How does Pittsburgh do it?

I am much happier to have Kunitz and Dupuis on our 3rd line rather than our first. I think they could be pretty effective. Dupuis still has speed and is decent. I think everyone forgot his style of play because it's been so long since we've seen him. Before he was out last year he was pretty effective.

I have read the thread. The Flyers fan's post was pretty damn fair, even if it was critical of Pens drafting, which btw, Pens fans have also been critical of as well.

Your response to that was basically, "Well, you suck at drafting, too! Ha!" That's random and completely off-topic, and quite frankly kind of stupid.

Look, your username is a dig at the Flyers and so is your avatar. You also frequently show up in threads about the Flyers to get in a random dig. You almost seem care more about the Flyers than the Pens. So, I always find it amusing when I come across one of your Flyers digs in a thread. Someone could make a drinking game out of it.

I guess you never heard the term "people in glass houses" etc.
maybe he should look at his own team before criticizing. Not sure how you think his comment was "fair". it was clearly a shot at the pens

so yeah, I'll respond to that each and every time I see it. so get ready to drink up I guess

That's not top heavy... that's top obese.

Chicago have over 40m in their top 5 most paid players. And pens have under 40. So I'm sure they'll manage

It may take a Malkin trade to bring them over the top, to bring in some help on D and bottom 6.

I'm already sick of Kessel and his antics. Get him out of Pittsburgh immediately

Their core is the best ,there is no team that matches it

All this negative talk about him in the Toronto media, seriously trade him already!!!!

This will be the first year under the Kane-Toews extensions and you both probably know this so why the **** are you acting like the Hawks won multiple cups with so few players tying up so much cap ?

We do it by going heavy trading back future assets. We are able to do it because we have security for the next while in our strong core.

Any team COULD do it though, it just isn't where their managerial motivations lie.

Malkin really doesn't need to be moved and it's not going to happen

What we need fro our D, is for them to stay healthy

We have a solid 3rd line, we need a couple of 4th liners which we could still sign from UFA

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

All we need is health and a bit of luck. On paper we are as good as any team.

Pens have a great track record for being able to land elite big name wingers without touching their core. First Hossa, then Iggy and now Kessel.


How do they do it?
