Thread: Third Line Center and Laine
I think Rust and Poulin and the 1st and 2nd is enough. They are getting a 28 year old, top 6 RW, in Rust(who scored 27 goals and 56 points in 55 games last year). Getting a top prospect in Poulin(who is NHL ready) and a 1st and 2nd round pick. That’s the going rate for a star player. A top 6 Foward or top 4 D-man, a top prospect, and a 1st round pick. I think adding Petersson is alittle bit of an overpay. I guarantee the Jets would take B.Rust, S.Poulin, and a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick.

Rust scored 27 goals last year and 56 points in 55 games last year. Laine Scored 28 goals and 63 points in 68 games. For anyone to think Rust would entice WPG is crazy. Plus Poulin who is a top 50 prospect in NHL and is NHL ready. Plus a 1st and 2nd for Laine who is a stud but a FA after next year too.

Thread: Pens 20-21need young and oldyouth and experience
I think Poulin is a LW. Hes definitely a left-handed shot. And that usually makes for more comfort and most coaches putting you on the left side. I doubt he plays RW except in some short stints on line mix-ups.

In 2016-17. Our 1st line was Kuntiz(who wasn’t getting paid as much as Zucker) and Hornquist. Our 2nd line was for sure Guentzel/Malkin/Rust(sometimes D.Simon or Connor Sheary, who both were on cheap deals also). Which left Kessel and Haglin on our 3rd line(yes, Kessel played on the 2nd line w/ Malkin at the beginning of the season, but come play-offs, it was all Rust). Our 4th line was Simon or Sherry/M.Cullen/E.Fuhr. And Oli Maatta was also on a entry-level deal at the time. Which like I said, was the reason we were able to have such big names on our 3rd line. You can’t pay all top 6 Fowards and expect to have players like Kessel and Haglin on your 3rd line. You need that youth too. You especially need the youth’s cheap entry level contracts.

Legare was one of our top prospects in last years training camp. His defense wasn’t a problem. And isn’t a problem. He’s good in the defensive zone and has a great shot. What is lacking is his skating. But being 6’0, 210pounds makes up for that. Being strong makes up for being a fast skater. I think you have to give Legare a chance to be ready. He’s a RW, right-handed shot, really good on the power play. And w/ Janko being more of a defensive-minded Center. Having 2 scoring wings on his side is a good mix. And like I said, Legare isn’t bad in the defensive Zone. Neither is McCann. And our 4th line is our top defensive line anyways that usually plays the other teams top line defensively. And Legare wont be used on the PK. Janko will with Tanev and Blueger. And obviously Z.A.R when he comes back and healthy.

Thread: Pens trade Letang
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Pesce is the most overrated player on this site. Hes a good player sure but hes a secondary player. He is best when he has a top player to play with. Hes had the luxury of playing with better defenceman in a system that benefits his playing style. On his own? Hes a 2nd pair defenceman. Letang is still a top pair guy, not a terrific one but a good one still.</div></div>


Letang is 34 years old and scored 15 goals and had 29 assists and 44points in 61 games last year. And 25 minutes of ice time a game. When will Pesce ever do that? That’s Letang, last year, at 33.

U want to know what 32 years old was? 16 goals, 40 assists 56 points in 65 games, 25:58 ice time, plus/minus +13..good luck Pesce..never in his life. Not when he was 18 in High School.
