<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ShafferPens</b></div><div>I laugh at thinking that our top 4 is locked. Our top 4 is garbage and De Haan-Oleksiak can ease the pressure on them.

What exactly has Rust done to get more than Sheary? I don’t see it.</div></div>

you laugh at our top 4? Letang is still a top 10 dman in the league. Dumo had the best year out of all of them. Schultz has stepped up multiple times over the 3 years weve had him. and Maatta finally grew into the player we hoped for. besides schultz, those 3 are locked up for 5-6 years. im sure schultz would stay here too.

Rust has done more than Sheary by a long margin. better player, smarter, more physical, proven he can produce and be relied on. Sheary cracks under pressure and skates like a 3 year old learning to skate for the first time. he scared out there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PenGoater99</b></div><div>You say that Guentzel played with Geno and Phil, but is that really a downgrade? You still haven't answered that question. Also, when Sheary played with Brassard or Sheahan, he was great, his speed was a great tool for the pens to use and they had some great shifts together, points don't tell the whole story</div></div>

no its not a downgrade but Guentzel is proven, Sheary isnt Sheary had one decent year, 2 bad playoffs and a below average year, Guentzel had a good year, an average year and 2 amazing playoffs for us. And no, i dont think Simon should be in the lineup. Good player, fast, smart, but no size or confidence yet but that comes with time. We rely on our depth to get points when Sid and Geno arent on the ice, thats why HBK was so dangerous cause it gave us 3 full 1st lines to rotate though. Rowney is fasr, stronger than Sheary and uses the body. Sheary is small and weak.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PenGoater99</b></div><div>Sheary is a proven goal scorer, how is he not an NHL'er? It's fair to say he's overpaid but he can score at the NHL level. And with Rust, he gets job security with the pens for 6 years, similar to a Calle Jarnkrok on the Preds, and by doing so, he forfeits a bit of money.</div></div>

Sheary is a proven goal scorer and NHLer? my 11 year old brother is the same size as him. Sheary constantly gets knocked down and off the puck causing turnovers. He scored those goals cause of Crosby. You think Pascal Dupuis or Chris Kunitz are 20-25-30 goal scorers? no, but when you have a generational talent like Crosby, guys find the back of the net. look at Patrick Maroon with McDavid. Sheary is clearly overpaid and is barely a NHLer, Sprong shouldve been in the lineup over him. Id take Rowney over Sheary.

But Wierdcock isn't the main piece. He's the side-chick. If that.

Guentzal is the reason that I'm wary because his value has skyrocketed. Too much for Landy.

Basically a 1st line LW and a top-4 Dman for a 1st line LW.

Doesn't make sense to the Pens to overpay when they already have Guentzal right there.</div></div>

That's the price you pay for talent you know is top line. Guentzal is good but he's barely been in the NHL, so who knows if he'll definitely pan out.</div></div>

he's playing with the best player in the world...he made Pascal Dupuis a 50 point man, and Kunitz a 30 goal man. i think a young sponge like him will do be a good player, but nothing like he is with Crosby. not too much value, no way could he be a part to get Landy, he's played 20 games in the big league? let's not jump to conclusions.....he wont get much value.
