Thread: Based on what DUBAS said today in his press conference
in my opinion, reading through the line of what he said today, we need graves to go back to last years form because we are kind of stuck with him with his contract which will be tough to trade. I do believe he will trade smith, last year of his contract and easy to trade for a late pick to a rebuilding team that will flip him retained at the deadline. honestly he wasn't awful but at the same time we needed more from him in particular down the stretch. Blomqvist I agree will be the backup (I do believe dubas might try to trade jarry if Ned can resign for less, very difficult tho we'll see).
personally, I would stay away from debrusk. he is good don't get me wrong but I think we need more consistency and not having a similar player to smith, even if a bit better.
if you trade smith and not sign debrusk you have 12mil left on the cap which I would give to puusty and guentzel. I know not easy but I do believe bringing back Jake is a huge boost not only for the present trying to make the playoffs but also for the future rebuild in a couple of years.
imo 7x10m is a tough offer to decline.
have like:

Jake sid rust
bunting geno raks
o'connor eller puusty/yager
and your fourth line.


what about Koivunen : is he actually close to make the team or not really?

Thread: Build the muscle around the kids
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>you have 2 2LD on the penguins. What penguins fans want is a 1LD and they aren't getting that without spending 7 mil on cap which they aren't doing.
When you fix the issues in the 3rd pairing which Bahl can do on the cheap, you fix a lot of issues on the defense.
We aren't going to get anything great for Jarry, while you may look at a 2nd as being worth more, they don't have time to wait for them to develop. This team will be in rebuild mode in 2 years. Some mid round 2nd round pick ain't going to matter then.</div></div>


you don't have to get picks to pick players, you can just flip them. we need tradable assets to get a good Dman not bahl. we have a great 1LD in Pete that can complement perfectly EK65, then we need a solid stay at home guy to play with tanger and our defense is done (have a third pairing of graves-st.ivany which is more than fine, even better if you can trade out graves contract)

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.
