caps than Ceci for 1.25 million. I think he should have waited to see if Vatanen would have fallen into our price range, because Ceci would have still been there after Vatanen gets taken.

If you are the opposing team ready to eat that 3rd pairing alive with that weak bottom 6. We have a full time AHL 3RD and 3 13th skaters on that bottom 6.
That's not going to end well.</div></div>

Yeah but they will still likely be in that 2nd-4th in the division range. I mean this team is better than what we started with last year. Kapanen &gt; Simon on the top line. Zucker &gt; Hornqvist in the top 6. McCann back on wing &gt; McCann at center and likely &gt; Kahun at wing. Jankowski at center is at worst = McCann at center. And having Sceviour, ERod, and Lafferty as depth until ZAR gets back is pretty decent. Matheson &gt; JJ. And with how bad Schultz kinda was last year, I can’t see Ceci being much worse lol. The only big downgrade is Murray to DeSmith.

Thread: Pens trade Letang
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Cost and age considered, I'd take Pesce over Letang any day of the week. Letang might be slightly "better" now, but in a trade that's not all you look for. Letang is 34. Trochek, in his last full season (17-18) , scored 75 points. Petterson's top season was 25 points (yes, I realize he is a defenceman), Pesce is considered to be one of the best defencive defenceman in the game. Zac Aston Reese is worth less than a second. What more do you want.</div></div>

Letang is a lot better. If a gm is trading for Letang, they are looking to win now and not a few years down the road. If the pens are trading Letang, it’s to blow it up and rebuild. Cool story with Trochek, however he played just as much of a season as everyone else last year and still scored less than Letang (a defenseman), while playing 1 more game than tanger. Not to mention Trochek had 58% offensive zone starts (by far the most in his career) and still only managed 38 points. Had they played an 82 game season, he scores maybe 45 points at the rate he was at. I don’t care what he did 3 years ago. If we aren’t going to base Letangs value from his last full season, then why should we do it for Trochek?
Petterson is a solid two way defenseman. His stats are comparable to Pesce.
What more do I want? To not lose trades in a major way lol
