Thread: Why is no one talking about Tyler Ennis
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MikeyThePensFan</b></div><div>Don’t get me wrong, Ennis is a miles better player than Sheary but you know what they have in common? Both are undersized &amp; you can’t win championships with those types of players. After the 2016 championship the league has caught up to the Pens’ speed &amp; agility. It’s best to go after the big fast hybrid wingers like Kreider.</div></div>

But we did win two Stanley cups with Sheary and we beat teams that were bigger than us on our way to those Stanley cups. I just watched the 2016 Stanley cup movie and literally every team we played the players said “they were a lot bigger than us and a lot more physical”. As long as we can roll 4 lines and play defense I don’t think the size of the forwards matters

Thread: Best Option For Getting Rid Of JJ
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>As a Kings fan, I certainly think the Kings would be interested in getting another 1st rounder this year and could eat JJ's salary at the right price. I don't think you're giving enough to warrant bringing a top-4 defenseman back with retained salary, though. The first rounder is the cost of adding JJ to any trade. Now you need to figure out what DF would cost with retained salary. I think a B+ forward prospect that is expansion draft exempt OR a second rounder added onto the 1st rounder would be enough to get it done.

Counter trade. Derek Forbort at 1.25mil retained for JJ, 2020 1st, and Filip Hallander.</div></div>

I think that’s too much. I think you’re basic Johnson’s value off of the Marleau deal which I don’t think is a fair comparison.

Marleau’s buyout cost the Hurricanes over $6 mil in cap space in a year where they’re trying to put a competitive team on the ice which is why the Leafs has to give up a 1st rounder.

The Kings have very good young players but I still don’t think they make the playoffs this year so they can afford Johnson’s contract which is almost half what Marleau’s is and the length shouldn’t matter since the Kings probably won’t be competitive during the year or two they have him before they buy him out.

I think if the Kings gave up nothing in return the Penguins would have to give up a 2nd to get rid of Johnson’s deal. Plus take into account that the Penguins would only get Forbort for one year. I think it’s a pretty fair trade but that’s just me
