Thread: When Healthy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Play_Party_Hard</b></div><div>Just about spot on. I'm not as high on Ty Smith as some.

I'd rather have Rakell in the top-six and Rust on the third line. A lot depends on how Nylander does.</div></div>

I really hope he sticks in that second line role. It would definitely help spread out the scoring.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>I think Poehling is a strong candidate for a roster spot. If he doesn't make it, he's very probably claimed off waivers.</div></div>

how good is he actually? obviously his points aren’t very good and from what I’ve seen of his advances stats those aren’t that great either.

Thread: pens fans its discussion time FINISHING TOUCHES

Really think they should try and move mcginn as well to a team that misses out in free agency and still needs a depth forward. Then you can sign copp to play 2 LW and take faceoffs for Malkin who was just atrocious in that regard last season.

Thread: what now

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>I could live with that</div></div>

I’d just like to see them get a couple guys that can play both center and wing. Always nice to have especially with the injury history of this team.

Thread: Cooley

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>Arizona takes Cooley at 3, Seattle declines and takes nemec. I saw that other post about the Seattle trade but I just can’t see this happening.

Maybe if Arizona takes nemec 3 I could see it</div></div>

That was my theory. I saw a rumor today that arizona was looking at Nemec at 3 that’s why I thought of this.

Thread: Trading Pick 4

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bond007</b></div><div>It would be way more logical for Seattle to take Jiricek or Nemec who have a higher ceiling than Marino. The addition of Marino doesn't put them in a playoff position so why waste the chance to draft a franchise altering player for a good top 4 dman who will be 28-29 YO when the team is ready to contend. If you really like Kapanen, you can always use one of the 7 second round pick to get him.</div></div>

I did this with the assumption that nemec gets selected at 3 and the kraken don’t want to take Jiricek at 4 that way the penguins select Cooley and the kraken get their D and a right handed shot with more potential. But I get what your saying, Seattle should not do this and keep the pick.

Thread: Pens

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PeterForsberg21</b></div><div>Both your trades make the Pens worse. Are the Pens going to rebuild?</div></div>

I don’t necessarily think they do. adds a physical gritty player to both top lines and creates a balanced 3rd line. also with o’connor having a similar playing style to aston reese it creates a similar 4th line to what they had last year.

even with turcotte, byfield, and kopitar still on the books for another 4 years? I realize I probably low balled him a bit being a recent top pick but they could use a young d like petterson.

Thread: Malkin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>How about we just fire Sullivan instead?</div></div>

Sullivan has been one of the best coaches in the league. Malkin has really been the only significant and consistent letdown in the forward group this year. I really don’t believe Sullivan is the problem but who knows at this point.

Thread: Malkin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>A guy "disinterested in hockey" sure won't waive his NMC to play under Tortorella</div></div>

I don’t think he will either but he will be the star center in columbus which is something he’s obviously never had before. maybe that will help his confidence and commitment

Thread: Malkin

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LGR</b></div><div>He did look pretty out of it tonight. Do you think he finishes his contract? maybe hell go back to Russia</div></div>

I have no idea what’s going to come of it. All I know is what he’s putting out there for our team is not worth the 20 minutes of ice time we’re giving him and his 9.5 million dollar price tag.

Thread: What a gutty win

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Zucker played well with Malkin last year.</div></div>

they combined for 3 points in the 4 play in games. Zucker had 12 points in 15 games when he was on Sid’s line before the regular season stopped. Just think it’s time for a change. They have to rejuvenate malkins game somehow especially with how much each game matters now.

Thread: What a gutty win

I don’t know how many games it’s gonna take for Sully to realize malkin and zucker shouldn’t be on the same line. keep the guentzel-malkin-rust combo that had so much success last year

Thread: Ideal lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>I'm watching that scrimmage. Jankowski looks bad. I just can't justify him at this point as even having a starting role. I don't know. 1st game or two will be telling. They can't clutch on. They have to admit a mistake and move on. Quickly.

Idealy, we might be best off with a bottom 6 line.

McCann Blueger Poulin
OConnor Lafferty Tanev

I have been impressed with Matheson in the game. He's playing well. But it's just a small window.</div></div>

I am also watching. Lafferty and O’Connor have both looked good. They definitely deserve an extended look. I agree about Jankowski. Hasn’t impressed me at all and just looks too slow to keep up.

Thread: Lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Adamitis</b></div><div>Riikola probably won’t clear, and Lafferty is still waivers exempt, better to just send him down and move a F when ZAR is back.

I don’t dislike dislike Granlund at all but he’s not really moving the needle that much.

He only had 24 points 5v5 playing 2nd line minutes with nashville, with an inflated shooting percentage.....and doesn’t really play a good defensive game.</div></div>

You don’t think reuniting him with Zucker and putting them on Sid’s line will be enough for him to get back to his Minnesota form?
