*Trades Perron and Bennett*

Seriously, can we just get rid of Scuderi? Morehouse has to have some shady connection that can help.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

I assume this is so he can retire a Penguin. It's way too early in the summer for try-outs.

Camp is a few weeks away, this is probably so he has 2-3 weeks to get his ass off the couch and into the gym

Every day I pull the boards up... I just look for "Confirmed with Link - Scuderi traded to _____________"

So far, GMJR has delivered everything. That's the missing piece. (dat pun...)

I want to see Malkin's insane motivational level to win Gonch another cup

Agreed... a minimum salaray and dumping Scuds somehow, someway would be perfect. His instruction to Pouliot would help his development insanely. And to fill in as a 7th D here and there, fine by me.

And finally, Geno's best bud back in the fold would be awesome. Just to see the Gonch to Geno one timer a couple times this year would make it all worth it.

 

[Asuna]

He's presence in the locker room is almost worth a contract.....almost.

 

[Human]

Whatever... Make him an assistant coach and let him deal with the PP exclusively.

That's not a bad idea, once he retires I can see him being a coach, always worked well with teammates and younger players, maybe he can even coach in WBS.

Like he could replace the genius of Tocchetyou****ingidiot.

The man is a visionary.

It'd wrap up the turnaround summer for JR so nicely.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Good for Plotnikov.

Never.

 

[MeticulouslyDishevel]

Not falling over every 5 seconds or at his discretion makes him faster.

It could be close this season, idk. He's 41, ffs.

What's the opposite of a race?

 

[AjaxTelamon]

Whatever... Make him an assistant coach and let him deal with the PP exclusively.

Yeah really. He can take Tocchet's spot behind the bench and suit 'em up as the #7 as needed.

Once again, ASSUMING Scuds is gone. Right? Right?

 

[Zero Pucks]

I'm not sure if we got enough experience with that Lovejoy deal, the team somehow got worse, better look into signing Gonchar.

If we start this season with Scuderi, Lovejoy and Gonchar on our blueline; I'm jumping off a ****ing bridge.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

What's the opposite of a race?

Scuderi vs Gonchar, apparently.

Adams can be the third nonracer. Going as slow as humanly possible while "skating".

 

[Ogrezilla]

sign Gonchar as a powerplay coach or something instead

 

[dr robbie]

Were slowly assembling the 09 team for another run

Apparently Matt Cooke and TK want tryouts too. I think you are right

 

[Mike Lange Version 2]

Were slowly assembling the 09 team for another run

TK, Staal, and the works?

Seriously though I think he just wanted to retire as a penguin. I REALLY doubt he makes the roster, but hell, if it means JR will ACTUALLY TRADE SCUDS I'm all for it.

This is where I'm at. If it means JR can sleep better at night after trading Scuds, great. Old guy quota

 

[Uncle Machete]

Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to have him as a #7 on a very cheap one-year contract. There's no development to take into consideration with him, so he doesn't have to play regularly like every other d-man in the system.

Plus the already stated turoring of Pouliot et al.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

3 senarios...

1. Cant cut it and retires a penguin
2. Brought in to mentor Pouliot and Plotkinen and will eventually move to a coaches or front office role.
3. Makes team as seventh D if and only if Scuds is dealt.

 

[Zero Pucks]

I still don't want ****ing Gonchar on this team, even if we trade Scuds.

 

[Zero Pucks]

If Gonchar is signed, who here doesn't believe he's not going to get the special veteran treatment from the Pens? The more you suck, the more icetime you'll get.
