Thread: When Kappy is ready

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brgh4life</b></div><div>Yah, this pretty much seems to be the obvious. Now, the biggest question is when ZAR returns, who plays the RW on that 4th? I like what Lafferty brings from a speed and shot standpoint, but I also Rodrigues is the much more well rounded player. Tough call.</div></div>

I think you run ZAR-Blueger-Lafferty and keep ERod around as a really good 13th guy. I think they’ll benefit more from Lafferty’s disruptive speed on that line rather than ERod’s style.

Thread: Things get weird at the deadline

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I think that you've seriously underestimated MacKenzie Weegar's value.</div></div>

I know I probably did this bad but I think if the penguins were to explore moving Tanev they’d be looking for a decent 2nd/3rd pair RHD as it’s really the only thing they’re lacking in the long term.

Thread: Dream Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brocklesnar</b></div><div>He scored 18 goals with limited ice time and some pp time, with better linemates he could hit 20+ goals. Plus he is extra motivated after being called out by his GM. He knows its probably his last chance in VAN if doesn't he show up.</div></div>

I’m banking on him not to show up but wouldn’t be surprised if he took this last chance and ran with it for as long as he can.

Thread: Dream Trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brocklesnar</b></div><div>VAN decline, they would much rather keep Virtanen. They can't afford to lose another top 6 winger.</div></div>

I have this odd feeling that he’s gonna tank in VAN’s top six and they’ll move him because of it. That’s like the only reason I did this.

Thread: Haula

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Heard that Haula might be going to Van, they're just waiting till the season starts to put Ferland on LTIR before they can sign him, will be interesting to see where he lands.</div></div>

That would be a really good fit for him...I feel like a Haula-Gaudette-Virtanen third line is just what Vancouver needs.

Thread: Messing around

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>I'm not. Neither is Rutherford. I assume that Dougie REALLY wanted to bring in Danault so he made a bad trade to get the cap to work. Then you made the ... questionable comment of Pittsburgh needing to add a 1st to move Tanev. I would have commented on the original bad trade, but then your comment trumped that.</div></div>

It’s true...I make absolutely horrendous ACGM’s in the offseason.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>You have $5.5M cap space, and Tanev played great for the Pens. Why are you paying to move him out?</div></div>

Why are they paying a primarily fourth line player $3.5M?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kspringy</b></div><div>3C is definitely a glaring need but we can't keep pissing away our assets. Finding a way to sign Haula would be more worthwhile IMO</div></div>

I agree but I can totally see Eric being one of Jim’s guys who he’d give up the world for.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>Tanev was great with the Pens last year.

Plus, Bennett isn't actually a C much less a 3C.</div></div>

I still think it’s something you explore moving out at some point...it’s a love the player hate the contract type of thing especially since he’s strictly a defensive guy and really has no potential to provide offense.

Thread: Holl

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Don’t know much about him, but he seems fine. Is he pyshical? Besides, one of Holl or Dermott is probably on their way out after Brodie and Bogosian</div></div>

Yeah he’s gritty but most importantly he’s very defensively savvy. I could see him and Vesey being one hell of a fourth line winger tandem.

Thread: Staal trade as a guide Year 2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>yeah I think they realize there is limited time left.
This team is set to rebuild in 2 years. Malkin if he comes back it's at reduced salary. Same with Letang. They defense core is now Pettersson Marino, Maniscalco, and Dumo.
The only real question is, where do they get a center in 2 years.</div></div>

I think we’re at the point where they just roll the dice in free agency in two years. They really have no resources to get anyone who is or who could develop into a top 6 center so they got just roll with it and see what happens.

It certainly seems like they’re going to leave him hanging. <a href="https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/penguins/2020/10/03/dominik-simon-penguins-contract-restricted-free-agents/stories/202010030102" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/penguins/2020/10/03/dominik-simon-penguins-contract-restricted-free-agents/stories/202010030102</a>

JJ
POJ
Simon

Gambrell
3rd 2021

Is that fair for both teams or unfair for pit/sjs</div></div>

I think it’s pretty good for both sides. I like gambrell as a potential bottom 6 center option and the only thing I’d change is Simon because he’s most likely getting non tendered and SJS could sign him without giving up any assets.

Been hearing you say this for at least 18 months now and it’s been known that the organization doesn’t believe in buyouts so what makes you keep pushing that idea?
