Thread: What pens SHOULDve looked like headed into the offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>not to mention hagalin which turned into gubranson, the Connor sheary trade, and the horrific JJ signing. GMJR has dropped the ball since the 2017 Stanley cup win.</div></div>

The Sheary trade was fine. The allocation of the cap savings was not. Hagelin was not worth 4mil per year but neither is Gudbranson and the term he carries is terrible. At least Hagelin would have been off the books and signed to a lesser deal. Rutherford has no idea how to manage the cap. He did the same thing in Carolina. Botterill was the true architect of the 2 cup runs. I wish Rutherford went to Buffalo instead. The Penguins have the 2nd most expensive defensive core and probably the most expensive bottom pairing defenders. Now they are going to have to trade quality assets away or trade players with decent value for lesser players just to save money and right the wrongs made. They can't even go out any acquire decent free agents in a year where they could get good deals because the pool is so deep. The Penguins will never win another cup in the Crosby era because of the mismanagement and free spending ways of Rutherturd. Penguins shouldn't have even offered that dinosaur a contract renewal.

Thread: No Geno Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>btgum</b></div><div>I don't see this working for the pens. I think Rutherford would much rather try and do a quick retool as opposed to making such the drastic moves you have made up here. Also Panarin reportedly wants to be by an ocean and Pittsburgh is about as far from an ocean as Columbus. I've heard Oli Maata wouldn't have that type pf return. And lastly this doesn't really address the main problem at hand which is the D core.</div></div>

OMG finally somebody with an ounce of sense! All these Penguins posts are absolutely ridiculous and the people posting them have not a clue what the Penguins real needs and issues are. Wait till you see how many people sign that scrub G.Wilson and put him in their lineups. It's maddening.

Thread: Outsiders view
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>capsin9</b></div><div>See I think keeping Maatta would be more attractive and would cost less at the expansion draft. I imagine you’ll have to pay a team to take JJ. a team might just take Maatta as their pick nothing else added. Either way JJ WAS A BAD DECISION ha. Petersson or whatever ....what a diamond in the rough. He’s secretly one of the better defenseman on the team. That was a great trade.</div></div>

Fleury took a 2nd for Vegas to take him. I would assume Johnson would cost the same based on his salary is lower but he's a worse player. Maatta if paired with another player could bring back a decent return. Penguins wouldn't just let Maatta go for nothing. Especially if they have both him and Johnson on the team at the same when the expansion draft happens.
