Whoa

 

[Gurglesons]

Absolutely love it.

Bjugstad is neat. Not sure what the point of McCann is.. would rather have kept a pick or two and save some money.

 

[Malkinstheman]

I like the Mcann pickup, young C with some pedigree. Anyone got a scouting report on Bjugstad?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Crazy. I thought they’d go after Bjugstad last season.

 

[Malkinstheman]

They added about $325,000 in this trade as well.

McCann is likely the 3C in the eyes of the organization.

Bummer Big Game Brass didn’t work out. That trade was great on paper

 

[Icarium]

Well, we did get rid of two of the biggest disappearing acts in the roster, that's gotta be good, right? Unless Bjugstad and McCann are noticeable but in a bad way, that is.

I'm a fan of Mccann.

The question i have with Bjugstad is how good of a center is he?

I don't watch enough Florida games, but i know people say hes a better winger then center.

The Bjugstad contract is a little scary. But getting McCann for two UFAs is great. Plus we get younger.

 

[Shockmaster]

Well, word was the Penguins wanted to get a little bigger. This helps.

With Florida being 11 points out of the last Wild Card spot, I have to think they flip Brassard and Sheahan before the deadline.

He doesn’t play much center. I assume this means either Rust or Kessel are gone this summer or they flip Bjugstad.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

I don't like giving up so many picks. We definitely overpaid here.

 

[NMK11]

Interesting trade. Not sure what Bjugstad will bring to the team if he's not playing center. Really seems like we took a lot of salary for Florida too.

Can't say I know much about McCann, any scouting reports on him?

Well let's put it this way, the Panthers have used McCann as the center over him.

JM has looked decent as a bottom 6 C for Florida IMO. Bjugstad can play with skilled players as the winger, maybe less effective playing with grinders.

Bjugstad - Barkov - Dadonov was really good for Florida when they made their big push last year, couldn't replicate same success this year though so Bjugstad's been moving around.

I’m interested to see whether they play Bjugstad at wing or center.

At least it wasn't a first.

 

[Gurglesons]

I don't like giving up so many picks. We definitely overpaid here.

We got a 22 year old long term 3C that is why we gave up picks. And it’s a second and some 4ths.

Who cares. This should give us long term center depth for the remainder of Sid and Geno’s career.

Brassard and Sheahan for Bjugstad is the cap deal.

Rust - Malkin - Bjugstad is a killer line.

 

[Darren McCord]

Can either play left wing?

 

[3074326]

Added salary and sent out too many picks. Is the team better? Maybe..?

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Is this a good trade for the Pens?

 

[billybudd]

I guess JR was as impressed with the 2014-15 Panthers as I was. He keeps picking up their alumni, haha. Trochek next, pls

 

[Malkinstheman]

So Mcann is the C and Bjugstad was acquired to be a winger? Does this mean we arent trading for Ferland anymore?
