Is this worded badly or is it just me?
He'll only play if it's fun and good for his body and family.
So sounds like retire or Pitt are the only 2 options he's looking at

I didn't see Derrick Pouliot play this season... What's the bottom line on him?
1). Why is he still a WB/S Pens? Does he need more development, or because of the Penguins other the D-men contracts?
2). Does Pouliot remind you guys of any other Penguin/NHL defenseman that I could compare his game to?
why do i feel we should have been able to beat the montreal offer for Druin?
would have been great as 3c for us
Sergachev is a top prospect, highly coveted. I don't think the Pens had anything near the equivalent to offer.
But man oh man...

Unless he has his legs surgically replaced or bionics added, Maata has to go. If speed and skill are the criteria, Olli ain't part of the picture. Not sure who would want to add him though. Probably stuck with him...
1) He stinks. He just hasn't progressed. He's gotten worse if anything.
2) Uhh...no. I occasionally flashes of Andrei Markov in him but they're extremely rare. Most of the time he looks worse than Joe Melichar.
Pouliot sucks at every facet of the game at the NHL level, imo. He's slow, both in terms of footspeed and thinking. He's terrible defensively, and a complete non-factor with regard to transition and offensive pressure/production.
There is a very good reason he didn't get a lot of time this season with the big club, even with injuries ravaging the blueline.
Maybe he turns it around, but it's gonna take a crazy 180 for that dude to become anything more than an AHL-fodder defenseman. On his best games, he looked bad. On his worst games, he was unbearable.

the Habs need D, moreso after trading Sergachev, and Galchenyuk is apparently available...seems to make some sense to me. Although I'm fine with keeping Maatta as well.
Guentzel, who's better than Drouin (though less flashy, obviously), in my opinion.

maybe not a prospect. but we have maatta for example. And while we are thin on D i would gladly have traded him for Drouin. We are even worse of at center. i mean, we cant go into next season with Rowneay and sundqvist as 3/4 C.
ofc, its a long way to go and im sure we will fill the spots. But i justg feel Drouin would have been great as our 3rd C if we wanna keep 3-4 scoring lines.
