Thread: Rutherford ready to make a deal according to reporters and other Gms
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nights_King93</b></div><div>You haven't watched how bad the Preds are some nights and how steady Bonino is.

Bonino has 14 goals, 12 assists, and is a +16
McCann has 14,14, and is +12.
Blueger has 7,10, and is +4.

Bonino also wins 54 percent of faceoffs. McCann and Blueger win 47%.

Unless you don't know how important it is to be a two-way player that can win the big faceoffs in the playoffs, it is of paramount importance. I'd take Bonino in a big Forsberg deal. I'd also just take Bonino if they could move Jugs and the assets pretty much washed out.</div></div>

And YES I do watch the Predators every game because I coached one of the players on that team (Rocco Grimaldi) and yes Bones is solid but he costs too much money for what we need. We already have great depth at center and we don't need him. You obviously like him because he's played for us during the Cup winning years but he's moved on and is too expensive. Forsberg fits more of what we need on the Wing and he'd be deadly with Sidney passing him the puck.

Thread: Absozuckinglutely do you know how awesome this would be
This would be very smart for LA Kings to pick up ANOTHER High Round Pick with acquiring our 2nd as they need to FULLY rebuild. As for Minnesota deal I think they will want more but nobody is going to give them anymore and I would take this deal from the Pens because it gives MN a Current player (from MN area), a very good prospect and a solid 3rd round pick. Now for the NY Rangers and this offer I'd be jumping all over it because 1st round picks for anyone like Kreider is a steal PLUS getting a prospect. Done in a NY Minute if I am NY.

From the Penguins perspective with these three additions you get a proven scorer in Toffoli with size and smarts, you get the speed and tenacity of Zucker who can get in on pucks and create for players like Sid and Geno and with Kreider you get that Pascal Dupuis type play and grit that every playoff team needs. I think it brings even more strong character to an already packed Lockeroom in Pittsburgh and I'd be willing to stay this would push the Pens to the front line of the playoffs. Sullivan knows Kreider, the Penguins Organization loves Zucker and Toffoli would be an idiot not to want to sign a team friendly deal with the Penguins going forward so that he can actually win moving forward in his career.

Thread: (NJD/ARI) - Hall, Speers for Bahl, Merkley, Schnarr, 1sr round pick, conditional 3rd round pick
People need to read into these trades before they go voting because the amount of people who think Arizona Won this trade is way too many. Keep in mind that AZ is a good solid team right now and they just got better with Hall in the short term. The Coyotes are going to make the playoffs and I think they will win their first round match up so right there the NJ Devils are getting a hard 1st Round pick in a very deep draft (2020) and they get a (soon to be) 2nd Round pick in another deep draft in 2021. In addition, NJ gets the 3rd and 4th rated Prospects from AZ right now and Kevin Bahl is a STUD and a big one at that. Merkley is an NHL caliber player and will make the NJ team going forward. Getting basically 4 young players in this deal is terrific for NJ for a player who they weren't able to sign is very good. I think the Coyotes will TRY VERY HARD to sign Taylor Hall longterm if he does good in the first month. Once Marian Hossa and Mike Ribiero's contracts come off their books they will have the Cap to lock him in as one of their top forwards. I think it's a win win for both teams right now but overall I think IF NJ drafts well then they win longterm. If Hall was more consistent I'd be saying otherwise.

Thread: Taylor Hall is Scratched Tonight a Penguin Tomorrow
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>Unrealistic and this trade doesn’t happen

1) if Murray is as good as you’re saying why trade him? Trading Murray only shows that the organization has lost faith in him and that he is expendable makes his value less than what you think.
2) Huge mistake thinking Jarry is good enough to carry this team. He’s hot right now but that doesn’t make him the solution. Could he potentially be the answer yeah maybe but to blindly make that decision bc he posted a solid month is idiotic.
3) in the back to back cups Murray never had 16 wins which means they needed a solid backup they could count on.</div></div>

Murray has won TWO cups bud. He's good and he WINS.

Thread: Pens with their Youth Lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>First off, preseason means absolutely nothing. Remember Ty Rattier who led the NHL in preseason points with 11 points in 4 games a season ago? Yeah he isn't even in the NHL anymore. So throw that out of the window.

As for their play this season in the QMJHL, what's your definition of "crushing it" and being "beasts"? Being what they were expected to be?

Poulin is 21st in points, 11th in points per game, 13th in primary points per game, 8th in even strength primary points per game, 16th in even strength primary points per 60 minutes.
Legare is 14th in points, 15th in points per game, 47th in primary points per game, 70th in even strength primary points per game, 73rd in even strength primary points per 60 minutes.

Off the bat it's easy to see Legare is not a "beast". Poulin looks good but he's not a "beast" or "crushing it" in the QMJHL, he's doing exactly what a 1st round pick in their D+1 should be doing, maybe even less. This isn't to say these players won't be good, I think they will, but the chances of a player jumping from the weakest junior league, where they are decent, to the NHL so quickly and being impactful is super rare. So expect them in 2022 at the earliest.</div></div>

I'd say minus 2 years from your predictions for them both.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>I_Am_Atem</b></div><div>Trading Murray at this point would be idiotic by Rutherford, Pens would be left w/ 2 goalies who, combined, currently have less than 100 games of NHL experience, no playoff experience combined either, and none of them have touched the role of an NHL starter yet. Only bad things can happen from there.</div></div>

Yes and if you READ YOUR OWN POST you will see how (Non-Sensical) it sounds because BUD we won TWO Stanley Cups with a Goalie (Matt Murray) who had ZERO!!!! playoff experience and barely any NHL games and he went onto WIN a Stanley Cup even BEFORE his actual "Rookie Year". He also had hardly any regular season games and SO therefore how could you say Jarry can't do what Murray did. In fact, Jarry was drafted HIGHER than Murray and has more time to develop in the AHL. So when you say ONLY BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN, then you obviously forgot about our back 2 back Stanley Cup winning years of 2016 &amp; 2017.
