Thread: Current Potential Lines with injuries
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dennisb</b></div><div>Rodrigues-Blueger-Tanev is a scary 4th line. They can check and they can score.

I think they will try to play Marleau with Malkin first. Simon is useful only with Crosby. No room for him now I think.

And Marleau can improve situation with the face-offs. They are both skillfull players who can take advantage of the skillet and style of play I hope :halo</div></div>

You are right about Simon, I think Simon and Sheary will battle it out for the spot next to Sid. ZAR is great defensively and should remain part of the blueger line i think unless that line with rodrigues shows something spectacular. I was thinking about Marleau on the second line but lets see. i think both Rodrigues and marleau both could fit on either or as role players.

Thread: Clearing cap and replacing the anchors
as a pens fan who lives in LA i get to go to about 8-10 kings games a year ... as to the points made above ... the kings current management was not around when JJ was there .. ur 11m a year dman liked playing with jj. king need a low cost vet say what u will but jj contract is not bad based on some of the contacts being given out.. jj is something the kings can use during the retool ... quick has been subject of tons of trade speculation .. columbus has been in heavy talks with la about quick .. if goalies for columbus fall apart i can see that trade happening .. then la needs someone ready for nhl and that is most definately JARRY.. make tons of sense ...especially for that price a 6th rnd pk and u get back 2 needs... besides king WILL be having a firesale at the TDL carter kovy brown martinez trofolli lewis .. they are just hoping for decent start to the season so those players have higher value ...kings will be doing a major retool over the next 3 yrs ALA the rangers ....

Kings don't want to pay a ton for LD this year. They are like 8.5 mil under the cap.
Here is your list of UFA LD <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/browse/free-agents/2020/games-played/all/defense/ufa/desc/1/left">https://www.capfriendly.com/browse/free-agents/2020/games-played/all/defense/ufa/desc/1/left</a>

You are basically looking at Hutton, Morrow and Gardiner.

Gardiner has back issues. Which is why no one signed him. It's not worth a 6 million + dollar risk, and LAK don't want to spend 6 million.
Morrow, sucks.
Hutton looked awful last year.

LAK need a LD. Who is low cost. and capable of playing at the NHL level.
The pickings are slim and there are multiple teams in the same spot.

They also need a backup goalie. Campbell is probably signing else where for more money after last year.

So yeah, LAK could be a possibility. I doubt they trade for him, but it's not because of the value here. It's because he's been there done that before. He played there for 5 years before.

Thread: hope they are fine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dennisb</b></div><div>What's the point of signing Tanev? I do not know. Tanev is often injured, so I shaped that way. He would come handy in playoffs. Dumoulin-Letang, Brodie-Tanev, Petersson-Rental D. They just need that defensive defender. I do not know a better fit being available.

As for swapping young guys... it's just a matter of taste and time only will tell. I see at as it stans now by their readiness. It could be anything the next season as well. But it could be Poulin-Malkin-Legare if they are developed the right way.

I don't know about Pavs, I would place Angello much higher on the depth chart. Blueger could be a nice 3C option with Hallander on the wing (he played a wing on a top line last season). Bjorkqvist-Blueger-Hallander could be great young energetic line, agreed.</div></div>

I agree with most of that, just that Pavlychev put up similar stats to Bjorkqvist, and well he's 6'7'' what most takes are of him is that he'll be NHL ready out of college, but pretty much has 4C upside which I completely agree with from what I've seen of him

Thread: PENS - 18'-19' Outlook 4-PEAT w/ $82 mil CAP
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dennisb</b></div><div>Can't see signing Green happening. They don't need 3rd PP QB with the right-hand shot. Besides think he would demand more...
But I'd like to get Domi for what you've offered. But that's a PIT fan view. Tocchet knows Sheary, but I'm not so sure he fits his style and vision. Think PIT would have to add.</div></div>

I see ur point on Domi but ive offered Sprong/Sheary /1st and ppl say its too much? If u dig into the #'s Sheary has better stats and analytics the last 2 years than Domi. Its a tough call to say what Domi is "worth" ..... because along with the numbers, u still must consider the Diabeties issue too.
The Green signing is simply a wish, maybe he comes to win a cup because with him as our 3rd pair dman would be scary.

The issue is people don't watch hockey or look at stats, hey that sounds like you.
Sheary is better than your average 1st liner and rust is like a 2nd liner as far as putting quality stats, the kicker is they do it with less ice time....;

What site are you getting your stats from? I haven't been able to find a decent site.</div></div>

Search up "NHL hero chart" on google and its like the first result
