2015-2016 Penguins: Annual "Buy or Sell" Thread

[Darth Vitale]

Crosby wins the Art Ross by 10+ points, buy/sell.

Sell. I think Geno wins it if he playes with Kessel and they both stay healthy.


Buy or sell: Assuming full seasons both Fehr and Boniner will reach 35 points.

 

[Darth Vitale]

Fleury get .920% again or more.

Sell. Not because I think he'll relapse or have problems, but because in the first half of the season our D will struggle some.


Buy or Sell: Hornqvist and Kessel will be grouped on the same power play and Hornqvist will actually get the higher number of PPG due to Kessel deflections and cleaning up around the net.

 

[Asuna]

Buy or sell: Assuming full seasons both Fehr and Boniner will reach 35 points.

Sell. Fehr may miss the first month or so of the season. Plus he may play 3/4 line minutes. Bonino should hit that mark though.

Buy/Sell: Malkin will play 78+ games.

 

[Mike Lange Version 2]

Buy/Sell: Malkin will play 78+ games.

Sell, not by much, but Malkin always gets something wrong to him, I'd guess 70-75.

Buy/Sell: The Pens will have home ice advantage for the 1st round of the playoffs.

Buy, the Pens will actually survive the Metropolitan in PO.

Kessel will be top 3 in the league in shots.

 

[Headshot77]

Sell

Kessel will be top 3 in the league in shots.

Sell. Kessel never struck me as an absolute shot monger.

The penguins make it to the ECF.

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

The penguins make it to the ECF.

Buy, I feel the most hope since 12-13 season.

Buy or Sell:

A penguin player hits 100 points or more?

 

[Headshot77]

Buy or Sell:

Sell. We're going to be hard pressed to see that in the dead puck era 2.0

 

[Boocock]

Buy or Sell:
Bonino - Bennett turns out to be a better combo than Sutter - Bennett.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Sell

Kessel will be top 3 in the league in shots.

Sell: while it could very well happen, I see Kessel being able to be more selective about his shot choices with two of the best setup guys in the league playing pivot to him. I could be 100% wrong but IMO a player like Kessel will have to take fewer shots due to the quality of setups he will have with Crosby and Malkin than he has in the past.

Buy/Sell: Dupuis finishes out his contract as a Penguin finding a way to be a serviceable player on his contract and becoming a corner stone of our bottom six.

 

[Whambino]

Buy or Sell:
Bonino - Bennett turns out to be a better combo than Sutter - Bennett.

Buy: Bonino will create more offense on his own and that will allow Bennet to have more space.

Buy: The medical staff will take care of Duper properly (finally) and MJ will use him very effectively in an energy/defense role.

Buy/Sell:
Pouliot finishes amoung top 30 D-men in powerplay points.

Sell. MJ will leave Letang on the top unit too long for DP to do it this year.

Buy or Sell: We have 6 players score 20 goals or more.

Buy. Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, Hörnqvist, Perron, Bonino.

Oskar Sundqvist finishes top 10 in Calder Trophy voting.

Sell, not because he'll suck but rather because he'll lack ice time with the big Pens, hope i'm wrong though.

Horny scores thirty.

 

[Mike Lange Version 2]

Horny scores thirty.

Sell. Just under though.

Buy/Sell: The combined group of Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel will score more points than any other group of 3 from another team.

Sell, not because he'll suck but rather because he'll lack ice time with the big Pens, hope i'm wrong though.

Horny scores thirty.

Buy, if he's healthy. He's going to be on a stacked line one way or the other, and Kessel could provide additional deflection fodder.

Buy or sell, Kunitz scores 50 points.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Sell: Gonna be tough to hit that on the 3rd or 4th line, which is where he better be playing if we can't dump him this summer.

Buy or Sell: Pouliot acquits himself as a guy ready and capable of 2nd pairing minutes and responsibility this season--on both sides of the puck.

I ll buy that.

Will Crosby Malkin and Kessel get 120 goals combined

Or if injuries a gpg of
1.5 between the three of them.

Sell, they'll get 110 at most. Only so many goals to go around. Not that it's impossible mind you.

Will Farnham succeed at luring an opponent into a game misconduct?

Buy

Farnham will get at-least 7 points.

 

[#66]

Buy... but it might happen in WB.

Kessel ends up being the PPQB on the LW halfwall.

 

[Asuna]

Buy/Sell: The Penguins will have less than 100 man games lost.

You're supposed to answer the previous poster's question/proposition.
