Thread: tdl-wild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>awesome</b></div><div>Zucker is a bit overpaid, other than this year he hasn't had too bad of a injury history so longer term that isn't the bigger worry. No way I would do a first plus hallander without retention on Zucker, which I know the wild would not do. I don't think GMJR is worried about the cap hit, I think the reason Zucker hasn't gone anywhere(penguins or elsewhere) is cause the wild are still somewhat in the race, if they fall out he might get moved but if they stay in it he might not get traded at all.</div></div>

good point - i have been completely sleeping on Minnesota this year and only watching their games not the standings. they really aren't far out at all! At 25-22-6 and only 4 pts out of the WC, the west is just not great right now :flushed I guess we get to wait and see, less than 3 weeks til TDL now. It just almost seems inevitable up to this point lmaoo

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>awesome</b></div><div>Zucker for hallander a 1st and more would be utter robbery by the wild, so one robbery followed by other robbery. (not to mention the person including this also threw POJ in). I think pens should say no.</div></div>

I am not so sure it would be utter robbery, don't forget Zucker is under contract at a comfortable cap hit. If he can get/stay healthy, he is well worth Hallander and our 1st. Not so sure Minnesota would pick Hallander out of the bunch, though. Guerin knows our prospects as good as anyone and is probably asking for Addison which is why the deal has never come to fruition. GMJR doesn't strike me as a guy would nix a deal over worrying about next years cap, so I am assuming Billy G is just asking for our prospects which is a bit too rich right now.

Thread: Coffee is a Dangerous Drug
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>the penguins don't need to add to dump JJ.
They will get a return on him, even if it's a small one.

I like Domi as a player, he's not what they need though.
When games start to get rough he'll do something stupid. And his doing something stupid isn't worth it because he's like 5'10.
If you are going to bring in a top 6 winger with a temper at least find one that is 6'5 or something.</div></div>

I was thinking that about JJ, I truly think there are teams that would take a flyer on him but I also know this site and everything is blown out of proportion so I basically made all my deals to be a bit high.

And honestly when I dumped JJ &amp; Bjugstad I looked at the team and could only think how physically shallow the team looked. I'd like to pretend Sullivan could iron out some of the nonsense out of his game, but not always the case.

Thread: Going the Rental Route
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>no team is giving up a 1st for depth pieces.
They have already put 11 million into LD. They paid out MP 4 million this season to be the 2LD behind Dumo. Why would they go out and pay a 1st for a guy who has no place there or be a 3LD when they need to find a top 6 RW.
They aren't wasting their time with this. And sure as hell not at that cost.</div></div>

those are good points and is likely the correct way of going about TDL. I would personally like a depth D in case we lose two down the stretch so we don't have to rely on a JJ-Ruhwedel pairing but spending a 1st for a 3LD is something to avoid so I agree with you. You good to roll with our D for the rest of the season? They have proved they can hold it down just think this year is a good chance for them and want to make sure we have bandaids in case the inevitable injury(s) happens
