I think it's fair to question Marino, Pens fans seemed to have cooled off on him. He does seem solid defensively but I do think some people are overrating his puck moving ability. But then again, if he's paired with Hughes then that's not much of an issue. But I don't think he's the kind of guy who you can pair with someone like OEL and expect him to carry the pairing.Your hate on Marino is irrational
Usually this means the contract talk isn’t going anywhere, Motte is probably gone by TDL
If thats the case..I think they are going to take a stab at signing Miller.Damn that’s sucks. We are moving the wrong player
Still don’t get this whole “if they move Garland that means they’re signing Miller” theoryIf thats the case..I think they are going to take a stab at signing Miller.
Also a guy that can do a good job as a top PKer. At his best Tanev is a good comp - Hamhuis is another as a guy who can play PP minutes but shouldn't if you are a good team.
At worst you should be getting a player that can anchor a second pairing, signed to a reasonable contract through his 24-29 year old seasons. It's hard to know in a vacuum, but assuming Boeser will take $6.5-7 million with term to re-sign, Marino seems like a better bet to both meet and exceed his contract value.
Marino is a second-pair player on a strong team and the guy ahead of him on Pittsburgh's RD depth chart is going to get genuine Hall of Fame consideration. He's mobile, positionally sound and has respectable puck skills. You don't think that's an upgrade on what's here? Anyway, I've said all that I care to say because I don't see why Pittsburgh would move him.
I think that Garland is the easiest, and most attractive financially to move out..Maybe they do move Boeser out, maybe they dont (depends on if he wants to stay, and for how much..?)....Still don’t get this whole “if they move Garland that means they’re signing Miller” theory
That theory makes way more sense if they move the more expensive Boeser.
Or if the theory is that they’ll move both which seems like bizarre way to convince Miller to sign lol
i like him... he's solidly 3-4-5 on a depth chart but he hasn't been as good as his rookie year and if i'm cashing in big ticket items i want it to be for a impact player not just someone who can fill a top4 spot and i'm concerned he's trending the wrong way but i guess you can say that with Boeser although i've already stated my case that he bounces backYour hate on Marino is irrational
I think player ability wise they are roughly equalI don’t know if I would do Garland for Marino… Garland play style, age and contract fit this team moving forward.
Again he missed by 1 goal in 62 games yr1 and probably would have got 30 if Green hadn't weirdly sat him to start the year.I’m playing a semantics game? Boeser is a perennial 30 goal scorer that has never scored 30. Just stating a fact. Consistency and durability are required to hit that mark and he hasn’t.
Good god is Garland ever a Penguins winger now that I think about itPens would be smart to ask for Garland knowing that JR/Allvin have a chub for some Pens players
He might be the same height as an actual penguin tooGood god is Garland ever a Penguins winger now that I think about it
