Thread: getting bigger but losing their speed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FloppyBiscuit</b></div><div>As a Wild fan, the return is sh*t, but the targeted pieces are an interesting one. Could consider something like Zucker/Dubnyk/Foligno for Galchenyuk/Murray/Hallander/Legare/2020 1st/2021 2nd...</div></div>

Thats a fair assessment from your POV, but its also not a good look from a pens fans POV. What you are suggesting for those players is too much for the pens. Unless we are getting some star player like gallagher, rakell, etc. i wouldnt even think about putting poulin or legere out there for trade discussion. Any picks we trade for this year will have to require a return that will make us for sure contenders without running the risk of "this player may or may not work". The draft is too deep to trade a 1st or 2nd for ifs and maybes in my opinion. But opinions do differ. I think a different deal can be made for zucker without involving foligno and dubnyk as they are not at all needed on the pens

Guys I have a question. If the playoffs started today, who’s your goalie? Matt Murray one Tristan Jarry?</div></div>

Both are on short leashes. If it started today? I think Murray would get the start but max 2 games and if things go iffy Jarry goes in. And if Jarry also struggles maybe in a later round Muzz goes back in. Good problem to have

Thread: DEADLINE FOR DUMBA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Let’s give it up with this nonsense fellas. Here you’ve got a 25 year old, top pair, awesome 2-way d man (who admittedly has had some injury troubles and is having a smidge of a down year), that plays near 24 minutes a night when healthy. Oh, and he has 4 years left on a really team friendly deal. To get him, you’re giving up, precisely one legit NHLer, a middle 6 winger who’s probably in the half point per game range, a flat out cap dump, and if we’re being kind, two B prospects. Not even considered. Bill guerin goes beat read with anger that you interrupted his afternoon with this proposal.</div></div>

yeah but dont you know that toronto can get whatever they want because they are the leafs and they are God's promised team. Its always funny when leafs fans make ACGMs where they think they can offer other teams their cap dumps and meh players and not even include a 1st round pick and expect the other team to give up their franchise players to them.

Thread: Minny to reset Cgy Tor Pitts go for the cup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbqpower</b></div><div>And what is so hard to get that he would fit perfectly the penguins! I want to see him beside malkin or crosby and i don’t care if you don’t. You don’t seem to know nothing about hockey since you can’t even realize that Mtl and Pittsburgh play the same style of Hockey. Pittsburgh have always been competitive when one of Malkin or Crosby have been in their line up and that goes back to early’s 2010’s. The pens are the only team to have multiple hart trophy winner. It might be difficult for you to understand that since you know fkall about the rest of the league. And as for Kovalchuk he would be a nice addition to the Pens.</div></div>

lol okay. It doesnt really matter if want to see him next to them cuz it wont happen. GMJR clearly did not want him on the team so i guess our three times cup winning GM knows as little about hockey as me. Go and watch your mediocre habs team play mediocre hockey and wish they ever had any success in their franchise in the recent era.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbqpower</b></div><div>And how do you think Montreal style of play is.Montreal play the exact same way that Pittsburgh. Both are built on speed and heavy pressing down low to establish cycle. Your statement is a complete joke. Kovalchuk is use with a speedy danault and tatar and he is just fine. Malkin like to enter the offensive zone with puck control and often lets a trailer to is winger to stretch ice, kolvachuk could clearly be that winger with that hard release or he could find open rust or malkin with is higb hockey iq. I mean Montreal and Pittsburgh are literally playing the same style. The biggest difference is Pittsburgh have talent but the point if kovalchuk is able to skate with the high Mtl pace he will be able to speed with any team in the league.</div></div>

First of all, no. You can say they play similar styles but to say they play the same style? Wrong. There is a reason Penguins are almost leading the league and montreal looks like a lottery team after every game. And dont give me any of the "But we dont have super stars like Crosby and Malkin" or "Habs have been injured all season". Both Geno and Crosby have missed significant time and guentzal is out for the season. No one has had more injuries to their star power or in general than the penguins. If the pens really wanted him we would have signed him. But we dont need him. Period. Why is that so hard for you to get? Jesus

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbqpower</b></div><div>I hope you don’t compare Chucky to Kovalchuk? We are a thousand miles appart. Even if kovalchuk have lost some of is speed is hockey iq was, is and will be better then Galchenyuk. I do think that he could play with malkin and have success since they already been playing together on the russian team.
Comparing Kolvachuk to Chucky what a strange ideas and bad ideas.</div></div>

Its not about comparing their skill. Its about comparing how they both fit into the system. The penguins system is all about speed, dump and chase, heavy forecheck. Kovy does not fit that system just like chukcy doesnt. He is old, slow, and all he would be good for is on the PP but no reason for someone to take a full roster spot just for being a PP specialist. Just because they played a couple times on the russian team does not mean they will play well in the NHL. Malkin has finally bought into sully's system and bringing Kovy in would throw him off of that.

Thread: time to go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>markykins1</b></div><div>You are right, Eller is not a 2 C. He's good in a pinch and temporarily. Short term this might hurt a bit but with McMichael coming in a year or two, I think long term Caps can move Kuzy for assets and build around others. Of course, Brian McClellan could find a more fair trade than mine of course and maybe with someone other than the Panthers.</div></div>

Kinda risky to put your eggs in one basket by assuming McMichael will instantly become a 2C for the caps. I think he would be better off starting as a 3C role and moving up from there. With backstrom getting older, Kuz is your next in line for 1C. I think the caps should keep him. Then again i am a pens fan so please trade him and backstrom and wilson and your whole team while ur at it loool
