wow i just saw Heatley is still only 33 years old, what the hell happened to this guy, he was considered like top 5 player for couple of years. Wonder how he could fall so hard down to this at still a young age.
Every single person that wants him on this team deserves to be banned from the Pens board and banned from claiming to be a fan.
Not even kidding.
Absolutely. I'd be shocked if MPS dropped to us.NO thanks to Heatley. Gads!
Yes please on MPS. Kid has had troubles and isn't much of a solution to anything but the 4th line. But he is still an asset that could yet turn out to be a real quality player once he puts 25% of his tools together.
I imagine he will get claimed by someone else for exactly those reasons though. Might not get past Carolina.
Hard to say when he barely plays actually. Pääjärvi-Svensson has some speed, but his hockey IQ seems to be close to Megna´s level. That´s the issue with him.HOw good is MPS's defensive game. It would be hard not to take a free look at those tools if he is in anyway competent in his own zone and backchecking.
HOw good is MPS's defensive game.
Edit: just checked and it is noon so we should know in a couple of hours or so. If Shero there would be zero chance of a claim. JR is much more likely.
How's so? JR hasn't done any waiver claims yet for the Penguins (there's been guys like Setoguchi, Brunner, Roy etc. on waivers this season). Where as Shero claimed Pyatt last season, Boychuk the year before... Was JR any more active than that using the waiver wire during his days in Carolina?
