Rumor: Kypreos: Penguins willing to trade Letang
- Thread starter Empoleon8771
- Start date
The only question is whether that is a hedge designed to prevent Letang having a concussed ego if he isn't traded or part of the orchestrated pushback you typically see from the Pens in a case like this (a player of Letang's caliber where it's floated that he's available).

And here's another mouthpiece saying the same thing. I don't think it's coincidence that all of these are happening at once.
Considering how the majority of this thread is about Letang's injury history, I find your choice of words pretty amusing.
Concussed ego.

No, this is the team talking through the media. They're squashing this rumor.

One thing I've wondered throughout the last week...Friedman had been dead wrong on the Penguins before. He reported Malkin was unhappy and would welcome a trade in 2015 and defended it 100%. No one else substantiated it, people shot it down and he took mass amounts of grief from Pens fans. Long story short, I don't necessarily trust him

Oh i know, i was just kidding. I guess this takes us back to what JR meant by a big shake up then?

Apparently you don't understand what the word baseless means.
Letang is having a bad year. He has a long injury history. He is on IR right now. It's far from baseless to say that other teams are factoring that in and may decide they don't want him.
But yeah... whatever.

As much fun as it is to entertain a trade that moves moron-mode Letang for a bunch of useful pieces, does anyone really think we're moving him? Really?

Because they were willing to trade him, but they didn’t get the value they wanted.

I think they put it out there, and if they got what they needed...they would have absolutely moved him....i also think they found out exactly what the market was for a guy with Letang's injury history and contract, and it wasn't good.

You're entitled to speculate whatever you like, but considering Karlsson provided a no-trade list a few weeks ago and hasn't been moved either, one could easily apply the same "found out exactly what the market was for the guy, and it wasn't good" logic to him.

actually it is baseless. because your opinion on what LEtang's value is amongst General Managers in the NHL has no tether to reality. its baseless. you have no information on what they think. its lacking a base. or a foundation. you make the assumption that what you value is universally valued and then build your entire claim off of that
if adam larsson can net you taylor hall, imagine what trading kris letang could get you

We are talking Friedman and Kypreos...say what you want about them, but they have a little more insight than Eklund.
That said, i am not sure why the Pens would shop him....so maybe they never were.
