Miscellaneous NHL Talk XXIV

[LegionOfDoom91]

Semin's likely going to get waived &/or traded soon. He's been healthy scratched a lot this year.

If his contract didn't suck so bad I would have taken a flyer.

 

[Jtown]

if i were the caps i would take a shot on him at 50 percent but that is it.

 

[King Forsberg]

Grossman and the CAV for a Semin.

They're doing fine without him. I don't see why a team in the playoff hunt would bring that type of risk in right now.

Their current GM was on staff when they let him go last time. I really can't see what would change his opinion on that now.

 

[Striiker]

 

[Tripod]

Pens adding more dirty players.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He's a saint now! I really don't get that one though.

 

[Jtown]

even more of a reason to hate them now.

downie and lapierre . imagine if they kept carcillo.

 

[orangecrush8]

I didn't know I could hate the Penguins more. Jesus.

 

[GKJ]

The Blues got the far better player, so there's that. Goc would be a dream if we could land him somehow this summer

 

[Tripod]

Someone suggested Richards for MacDonald.

Would you do it?

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Pens adding more dirty players.

Lol, they must have taken the last Pens v Flyers game to heart

 

[TheLegendkiller]

Lol, they must have taken the last Pens v Flyers game to heart

So they basically traded for another guy that talks **** and will most likely get beaten up by somebody on the flyers at some point.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

@BSH_THG_Charlie Flyers aren't winning anything this year. I'd love to think a relatively unimportant January game caused their rivals to make an awful deal.

Sure seems like the cause based on the timing.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Someone suggested Richards for MacDonald.

Would you do it?

Absolutely not. Richards contract is way worse especially with recapture penalties. We already have two slow forwards who are shell's of their formerselves on terrible contracts in Lecavalier & Umberger.

 

[Curufinwe]

Someone suggested Richards for MacDonald.

Would you do it?

Not unless LA retained salary and gave us a valuable draft pick.

MacDonald just had his best offensive game of the season.

 

[Garbage Goal]

His corsi relative is also really bad really consistantly. I don't even talk about advanced statistics much, but this move makes zero sense for Pittsburgh on any level.

Fans on their boards, some of them, actually like it though because he's "tough to play against". Guess Downie didn't cover enough crazy.

He is not tough to play against. Nobody is scared of lapierre. I remember him getting ***** slapped by powe back in the day.

He's just another fake tough guy they signed that will wilt when **** gets too real in games. They never get anybody really tough at all. Thorton, Neil, Clifford, Winnik, these are guys you go get for toughness that can play. Lapierre? Straight *****.

 

[Striiker]

Someone suggested Richards for MacDonald.

Would you do it?

I wouldn't.

Richard's contract is worse and he'd probably be less helpful to the team than MacDonald. I'd rather have a 5m 2nd pair defenseman than a 5.75m 4th line center when we already have a 4.5m 4th line winger...

if the kings keep 50 percent of the richards contract yeah id do it. If he is to ever have any sort of comeback its going to be in this city.

Heck, the Pens brought up their minor league goons for a game vs. the Flyers and they got their butts handed to them by our Euros in their first fights!!!! The Pens are going nowhere.

IF the Kings are prepared to do that, they could probably get something better than AMac, like a pack of gum or some practice pucks.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

under no circumstance should Richards be brought back here, not that it will happen anyway.

bad player on a bad contract that left on bad terms. only thing it would do is sell newspapers and collect web hits for our controversy driven beat writers.

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

So now it's up to either Streit or Straka to kick Lapierres butt the next time we play them.

 

[kudymen]

So their plan is to force Berube dress Rosehill/Rinaldo everytime we play against them? These are some tricky tactics they are playing there
