Rumor: USA Today - Penguins Very Very interested in Dan Hamhuis

[Zirakzigil]

Kunitz and Bonino for Hamhuis and Vrbata?

 

[Shady Machine]

I'm not saying they should go for rentals this year, but ever heard of Bill Guerin and Ruslan Fedotenko?

Penguins aside, you do understand that teams in contention often make deadline deals right?

Feds was a free agent signing, but yeah rentals can help. You just shouldn't rely on them every year as a means to plug holes.

 

[IcedCapp]

I'd be fine giving up Pouliot for Hamhuis (as part of a package) of Hamhuis wanted to be in Pittsburgh and wasn't a free agent.

Pens have bled assets repeatedly for rentals. It's gotta stop.

A rare live look into the Pens Council of 9 trade discussions...

And wasn't 33.

 

[IcedCapp]

And wasn't 33.

Well that's the beauty of wanting him to not be a FA. If they traded for him and he had two years left, I don't mind 33-35 at that cap hit.

But having to pay him until 38 at that cap hit is dumb

Hopefully these two internet message boards can come together and get a deal done!!

We should elect a HF GM. When they reach a deal with another board's GM, they can send the fax to the Pens to get the deal done. They can be the Assistant to the Assistant General Manager.

I vote Mr Wilson for GM and IcedCapp as AssGM

Sorry I read "not being a FA" as "willing to sign in Pittsburgh". Obviously that's not what you said or meant.

Re-sign Kunitz for 5 years.

Trade Crosby for Despres.

Next day:

Buy out Kunitz

Trade Despres for Strait

Hilarity ensues

Why would you do this to me?

 

[Winger for Hire]

Why would you do this to me?

For my, and the board's, amusement.

 

[HandshakeLine]

HFPens can derail a thread like nobody's business.

Say what you will, but our gif/snark game is woke as ****.

 

[Winger for Hire]

I have no idea what this means, but I'm assuming it's good.

Don't make me meme you, son.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Hamhuis? Ugh....we went down this path years ago. He doesn't want to be here. Won't sign here and will be throwing away assets. We aren't a hamhuis away from a cup

 

[Winger for Hire]

Don't make me meme you, son.

 

[Saints11]

Since I don't get TIOPS, I was not able to see their latest rumor. From what was alluded to, Pens were pursuing another former Ranger (Callahan?), talking with a Western Conference team, moving Cole and Plotnikov. Are there any TIOPS subscribers to verify?

 

[Winger for Hire]

Please come forward so we can point and laugh

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

I love piling on, so, **** no to a rental.

We either make a hockey trade or we sink or swim with what we've got. Maybe grab a guy for a 4th or something.

 

[DoktorZaius]

The only way we should be looking at Hamhuis is if Benning values Cole as a positive asset. We could start from there and do a moderate add. But I'm guessing everyone knows Cole is a bum.

I'm curious as well

thats why he hadn't been playing. Protecting him from injury.

 

[Son Goku]

Why do people even mention TIOPS
