Cool beans. Time to dump 2 defensemen please.
Pretty much.
JJ and Maatta gotta go.

It really should be a no-brainer. Dump Maatta/Johnson, find a legitimate top four LD to play with Schultz, and run a defense unit of:
Dumo - Letang
New Guy - Schultz
Pettersson - Gudbranson
Riikola - Ruhwedel
I felt he looked fine when he was playing for the penguins last year, and Rutherford should of sent him down earlier to the baby pens in the 2nd half of the season. Before he got hurt with the baby pens he was playing great, and I'm happy he will be back with the pens.I feel I'm in the minority but I love the kid. People are fickle. I'll be his ride or die then
I don't know if it's decision making or just getting used to the NHL game. I thought earlier in the season he took a bit long to make decisions, but as the season wore on he was quicker with his decisions and it showed (positively) in his various "possession" numbers.
You all loved him once.
I was talking about his decision to re-sign here. I would have gone back home if I were him.
Meh to me him getting a 1 way deal is basically the team saying he will be a mainstay in the top 6.Naw, because he'll be buried and not given any chances with this backlog of mediocre defensemen.
I mean JJ and Maata both blew chunks in their 3 playoff appearances. Sullivan had a choice to sit both their sorry butts in favor of a guy like Rikko to really send a message.
But at least our elimination confirmed that neither is a long term solution on this team. Too bad Sullivan and comp don't see that

I like it.. now fire Sully!
Run Riikola - Prow to start the season. Free up 11.25 million in cap by trading Gudbranson, Johnson and Maatta. Sign Edler @ 6 million and Ferland @ 5 million with the money.
I like Gudbranson, but I would be down with the other two.
I will continue to keep him in the press box and f*** up his development. #daytodayforlyfe
I'd pass on Ferland. I get this Beleskey, Martin, and Clarkson vibe from him.I like Gudbranson, but I would be down with the other two.
I question his decision-making.
Eh, $850k reasons to re-sign here. I doubt he'd make that kind of cash (in one season) back home.
