Thread: dubas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>So a guy who was a 40 goal scorer and a PPG player for PIT, and everyone said.... "oh crosby blah blah blah"...... and now in CAR he's almost a 1.5 PPG player isn't going to get paid??????
He's getting paid. He's not taking a discount. Someone is giving him 7-8 years on a big money deal.
It most likely won't be PIT.</div></div>

pens fans ( and I am one of them) always knew what his value was. in car he is doing well but pit is where his game was at his best and is home for him.

I gave him 8.59 mil to do a similar thing Crosby did with their jersey numbers when signing te contract... it was just funny. plus there is 1.2 mil spare so you can add that and make it 7x9.7 already which is more than enough for him to sign in pit.

for Carolina however it will take at least 10.5 or even 11.

Thread: next year playoff
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>this is horrible for the penguins.
They don't need Ruhwedel back.
Chychrun is a horrible fit, he bleeds goals. He's the last thing the Penguins need on their blue line.
This defense is actually worse than the one they fielded this year as there is one less guy to actually PK or be trusted in his own zone.
You trade for yet another 33-34 year old player... why? No thanks.

The only move here that makes any sense is moving out Smith. Which I'm not sure they can do at the start of the year, and it's not worth retaining on him or attaching anything to move him.
It's also pretty imaginary they will play those two young players.
The season is basically over and they are still playing Jeff Carter over Poulin. For what reason only God knows why. But that's how bad the decision making is around the penguins right now.
It's a pure example of why the Coaching staff needs to go and probably the front office with it.</div></div>


I think we need an upgrade in defense top 4 in particular finding a partner for letang. maybe chychrun is not the right fit but you can't say the defense is worse when the other players were Ludvig or poj.
not sure Ruhwedel is relevant it can be him Ludvig poj any good depth dman.

i traded for a very good 4th line center. it would be obviously better to have a great young 3C that costs 3m and play eller 4C but I don't see that happening.

I agree that sully has been stubborn on letting younger guys play... hopefully he talks with dubas and gives these kids they got from Carolina a decent chance.

Thread: Karlsson again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xspyrit</b></div><div>It's not about what you want, it's about what happens in the real world

Look at Erik Karlsson trade last summer. How much was he worth at 10.0 AAV?

You think you can get Chyhcrun with just a mid/late first? That pick was clearly not expected to be as good as it is now.

Acciari has 2 more years at 2.0 and has 6 pts on the season, he probably has negative value at this point. Bryan Rust will be 32 y/o next season and has 4 more years at 5.125 AAV, not much value due to age/contract too. You're basically getting 24 y/o Norris for free here because of injury concerns

Karlsson at 10.0 AAV doesn't return Chychrun</div></div>


exactly is about what happens in the real world. pit is not retaining 3 mil on any of their players. the only chance is if the return is "out of this world" and this is not the case.
again, pit refuses.
