Definitely a “show me” deal, like McCann’s imo, but I’m not sure what the end game is with Tallon. 8guys signed now on the back end and we needed more help than Kiselevich, I think.

He gets the leverage moving forward. Likely gone at the deadline of not before the season in some package deal.

Florida has a #1, a #2, a #3, and four 3rd pairing guys lol

Hopefully he stays there.

Hopefully he stays there.

He's fine

excellent signing! cheap and can play #2-#7 dman depending on situation. he's also played on the pp and pk. very steady player and physical, but we have depth at d and he could be in play for a trade if circumstances are right.

They do? I think they have two #2's and a #4 myself.

If that's the case, it's actually pretty good. #1/#2 and #3 are hard to find. If you're only missing a #4, but have a couple of #5-#6, you have no real problem here.

You wouldn't consider Yandle a low end #1?
Ekblad is a decent #2.
Matheson is a #4 right now but this year he should become a #3.

..who’s the 1D?

 

[that is unfortunate]

#2 Yandle
#3 Ekblad
who's the #1?

 

[Michoulicious]

Also known as "the guy they kept instead of Marchessault".

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

It's amazing to me that there are people who think Yandle isn't one of the 30 best dmen in the league lol

 

[markog]

He's fine

He should be more then fine, you gave Smith and Marschesault to protect him lmao.

Lmaooooo , actually we didn’t

 

[Michoulicious]

Actually, Panthers chose to protect Petrovic AND Pysyk, sending Marchessault and Reilly to Vegas. They could have chosen to expose either Petrovic or Pyskyk, but chose not to.

Quite a mistake, unfortunately.

Was hoping Pens would trade for Petro but it aint happening.

Mark Pysyk is absolutely a top-4 defenseman, arguably a #3.

Wrong. Maybe last season you would have had a case but he completely regressed this season and played consistently terrible for the majority of the season.

Not accurate.

Nah, Pysyk was buns last year.

Not a mistake at all Dadonov is equal to or superior to Marchessault we signed him to replace and Smith came off of a 37 point season and held a huge contract. It’s great they performed well during a year which all of the Vegas players overproduced not let’s see them reproduce at a rate that is no where near their career average .
