Please only post reports/speculation from valid media members. Fans/Twitter chatter will be deleted. Thank you.

 

[Hydro]

So what's happening now? Gotta think with the Pens staying quiet they aren't done?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

i think we are going to sign Semin and trade with STL. This is going to be a huge day!

 

[SeventyOne]

Shattenkirk supposedly being on the block is intriguing. I don't want him in a Flyers uni.

 

[AR5]

i think we are going to sign Semin and trade with STL. This is going to be a huge day!

ABSOLUTELY agree on that. Strong suspicion on both of those.

 

[penguins2946*]

Pens lineup as of right now:

Kunitz-Crosby-Kessel (or Perron-Crosby-Hornqvist)
Perron-Malkin-Hornqvist (or Kunitz-Malkin-Kessel)
Dupuis-Sutter-Bennett
Wilson-Sundqvist-Rust

Maatta-Letang
Pouliot-Cole
Dumoulin-Lovejoy

That's pretty damn solid already and we're 2 and a half hours into free agency.

 

[Waffle Fries]

So what's happening now? Gotta think with the Pens staying quiet they aren't done?

Definitely not done, but I wouldn't be surprised if we were done for the day.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

I see JR woke up and took some viagra this morning

 

[Uemoda]

Shattenkirk is super intriguing. Would love him here.

 

[Zero Pucks]

We're gonna have too many wingers.

 

[Asuna]

Yeah, Flyers may get Shattenkirk....oooo ahhhh

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

Pens lineup as of right now:

Kunitz-Crosby-Kessel (or Perron-Crosby-Hornqvist)
Perron-Malkin-Hornqvist (or Kunitz-Malkin-Kessel)
Dupuis-Sutter-Bennett
Wilson-Sundqvist-Rust

Maatta-Letang
Pouliot-Cole
Dumoulin-Lovejoy

That's pretty damn solid already and we're 2 and a half hours into free agency.

I know we can't have everything of course, but the D is kinda scary honestly.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I see JR woke up and took some viagra this morning

He doesnt need that. We still have Beauner

 

[Extra Texture]

The Blues lost Michalek and Jackman to free agency. How can they afford to trade Shattenkirk now?

That said, my god, if they want to move him do it NOW.

 

[AR5]

He doesnt need that. We still have Beauner

Solid. Gold.

LOL.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

The Blues lost Michalek and Jackman to free agency. How can they afford to trade Shattenkirk now?

That said, my god, if they want to move him do it NOW.

They have a stupid GM. Remember that.

 

[FanaticalFan]

why do people think we can dump anyone? we couldn't even dump anyone on TOR the richest team with cap space. People need to realize we are stuck with Scuderi and probably Kunitz as well. nobody is taking any salary in this cap crunch era. and Scuds and Kunitz aren't going to do us any favors and wave their no trade clause

 

[3074326]

Shattenkirk would address the concern I have on D. Semin would be a nice low risk/high reward player.

If we could somehow swing a deal for Shattenkirk and Oshie, then holy ****. We still have expendable pieces with value.

 

[TheCraigAdamsZone]

Sutter+ for Hanzal?

 

[ImporterExporter]

Would you move DP in a deal for Shattenkirk?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

What's my man Sweeney up to?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Would you move DP in a deal for Shattenkirk?

After the Kessel trade, I think DP is a Penguin for life.

 

[Letang fan 58]

Would you move DP in a deal for Shattenkirk?

really fast before they could think about it

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

Amazing deal for Kessel, but I guess we lost those russians? I just got home from work.
