No Chance of Fluerys
Les Go!
If possible the time has come to move on from TK. Move him with a prospect and/or pick in an attempt to secure a legit top six. The problem is I'm not sure there is a market of any kind for him out there.
As for Tangradi; I was a major supporter of his last year and this year. However, I have come to believe that he is a victim of the Penguin's system as anything else. He seems more suited for the Western Conference than the Eastern one; there just seems like there is more emphasis on speed in the East than in the West.
Jeffrey is better as a C than he is as a Wing; again it is a lack of speed. So......
the speed component leaves the Pens with few options.....Boychuk or Bennett or a trade.
I agree on the trade TK, hell I would trade him, dupuis, and martin for 1 good winger and a bag of pucks with a hole in the bottom.
Tangradi never really showed me much of anything. I think he's a good player, and may be a great 2nd or 3rd liner in some west coast team. Like you said, a victim of the penguins system.
Not so sure Jeffreys has a lack of speed, but he certainly doesn't use it all that much. The only switch of positions i saw that i liked was putting adams on a wing rather than center, even though he has been known to be decent with faceoffs sometimes.
I think if you make a trade, and bring up bennett, we'd be set to go by the end of the season, and ready to make a tremendous playoff run.
