I hope Kane just grabs the next pens who trips an Oiler and beats the snot out of him.

Ludwig is a clown.

So is Kane.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Does Pittsburgh keep the pick if they end up in the 8/9/10 position or accept their losses and ask Crosby where he wants to be traded and go for a tank next year (with the likelihood that they are a worse team next season regardless, and next year's draft projected a bit stronger)?

Kane’s turned into a notable locker room cancer, you hate to see it

Crosby has already reportedly given his top 3 teams for a trade

Concerning just how poorly Edmonton is playing, but Pittsburgh is still worse. This is a team Edmonton should be dominating, not going toe to toe with

I've been watching hockey for 35+ years, I think thats the first time I have ever seen a guy jump a player and fight because of a high stick. What a dumb ass

Outside of the Crosby situation ( I simply don’t see them trading him away. Malkin/Letang/Karlsson would go first)

The rest is the big question. Thankfully they are in a spot to figure it out on their own because they will certainly be picking top 10.

Who wants any of those guys at their cap hit?

Those guys retained can easily be shipped out. The contracts aren’t ridiculous. Karlsson’s would be the toughest but he’s also playing the best of the 3.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Pickard probably got called away not from the hit, but how he flew himself backwards.

 

[BHD]

Probably had to do more with the embellishment than the actual collision

Sure, you could retain and move them. I just don’t see getting much back. Crosby at least brings back a great return if he’ll accept a move

You aren't very familiar with Pittsburgh, are you?

An Oiler embellish?? Never!

I would assume that if they were to get rid of all of them outside of Crosby, the ultimate and main goal of it would be to take the tanking to the maximum level. Not necessarily any sort of meaningful return. Especially with the age of Letang and Malkin.

That’s fair

 

[BallardEra]

Especially with the age of Letang and Malkin.

Sid and Letang will both be 37 to start next season. Malkin will be 38.

Sid looks the better of those three though.

Crosby's been connected to being re-signed come July 1st.

Letang is 7th in 5v5 points amongst defensemen.

The odds of him being traded and very low, he’s still the face of the NHL and the real value he brings to Pittsburgh is too high. You don’t trade away one of your greatest marketable assets

The team is going to be in a rebuild on the fly. Next season the Pens lose some older guys and additions probably has them in a better place next season. I doubt they'll be a top 5/10 team.

Crosby has earned the right to decide what happens. Talk to him behind a closed door and discuss how he wants to finish his career.
