Much to my surprise.

Malkin's RW for next year obviously

 

[jmelm]

Cool. AHL fodder. It's important we have a competitive team in WBS and Nylander will help down there.

I'd also be equally cool with a 30 year old who could produce the same or more as him down there, because he's not making the NHL anyway.

Surprised he didn't go back to Sweden.

 

[Ryder71]

Surprised he didn't go back to Sweden.

I'm not.

 

[dogthateats]

I'm not.

Me neither

 

[Coastal Kev]

I dreamed a dream that Sully gave young guys legitimate shots.

 

[OnMyOwn]

He played really well from what I saw/read. Im glad he’s back.

 

[Pens x]

Doesnt matter. He’ll never get a shot here with dumb and dumber Sully and Hextall, and their hatred of AHL player.

 

[Coastal Kev]

In NHL 22, his RFA tender was 6.8 million.

 

[Ryder71]

I'm stoked! Love the signing, Ronny doin that thing he does! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!

 

[AuroraBorealis]

30 points in 44 games down there. Big part of getting that team to turn it around and make the playoffs.
I hope he kills it in camp and makes decisions difficult.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Realistically speaking, its highly unlikely that he becomes anything more than what he is now right

 

[Peat]

Realistically speaking, its highly unlikely that he becomes anything more than what he is now right

I dunno. He's been NHL productive. It doesn't seem like the rest of his game fits the NHL but he's underperforming what he can do right now to an extent. I guess it is highly unlikely but without being close to the coaches' evaluation of his game it's tough to say,

 

[Night Shift]

Calder cup here we come, let's go boys

 

[LosingStreak06]

Phew! Rest easy boys, we are all set for next season. The final piece is in place.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

This signing is destined to always be remembered as the straw that broke Geno's poor ego's back.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Clearly Heinen's replacement.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Well, thank god we kept Nylander. This is the lynchpin that keeps it all together.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Well, thank god we kept Nylander. This is the lynchpin that keeps it all together.

But they had to part ways with that kid that blew himself up when he got drunk and put a gas tank next to an open fire.

Win some, you lose some.

 

[Gubbhornet]

This guy should have gone to Switzerland. It's the perfect leauge for him.

 

[Jacob]

I don’t see Sullivan keeping him on the NHL squad like he did ERod. He’s not versatile like that, he’s not bad defensively but he’s not a bottom 6 guy. Zohorna & DOC are probably ahead of him on the depth chart just because they can do that. Still young though and cheap so he’ll be valuable for WB/S and will certainly earn some call-ups.

 

[ZEBROA]

Still hope he turns it around. Would not even bet my last bonbon on it , but still, i hope he brings it this year.

 

[HandshakeLine]

I totally forgot we did this.

 

[Jacob]

He's so far down the depth chart that I don't see him getting much of an opportunity. He's gotta be like the 16th forward.

 

[Flying Dego]

He's so far down the depth chart that I don't see him getting much of an opportunity. He's gotta be like the 16th forward.

Uhh this is the Penguins. When's the last time we didn't have 4+ players out at a time for extended periods??

Nylander's a guarantee to play if he's #16
