Thread: Phil and Horny are hurting not helping
none of these trades are any good for either team.

FIrst of all NJ isn't trading Hall for that, but even if they did.
What would the penguins do with Hall other than watch him walk when they can't pay him?
Meanwhile you gave up Hållander who will be a roster player for years to come (most likely middle six), a 1st round pick and Horny who's been playing with a broken bone in his hand for a one year rental.

You trade out Gudbranson who has been lights out and can help clean up the goonery for nothing.

Then you trade kessel for an inferior winger, a 5'9 midget defense man, and a guy who hasn't shown much at the NHL level.

Even if said players had to go, which there really isn't over whelming evidence that it is even true, surely this is not how it's done.

Thread: potential offseason with moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>zdiamond1919</b></div><div>27 tucks last year is close enough especially at 25 yrs old, Stone has never hit 30 either but yet Ottawa got a A+ prospect defender and a 2nd round pick while Vegas paid him 9.5 mil per season... So trading an aging Kessel (7 mil cap hit) a low level prospect and a late 1st rounder seems more than fair on the Pittsburgh end for a guy that makes less than 6 mil per for the next 4 years, but I get it keep over valuing Kessel that works...</div></div>

Kessel maybe an aging player but a 31 year old kessel is still a better player than a 25 year old Huberdeau. Giving up a prospect and a pick on top of it is losing the trade.
If I'm going to ship Kessel out somewhere it's to a team on the cusp of making a push or one that is already making one. That way I get a better return and don't have to pretend I have to add to a trade while giving up the best player in the trade.

Thread: Geno x Bread
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EGM</b></div><div>How is Gallagher not better than Kessel? Gallagher same goal scoring, same 5v5 points, Gallagher is a top 5 defensive RW in league, Gallagher is half the cost, Gallagher 5 years younger, all while being on a average team with average linemates, Gallagher x Crosby or Malkin is unquestionably better than Kessel x Crosby or Malkin. You really arguing over the 6th/7th/8th dman on the team? keep Gudbranson then, have the cap space to do so. JJ has not being amazing, hes just being slightly better than his previously trash self, still horrendous. If Pittsburgh had the cap space instead of having none, I bet panarin would consider any offer of $12m.</div></div>

Because Gallagher’s career high is 54 points. Kessel is a point per game player this year and that’s with you claiming he is on the decline and been trash. Do you have a crystal ball to know that would be true? I’ll stick with what is certain and that is Kessel is at worst a PPG player with Crosby and Malkin. Especially if it means I’m gonna get a trash return on Kessel. You are the one arguing over a 6th/7th/8th dman trying to claim he is better than Gudbranson. Yes JJ has been pretty amazing with Schultz. Clearly you don’t watch the games ?‍♂️. Panarin already said there is only a few teams that he is willing to go to, period. You can’t change facts lol. Pittsburgh isn’t one of those teams.
