I'm going to puke if that's the deal.

 

[Mooslan]

Is it really 51?

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Trading a 1st rounder for Reaves? Is JR drunk?

So gmjr DID suffer a blow to the head. Or he's still drunk from the cup celebration.

Ugh

I honestly didnt think St.louis would trade reaves. Fan favorite and does his job perfectly.

Im thinking its a slight overpayment from Pitssburgh if St.louis does trade Reaves

 

[The Grim Reaper]

If the Pens trade the 31st for ****ing Ryan Reaves with Tolvanen and Kostin still available...

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

please no.

 

[who_me?]

Now how do the Flyers respond?

 

[Vitto79]

Is it really 51?

What's so bad about a 4th liner and a 2nd for a late 1st?

 

[orby]

not inexcusable in a weak draft but this is the kind of trade that seems like it's guided more by emotion than reason

 

[Penske]

What's so bad about a 4th liner and a 2nd for a late 1st?

A lot. He's worth a 4th rounder

 

[WilliamNylander]

Oh wow.

Not to mention the fact that they protected Reaves from being gobbled up by VGK instead of Perron. The last thing I expected, after protecting an enforcer from expansion, is a prompt trading of said enforcer.

 

[PensPlz]

Rutherford doing his best Shero impersonation

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Why not protect Perron and trade him instead? Would've gotten more value, no?

 

[Vitto79]

A lot. He's worth a 4th rounder

lol well Pittsburgh wanted toughness right ?

 

[OVO16]

Pens fans are hating the trade right now but they are gonna be loving Ryan Reaves when the season starts. Dude is one of the most feared players when it comes to the rough stuff.

[Lustaf]

Are you ****ing kidding me... move down 20 spots for a god damn 4th liner with 1 year left on his deal?

Look we won two straight cups but WTF.

 

[Kryten]

Damn Reaves is a perfect 4th liner. pens are gunna love him

 

[Il Stugotz]

Damn, this makes the Blues better

 

[Iceman]

31 for Reaves + 51?

Hahaha for real? Can't be real?

 

[SomeDude]

Guessing 31 for Reaves and a D like Schmaltz
