Thread: Penguins
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>While your deal for Henrique may look fair on paper, why does Anaheim take it? We're moving out our 1LW, who we can't replace in free agency this season, and don't have an internal replacement for, for an overpaid bottom 6 with term, a future mid round pick, and a LHD who is probably only middle of the pack on our overstocked LHD prospect pipeline?</div></div>

I get you're point, but you're really digging to get that first round pick out of Henrique. Horvat, Tarasenko, Meier get first round picks, not Adam Henrique. Plain and simple.

You're right, the list if wingers available in free agency next year isn't exactly "sexy" but it's not terrible. The Ducks could easily find someone for that top-six role.

Pens have Puustinen who has been playing both wings in the AHL recently. He could be a nice add for the Ducks in their middle-six. There is just a log jam in Pittsburgh with the top-six pretty much locked up for the rest of Sid's career plus a terrible contract given to Kapanen. Puustinen isn't a bottom-six player, thus no room for him here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iFishyHD</b></div><div>Would rather keep a 4th liner who we replaced in Sceviour compared to getting a kid who was just picked 3rd overall recently. Interesting strategy to have a million fourth liners with no upside.


POJ is a pretty good skater and puck transitioning defenseman, I can't say I watched many Wilkes-Barre games, but the stuff I have read about him was mostly positive. Hes got a pretty decent stick defensively to make up for some of his lack of physical play. I don't think he will ever be a huge point getter, but he could be a guy who still creates offense through smart plays in the defensive and neutral zone. And I agree that LA would likely buy Johnson out after a year or 2 when they are truly trying to compete again, and Johnsons buyout isn't really that bad at all.</div></div>

Honestly, I'd consider taking a 2nd round pick before I would take POJ as compensation for Jack Johnson.
