Thread: Lehkonen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>Lehkonen is basically what ZAR would be if he could score and Poulin IS NOT our best prospect. Right now Puustinen, DOC and Zohorna have surpassed him in the forward department. Lehkonen would be a dynamite 3rd line for this team.</div></div>

omg.
Please stop. It's just embarassing.
You are comparing a 25 year old to a 20 year old player in his first AHL season. DOC is 23, Puustinen is 22.
Just stop.
The pens "fans" on this board are getting ridiculous. The over reaction to every little thing is just insane. Kap must go, Zucker is a huge cap dump, Poulin is a bust trade him now, not our top prospect look at a marginal 25 year old player! Here you can take him for nothing.

This is a horrible trade for the penguins and even MTL knows it.
None of this makes the pens a better team

Thread: useful swap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mike384</b></div><div>I wanted to move a LD from Pittsburgh, Pettersson has a longer contract that we don't need, Soucy's contract will expire when Joseph should be ready for NHL. I also wanted to add players which are harder to play against. I don't see any reason why Pettersson shoud be an issue for Seattle.</div></div>

Well he's not exactly an issue, but the reason why they'd not take him in is exactly the same why you'd move him - it'd cause a logjam of LHDs there. Giordano, Dunn, Oleksiak, Pettersson/Soucy, Lauzon, Fleury. All of them are LHDs and in need of NHL time. In this regard it would make sense for them to deal a LHD for prospects, and since aside from Giordano and Soucy all of them are either young LHDs themselves or extended long-term they are the most logical options to move.

Thread: a new RHD
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mike384</b></div><div>Aston-Reese is very useful bottom6 player with strong defense, the other two are just borderline NHLers, but what exactly do you get from a healthy scratch d-man? I don't know if this is fair, but Hextall bring him to NHL so I thought, he might be curious about him.</div></div>

NSH has a glut of bottom six options right now. ZAR would be a healthy scratch more often than not. Friedman and Lafferty don't provide any value for NSH either.The Preds seem pretty high on Myers, given the price they paid for him. I don't think Myers currently getting scratched is much of an indication the Preds would be interested in moving him. More so that they want him to unlearn some of his Philly coaching and work on a few things before he goes back in the lineup, so he can excel when he's back on the ice.

Thread: (WPG/VAN) - for Schmidt
I got a tweet for yall to think about

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">2020 Canucks post-draft offseason: resign Virtanen, sign Holtby, trade a 3rd for Schmidt 2021 Canucks post-draft offseason: buyout Virtanen, buyout Holtby, trade Schmidt for a 3rd legitimately hilarious</p>— Justin McElroy (@j_mcelroy) <a href="https://twitter.com/j_mcelroy/status/1420158493546336260?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">July 27, 2021</a></blockquote>



Van with the next L on the list

Toffoli could have been in a Canucks Jersey rn along with Tanev

While Van has 26mill in cap space Hughes and Petterson are gonna eat a large portion along with Dickenson. Then they got to replace Holtby. So that space is gonna be gone quickly. Also you got to replace Schmidt and sure they are bringing back Schenn but okay you need a defensively minded top 4 Dman. Dont think were gonna see an improvement in Vancouver's GA.

Demko good luck man
