It still doesn't show, I think you can still edit

But yeah, Ottawa is not spending a 1st round pick for a player they don't need. They most likely have the biggest logjam on LHD in the league... Chabot, Sanderson, Chychrun, Brannstrom, Kleven...

Agreed. This was probably one of the biggest factors WHY Hughes didn't wait to get more in value. This deal was simply to facilitate moving Hoffman and Pitlick. Not to squeeze everything out of Petry.

that's painful for the Pens, because they will have to dump Nylander, Nieto or T. Smith to afford Guentzel. Not like they matter much, but they are depth

Poulin obviously had a lot of personal stuff going on his life that he had to sort, so we don't really know how much, if any of it, affected his play in WBS. I'm hoping sorting out his stuff has given him new drive.

I think he'd would, but I can see an argument for him not making it. He's already 24 and is pretty small for an NHLer. He's led the WBS Pens in scoring the past 2 seasons, but there's genuine reason to question how much better he's going to get and if he's going to be able to have an impact at the NHL level.

Hey I like their team and I think they could be pesky, just not better than the pens.

What do you think will happen that will have them do that well? Fantilli calder season? Major merzlinkins bounce back?

Thread: 23-24 outlook

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>futurebobmckenzie</b></div><div>I honestly have CBJ as a team to overachieve and reach at best 4th in the Metro hence the rankings. I also factored in for realistic that all of Karlsson, Letang, and Malkin don’t play 82 which will drop them a spot.</div></div>

I think Kekalainen needs to show major improvement this season to keep his job and went too deep into adding expensive vets to the team. Would have been wiser to allow his young dmen to develop. Don't like the Severson or Gaudreau contracts. Gudbranson is a bad one. He's taking too many high risks for a team way below contender status. If Fantilli isn't a legit 1C quickly, that team is very limited to pretender at best status. I've yet to see a team in the cap era show contender status without at least solid centers. And CBJ could easily end up with a massive mismatch of aging overpriced vets dragging down the rest of the ascending lineup.

Thread: 23-24 outlook

I'd list a realistic outcome as 4th behind CAR, NJD, NYR. I don't see how NYI- another aging team that is status quo from their lineup they ended the season with- is marked for any improvement. PIT at least made changes that are riskier, but have more upside. CBJ needs a MASSIVE point increase. Unless Fantilli is a strong Calder candidate, their center depth will still get exploited regularly.

They'd want a first and they'd get it. Plus, now with Bedard coming in, I'm not so sure they'll be quick to trade away any good young players.

That's fair. Nothing wrong with signing Pysyk to a PTO. That's probably what he's looking at.

I'm not sure he's better than Ruhwedel. Go with the guy you know if all things are equal.
