Hopefully this means I see Teddy on Saturday
If he gets injured on Friday you better watch your back mateYou will.
They only have 12F's with the Bluegs call up.
ETA:
Wait, you said Saturday.
Yea, he could get injured Friday...
I'm gonna say it: Garret Wilson has been quite good for the Pens this year and gets too much hate because of his reputation as a useless grinder. He's been played in tough situations and still been a positive impact on the ice. I have no great desire to push him out of the lineup unless it's necessary.
i wish we would have traded for a cheap depth forward for like a 5-6 round pick. especially since we subtracted from the froward grp woth pearson gone.
People on here were complaining about Pearson and wanted him traded, now he's gone, people don't want him to have been traded? wut

Probably thought we could get more, have to remember what we got him for as well. I get it with Guds. Dude is not good, at least with his time in Vancouver. But there was a time in Florida where he was fantastic. I'm coming around to hoping he can be that again.People on here were complaining about Pearson and wanted him traded, now he's gone, people don't want him to have been traded? wut
Its a big community. Vocal complaining doesn't mean there's not a bunch of people who disagree but who aren't saying much. I'm not super bothered, but I thought there was enough in Pearson to make it worth keep trying unless something good came up... and Gudbranson doesn't look to be that.

He's largely useless IMO and just seems to be part of this era of unskilled players that the penguins for some reason employ. He's exactly what we do not need.I'm gonna say it: Garret Wilson has been quite good for the Pens this year and gets too much hate because of his reputation as a useless grinder.

I think the real frustrating part about Gudbranson is we could have given a first up for Jensen and had a solid bottom pairing D for a couple years at below 3 mil that if Schultz walks could hopefully at least fill that role slightly.
As if there's any logical reason to acquire EG.Not really. If Wilson was players they were focusing on based simply on analytics we’d never acquire a player like EG.
Thing with him is he's supposedly this menacing hitter that'll stick up for his teammates.
I haven't seen uh much of that.
I'd prefer to take a Blandisi or Haggerty for a spin at this very moment simply because theres a much higher likelihood that they produce 5on5 vs Wilson.
But i get it, they consider him a safe role player that'll try to throw his weight around that can PK in their minds.
In theory sure, but he has had sparkling underlying numbers for us. I think we've been (I certainly have been) biased against him because he does seem to represent the crap we don't want in the lineup and he's been in over Blueger and Sprong before him. But he's given us everything we could ask for from a 13th forward. He's not Tanner Glass.He's largely useless IMO and just seems to be part of this era of unskilled players that the penguins for some reason employ. He's exactly what we do not need.
they said the same thing about reaves. but we never saw it with him either. I have to think its the coach not letting them play that way. and that means we won't see much of it with gud.Thing with him is he's supposedly this menacing hitter that'll stick up for his teammates.
I haven't seen uh much of that.
That defence gives me flashbacks to the mid 90's-mid 2000's Penguins.
Gudbranson and fantastic shouldn’t be used in the same sentence
