Thread: heard a thing of brassard to Pitt
Although watching TSN from Noon to 3 on trade deadline day is VERY fun. You don't want to see teams make trades just to be on TV. Rutherford was God-Awful from the time he got here until the Kessel trade. He then had the midas touch for two years. Every deal he made was great. Not good, GREAT! He stole Daley from the Hawks for Scuderi. Moved Perron for Hagelin, picked up Hainsey and Streit just in time, and kept Fluery at the trade deadline when everyone though he was gone. But since the parade for the 2017 Stanley Cup JR has gone back to God-Awful. The Reaves deal was terrible, especially when Klim Kostin is going to be a star in this league. Giving the Knights a 2nd Rd pick to take MAF was a joke, especially seeing how he is thriving while the three guys we've had in net have been less than stellar. Overpaying Schultz and Sheary were mistakes. I'd rather see us go with the guys we have then keep dealing just for the sake of change.

Thread: Pittsburgh Penguins signed Brian Dumoulin (6 Years / $4,100,000 AAV)
The Pens have had great success by getting productions from guys who are paid at or less than their value. Dumoulin was great in the playoffs but when he was hurt the team didn't struggle. Next year Dumoulin, Maatta and Schultz will all be overpaid. Add Sheary to that list too. It will be hard for any of those players to justify their contract. Add to that the fact that they gave Pouliot and Archibald one way deals means someone's gotta go. They have too many wings and still need a 3rd line center. Things get further muddy when you consider that Aston-Reese and Sprong could be ready for a roster spot. Then a couple guys need to go. I would ship Sprong, Sheary and Schultz to Colorado for Duchesne. I think Dumoulin is worth about 3 million. THAT SAID...I've seen my favorite team in all 4 sports win 5 Championships in 27 seasons. It won't be the end of the world if they take a step back next year. It's not like we're talking about the Cleveland Browns.

Thread: Fleury or Murray?
I know this sounds crazy but the move I think they should have made was trading Murray. They could get a great return for him. ALthough he is a Stanley Cup winning goalie. He was not the best goaltender in any of the final 3 rounds. He was equal to Holtby and outplayed by Vasilevsky and Jones. I would have dealt him straight up to Edmonton for their #1 pick when Puljujarvi fell to the 4th spot. If Murray was so high on their radar they wouldn't have invested a 2nd Rd pick in Gustavsson when they already have Tristan Jarry in the minors. Fleury was their MVP through 50 games. The Pens won the Stanley Cup largely because they had the best 3rd line in hockey. Kessel, Bonino and Hagelin had the benefit of going up against most team's 3rd defense pairing and took advantage of it. Ask yourself....how many games did Murray steal for the Pens in the 2016 playoffs?
