Confirmed with Link: Mikael Granlund for a 2nd Round pick

[Headshot77]

Why would we get a player with so many sad red squares when we could have gotten a player with happy blue squares.

 

[spfan]

He has more points than Zucker this year

1 more point in 2 more games played.

Slower, not a shooter, less physical.

Blah!

 

[AjaxTelamon]

GMRH made the softest team in the league softer somehow.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

At least he goes to the front of the net alot.

 

[Pens1566]

What in the actual f***???

 

[Trade]

If there’s no retention, this is a fireable move. Add a guy over 30 that can’t finish and makes way too much money to help fix a bottom six that can’t finish and makes too much money.

Don’t forget soft as butter. Granlund checks all the boxes.

He easily becomes the best playmaker in our bottom-6 if that’s how he’s used. Silver linings.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I mean, I like the player just fine, he’s just not what we need, we have what he brings, and we shouldn’t be spending the Cap space on redundancy. This is very strange.

 

[orby]

Granlund is a better and younger 3C than Carter. Scored 64 points last year. Value is okay...but this can't be the big move, can it?

 

[Dick Sledge]

Was he not scoring on a breakaway that big of a sell for ol’ hexy

 

[Terrapin]

In 40 years of watching hockey I've never seen an organization so hell bent on fielding the softest roster in history. It really is something to behold. Since the last 5 playoffs haven't woke these idiots up to the reality of the NHL, then nothing's going to.

Best of luck to everyone who continues to support this team of cucks. I've had enough

 

[Factorial]

WHO’s Pittsburg?

 

[xlm34]

I don't know how anyone can defend Hextall after this one.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Someone tell Hextall that it is not 2018 anymore. What the hell is he doing? Granlund's contract is worse than what I thought it was. It is like he is trying to sabotage the team he spent half of his life despising.

 

[Nordekes]

Well, at least we didn't have to wait until Friday afternoon to be let down like this

 

[SomeDude]

Hold your horses! This may not actually be the deal

-pac CD from Hextall’s 1994 Ford Tempo.

 

[turd]

I mean, I don’t know too much about him, but he has 36 points in 58 games this year. We wanted the bottom six to retool and we got trimmed the fat and brought in someone that can put up points. Not gonna jump off the bridge five seconds after the move is made.

 

[66-30-33]

50% retention I am guessing, no way straight up for a 2nd.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

Wow, Jeff Carter 2.0. /yuck

Granlund is a better and younger 3C than Carter. Scored 64 points last year. Value is okay...but this can't be the big move, can it?

He can't play 3C here. He needs to be heavily sheltered, he's terrible at faceoffs, and I don't think he really PK's. I guess they have to play him as a top 6 winger? Can you pay someone 5m to set up Jeff Carter on L3?

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

50% retention I am guessing, no way straight up for a 2nd.

It was already announced on Twitter it's straight up, no retention.

 

[SomeDude]

At least he goes to the front of the net alot.

Sully will break that out of him.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

f***in why? Where exactly do they plan on using him?

Soft, small player who gets caved in at ES and is used to huge OZ starts.

If there isn't some bigger plan here, this is pathetic.

 

[wej20]

Is he here to play top 6 with Malkin and Zucker? 3rd line centre?

Absolute trash move given his contract.

 

[spcastlemagic]

This is horrific.

 

[SomeDude]

Told ya we should hope for standing pat or selling. Waste of a pick and cap space. This does nothing to change the fortune of the team.

 

[Pancakes]

I hope I'm hilariously wrong on this one but I hate this deal with a passion. Absolutely loathe it.
