...and the Plot thickens... Sorry, that was too easy.

Good news, more info on the guy would be much appreciated by most.

Now that the window will be open for teams to talk to pending UFAs (tomorrow), I wonder if the Pens will attempt to sign Victor Tihkonov to shore up their bottom 6 given that he and Plot & Malkin are all good friends and have experience playing with each other.

Just saw the thread on the rumors board and if he is as described by those who have seen him, he and Sundqvist can really help transform their small, mushy bottom six.

Combine that with you calling Sutter being on the block before even the great oracle Josh Yohe and it's a goddamned wonder you haven't been tapped for DK's little ********** blog!

Even if he doesn't work on Malkin's line, I think he'd still be a pretty damn good winger for Sundqvist on the 3rd line. Plotnikov-Sundqvist-Bennett sounds like a pretty solid 3rd line IMO.

You're forgetting Duper. All signs point to him being cleared to play by the time the season starts this fall. We've talked about the wisdom of it, but it looks like it's happening.

Still, it would be nice if we somehow managed to address our needs via FA and were able to move the usual suspects for picks and/or prospects.

Amen. The cost effectiveness of this move helps with the cap greatly, we can actually afford to overpay for an FA like Frolik and it won't hurt us, rather than waste assets on acquiring someone. Get rid of Sutter for a late first or 2nd this year, and Kunitz for whatever futures we can, and buy out Scuds, and I'll be pretty happy.

Sound it out ...

But the Pens already have a deal in place with him it sounds like.

That was more of a long term thing, I want that to be our 3rd line in the future.

Then it's a curious choice of words with "intend", don't you think? The team can intend to do all kinds of things. What they actually do is an entirely different story. It is positive that they're looking in that direction. But given this org's history of saying things and then delivering on them <cough>Despres talk from Mario/Burkle interview</cough>, and the sketchy source I think I'll wait to plan the parade until a signed contract is delivered to NHL registry.
