Sharks are the only losers in this trade.

W for Grier. Almost no retention, a first, and a few players that can be flipped at the TDL for more picks.

 

[BillyOcean]

Penguins "take all our garbage and give us your best player."

Sure San Jose might actually make the playoffs before the decade is out too.

 

[Divine]

I thought he wanted to go to a playoff team?

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Thank you for the new thread, wayyyy less confusing to follow.

Also, SJ, wtf.

 

[sansabri]

omg Pens retained on Petry. how did Hughes pull this off

 

[Beau Knows]

W for Grier. Almost no retention, a first, and a few players that can be flipped at the TDL for more picks.

They had no other suitors. The only other option was to keep him.

 

[TheYardMachine]

All teams did good
Almost no retention is amazing for the Sharks and they got picks plus assets to trade back

 

[Rec T]

Pens huh, should be interesting. Initial thought seems that the Sharks did ok given what they were working with.

He left a team that had no chance to make the playoffs, to a team that is probably a coin-flip. Given that no other teams were willing to take on the contract, these were the best odds he could get.

W for Grier. Almost no retention, a first, and a few players that can be flipped at the TDL for more picks.

Meh they now lost that retention spot for 4 years. They should have retained more for a better return.

Granlund isnt getting flipped without major retention. Same with hoffman.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Wooow. Bomba.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Cool.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Since in the other one non-hab fans were asking about Petry.

This trade is so convoluted even HFboards' finest minds are left perplexed...

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Feels good to have Dubas.

Every player they got sucks. Hoffman couldn't even fetch a 7th at the last trade deadline, reports were "teams know his game". No playoff team is picking him up. Granlund also isn't a desirable piece. He made the best he could out of a bad situation in that only one team wanted Karlsson.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Horrible by Grier. Get something of substance back at least. Especially if you retain. That 1st will be nothing if the Penguins do try to make a run.

 

[Apex Predator]

Is the penguins first round pick top 10 protected?

 

[EGL22]

Good one for Pens with their window soon closing.
If nothing else should provide a ton of scoring both ways.
I should enjoy the Leafs/Pens 7-6 games this season.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Is the penguins first round pick top 10 protected?

Yes.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

People saying the Pens are messing up their future "rebuild.........Lol...,.....future rebuild?

A team isn't rebuilding with Crosby/Malkin on it. The future rebuild won't see any success for 5-8 years if they are lucky. Giving up a 1st now means nothing on that front.

EK is the highest impact player they could have brought in and makes everyone on that team better.

Rebuilds sound cool until they don't. Just ask some of the many "Rebuilding" teams out there
