I can live with this one. Term is a little long but won't matter in 4 years. I like Graves so I'm good with the signing

 

[Gold Diamond]

He's under 30!

 

[KareemTrustfund]

He put up 28 points and 26 points the last couple of years. He’s good defensively from what I recall. Could have done worse.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Like this one about 100x more than Jarry.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

More details:

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

6'5 220, and a mullet that you could lick for days, what's not to like?

 

[Victor Z]

Graves-Letang
Petts-Petry

Not the worst top 4.

 

[ncm7772]

I know nothing about this guy. But my fellow maniacs don’t seem to hate it, so I can live with it.

 

[Shrimper]

Assume that's us out of EK

 

[Jacob]

Graves-Letang
Petts-Petry

Not the worst top 4.

Joseph - Rutta is a solid, and relatively cheap, bottom pairing too.

 

[Malkinstheman]

The fact that hes not Brian Dumoulin is a massive upgrade. Nearly the same cap hit as well.

 

[molon labe]

Lidstrom couldn't prop up a team backed by Jarry.

'Give a F at this point.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Him and Letang can duke it out for the teams hair of the year award.

Assume that's us out of EK

Not according to Bob MacKenzie

Joseph - Rutta is a solid, and relatively cheap, bottom pairing too.

I'm not really sold on Rutta (he was advertised as being gritty & physical when he's really neither) and P.O. Turnstile is ass. As a relatively sheltered 3rd-pair guy I guess Rutta is passable.

At least let Ty Smith finally play, trade POJ while anyone still thinks he has value (or bump him to #7 if nobody else wants him) -- and don't let Chad Ruhwedel get anywhere near this roster ever again.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

You look that man right into that fine ass mullet and tell me he isn't worth that deal.

He has that permanently exasperated look like Tanev had and that I think we’ve been missing.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I can't complain about this. It's fair.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

He has that permanently exasperated look like Tanev had and that I think we’ve been missing.

I mean it looks like he has a ferret growing out of his head, I love it.

Graves-Letang
Petts-Petry

Not the worst top 4.

Not the worst, but not good enough to be a Cup contender either, IMO.

I don't dislike the player (Graves), but I think Letang needs someone higher caliber at Letang's age. This isn't 28 year old Letang who just simply needs a dependable #4 stay at home type, this Letang needs someone that's closer to a top pairing defender themselves.

I don’t think this as anywhere close as bad as people in the main board topic, including a few Pens fans. Was happy to see this thread was reasonable.

4.5 is fine. 6 years doesn’t matter because our core will be 95 years old.

Graves seems like a very solid add, and he's under 30. I like it.
