Thread: Bertuzzi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy12Bob</b></div><div>The thing is that Detr

The thing is that Detroit doesn't have to trade Bert. The best option might very well be to keep him.

Pettersson can be had cheap in the offseason. PIT have cap problems and will likely have to trade either him or Matheson and both are interesting for Detroit.
Hållander hasn't really panned out and Kapanen only produces half of what Bert does.

In a worst case scenario (where Bert declares he's going UFA) we may still get an even better deal at next years TDL where we can retain 50% and really fleece some desperate GM. Keeping him gives us 80 points next season that we won't have without him.</div></div>

No you don't have to trade Bert but you'd get more this yr than next bc his contract is so team friendly. Maybe this isn't the package but if you don't believe u can resign than trade him this yr not next. For next year do you really want that 80 points? You guys aren't close to competing for a cup so do worse and get better picks. You are 21 points out of the playoffs with over 20 games left in the season. So why want points from Bert. Take the picks/prospect. Petterson is a solid young Dman who you are right can be had for like a 2nd. Kap will get you 40 points, and will probably be able to pull it together away from Sully. A 1st is a 1st, and hallander is still only 21, maybe you guys want POJ or Legare or both instead (I dont think we will trade Poulin).

I think this offer atleast starts the convo. As bertuzzi could be nastyyyy with the Pens.

Thread: Giroux in a pens jersey would be awesome
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clouson</b></div><div>Giroux said he would play for Colorado, St Louis, Minnesota. Now there are Tampa, Florida and Canes linked to him too. But he will play his 1000 games with the flyers before anything happens, and knowing how Giroux is, he will never agree to play for the Pens even if they were 1st overall in the standings. You wont make a flyers captain who has played 1000 games with the team, sign with their rivals.</div></div>

I mean crazier things have happened. He will either we be playing w Crosby or Malkin 5v5 and join a powerplay of guentzel, Letang Geno sid. Definitely not a bad spot for a UFA trying to get a decent contract next year

Edit: Imagine Sid and Giroux in 2012 together. Would've been nuts

Thread: Another cup for Sid
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Kappy's producing like a good third liner. He's a second liner in a weaker team, but he's not more than a mid-6 winger.

Boeser is a top-6 one. Probably the best at a solid 2nd line, but can take a 1st line role as well.

In my opinion there's a clear difference between Kappy and Boeser, and a low first is far from enough to compensate on that.</div></div>

5v5 this year Kapanen has more points 45% more points, so if you say he produces like a good 3rd liner than Boeser produces like a good 4th liner. This comes with Boeser spending his most amount at 5v5 with Miller and Pettersson, and Kap spending his with Zucker and Rodrigues.

Im sure if Kap had those consistent teammates and played PP1 he may out produce BB. Now don't get me wrong I think BB is better than KK but by how much? Marginally. Relax w the KK slander

Thread: who says no
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>No I'm comparing a guy who gets 1st paring offensive minutes with TOR best offensive players not producing any points, to a guy who gets "3rd pairing" minutes with "3rd pairing" line mates, and drops 10 even strength goals pace for 3 freaking years.

Fact is, getting those 1st pairing minutes with TOR best offensive players shouldn't you be getting more production out of him?
I mean come on, I've asked this repeatedly, Why are his numbers all down. We've gone with he's now magically a "defensive defenseman" which is just pure BS at best.
What else do you have?
I mean really what does it say for Matheson, when you say he doesn't have real help, and he's out pacing your guy?</div></div>

Would you trade Dumoulin for Brodie, all the arguments are using against brodie could be said the same to Dumo. Im literally a pens fan

Thread: who says no
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vr1995</b></div><div>once again, thank you, they are too simple minded to understand that judging a D by points isnt the only way to evaluate and isnt near the top of ways</div></div>

I don't get it either. To me Brodie and Dumoulin are the same player, both are #2 Dman to elite offensive defensiveman, both play shutdown defensive roles as there partners like to pinch. Both have embarrassingly bad shots LOL. Only difference would be Brodies a better skater, and Dumo is bigger. I'm a pens fan who lives in southern ontario so all I watch the Leafs fairly often, and the argument that matheson is better is just a incorrect argument. He does have some moments of brilliance followed by many moments of just poor defensive play.
