Thread: EDM NJD NSH
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>Im not here to change your mind. I just think that AG isnt worth what you're saying. The guy has had opportunity after opportunity to play in the top 6 with injuries to Sid and Malkin and he's been terrible. He's a nearly 5 million dollar former first rounder who is now on the 4th line of a good team. He has a value of a league minimum player right now, i dont care what he did before. We are talking about value right now. if you think he's that valuable you wouldnt be replacing him with a less talented player in Khaira.</div></div>

It's not about talent it's about fit, that's why he's doing bad in PIT. Khaira is a big body C which we could use IMO and Gally is a finesse player who didn't mesh with Sid or Geno(which many "star" or "talented" players didn't in the past) and he isn't the type of player who's going to drive his line, he needs someone else, hence going to try it out with McDavid/Draisaitl.

EDM gets what they need - top 6 winger who you can't argue has a ton of skill, he just is the complete wrong fit for the system he's in.
PIT gets what they need/what I think they could use - bottom C center who's big and draft capital. IDC if we got a 4th instead of a 3rd, I just think it's more realistic with a 3rd, but obviously my POV may be biased as a PENS fan

Thread: Gally trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>He's probably available.

How about a move like this?

:penguins
Blake Comeau
Joel L'Esperance
Julius Honka

:stars
Alex Galchenyuk
2020 4th round pick (PIT)</div></div>

I'd do that in a heartbeat TBH. Always liked Honka and maybe he can find his game in PIT, worth a shot.
Comeau is decent depth signed for next year too, if we needed to get rid of him he'd have 1 year 2.4M left and thats extremely moveable
L'Esperance may be able to carve out a full time NHL bottom 6 role, but maybe not.

Way I see it, Galchenyuk is undoubtedly the most skilled player in the trade and it isn't even close. However, his value is diminishing every game for the PENS, he is the complete opposite of what system we're now playing and his numbers are showing it.

If this were a trade based strictly off skill, I'd say hell no. But being realistic, I just want the guy gone for whatever we can get. Anyone willing to hit/forecheck &amp; backcheck that's cheap, I'll take lol.
