the next time this guy is right about a Panthers rumor will be the first time.

 

[MintyFresh88]

No thanks on Kovalchuk, but I'll trust Q if it's someone he wants and thinks he can get the best out of him.

Just seems like he's nothing more than a PP type guy now, though...we have enough of those.

 

[FrolikFan67]

I still want kovalchuk. At a cheap 1yr contract, that is. But he was always one of my favorite players from another team. Big reason why I chose 17 in college.

 

[Android 16]

Kovalchuk is done. He's far from an effective nhl player at this point. Kings actively removed him from the team so their young players wouldn't be able to observe or develop his habits. Stay the hell away

..... Just call up tippett

 

[GermanPanther]

I´m on the Train to pass along Hoffmann and Matheson, single wise or in a Package. The Question is what would we get in return that really help us. Special in our own Zone.

 

[RealHumanBean]

Did anyone else read that Eklund rumor on the trade boards? Supposedly chicago would trade toews and keith to LA for doughty and an "A prospect". But wait there's more! LA would then potentially trade keith to florida for strålman.

Don't want.

Ya Matheson ain’t going nowhere.

Hello there. Pens fan here. What's going on with Pysyk?

Elite bottom 6 winger

Elite bottom 6 winger

Speaking of Pisser, if we seriously have to play a third pairing D as a bottom six forward we need to upgrade that position at the deadline. There's no way he can be the best option at that spot.

On the other hand, if this team is heading into the playoffs Dale will be trying to acquire cheapo guys like Pisser at the deadline just to get some potential injury replacements that can play at the NHL level. The Cats really can't rely on Springfield's rookies and career AHLers during that time.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Does Pysyk still have "puck moving" ability? This includes skating the puck out of the D-zone. I don't think there's room for him on the Pens this season but I have some interest in him come the off-season.

Also, the Pens could probably provide the Cats some forward depth this season. I'm mostly thinking Dominik Simon, but Crosby seems fond of him.

Not reputable

Just take him. Send us a thank you card. We’ll send you a gift card to Barnes and Noble self improvement section.

Yup. He is a decent puck mover....as a winger.

Thanks all.

Do we want Burns? SJ is a dumpster fire.

That contract is ugly though, takes him to 40.

 

[iam76]

Lias Anderson. Watched him in Hartford a few weeks back and he potted a few. This guy was over drafted and value is at an all time low. Wonder what it would take to grab him. I know people may worry but I think he is a solid guy with goal scoring ability and young

There's no way SJS will trade Burns. Even if they could get rid off Jones' contract with the same swing of the front entrance door.
They only need to acquire another goat lender with Jones as the backup and fill the entire bottom6 with league minimum contracts.

He's been total bust so far in his North America adventure. Even Malgin is considerably better.
I could see him traded for some other player with attitude issues.

Are you saying they're not trading Burns because they're still in it? I don't know, looking pretty grim right now. Ten points out and I know they're capable of reversing it again but this team looks bad. EK is a tirefire and the old guys are older. Plus Pavelski is gone. It's not like it's the same old group trying to make a comeback.

At the end of last season, king posters were saying his defensive play was so bad the head coach would not play him late in games.

I am not sure if that was a decline in play or unwillingness to put the effort in. Either way, any team that picks him up should only do so if he signs a bonus based deal, for the rest of this season.
