GDT: 2014 NHL Trade Deadline Day (Wednesday, Marth 5th, 3pm ET) - Pens Only II

[Randy Butternubs]

Stupid slow, dirty PC!

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Dreger says T. Ruutu is going to be moved any second.

 

[SidDidNothingWrong]

Good. Now they can trade us Kulemin

Do.not.want.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Trades usually trickle in an hour after the official deadline too.

Those fax machines man...I mean, some say face up, some say face down.

 

[Shrimper]

Dreger says T. Ruutu is going to be moved any second.

Please not us.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Moving aside the hesitation I have to make any moves, if Stewart could be had cheaply I wouldn't object.

 

[DoktorZaius]

I think the value of these rentals is actually going down as teams with a desperate need for scoring (like LAK) make their deals.

I wonder this as well. What's left out there, in terms of scoring forwards? Vanek, Cammy, Moulson, Stewart, and then Kesler (though last 2 aren't UFA)? How many teams are actively bidding to grab these guys, I wonder?

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Can't believe how easy it was for LA to land Gaborik. That's a joke.

 

[Skillzz]

Stupid slow, dirty PC!

Keep seeing the same frickin commercials over and over...flex seal, skin tag remover, that glowing putty stuff

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Do.not.want.

The guy has chemistry with Malkin, it might also make an angry Geno even more motivated to have his best friend on his team. I mean the guy was choked that Kulemin wasn't his line mate in Sochi because of their chemistry (as well as a bunch of other reasons but yeah...Kulemin IS the LW for Geno, besides Kunitz, which I think Kulemin can be a version of).

Yea nice deal for LA.

 

[gordie]

I don't want to hate Shero. Don't make me hate you, Shero.

There may be no deal available this year, so he can concentrate of firing his present coach and hiring a new one and then the Draft.

 

[MtlPenFan]

The Pens are 4th in the NHL in scoring and people are melting down because they don't trade for a rental like Hemsky? Really? This team needs a 3rd line that's not a joke far more than a one-dimensional goal scorer.

They were first in scoring last year and scored 2 goals in a 4 game series. Try again.

 

[alcanalz]

There's no chance Toronto moves Kulemin while they're fighting for the playoffs. None.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Moving aside the hesitation I have to make any moves, if Stewart could be had cheaply I wouldn't object.

I'd welcome it at this point.

 

[Crafton]

Dreger says T. Ruutu is going to be moved any second.

Shero's deadline: Ruutu + Smyth. veteran grit. scoring goals be damned.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Please not us.

Why not Zoidberg...I mean us? If Carolina also wants to eat a portion of his contract like Juice, I am all for it.


Good guy Rutherford is a good guy.

 

[USMC607]

Nope.

Haha, well i hope they don't expect him to play LA's defensive grind it out style.

Any sort of contact involving him and i immediately expect his head to pop off like a rock em sock em robot.

 

[Shrimper]

Isn't he injury prone?

Columbus could add Kesler?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Shero's deadline: Ruutu + Smyth. veteran grit. scoring goals be damned.

For the low price of Pouliot, 1st, Wilson, and Archibald.


#Bylsmaing.

Yepp. These forward prices are really low. Why did Shero think finding a winger for Sid was "far fetched" exactly?

That was only if the got Legwand, cause then they would need to move someone else

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Can't believe how easy it was for LA to land Gaborik. That's a joke.

He's a piece of glass with shrinking scoring numbers in the extremely rare case he actually plays who is a pure rental UFA.

Meh.

Had the Penguins acquired him he'd have spontaneously combusted upon picking up the phone.

The Hemsky one is the one that annoys me, and I haven't exactly been a Hemsky cheerleader.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yepp. These forward prices are really low. Why did Shero think finding a winger for Sid was "far fetched" exactly?

I kept saying in the Hemsky thread that the base line was set with the Penner trades and for how much Robidas, Erat, and others went, not just forwards. But no...people thought it'd take a 2nd and blah blah blah...those folks can stuff it.

It's a buyer's market.

Time for Part III.
