Love it lol. He'll be playing with a chip on his shoulder for real.
Guaranteed goal against Pittsburgh!

Anyone can play his role. I cannot believe we are all so attached to Sceviour, he was good but completely replaceable. He’s the last guy I thought we’d all be upset over losing.
Anyone can be a good PKer, and for cheaper than 1.2 mil. It’s not a difficult role to fill.
Maybe go out and get Matt Martin or someone similar, done.
I may be in the minority here but this is like crying over spilled milk.
Craig Adams had #27 in 2014-15 when Hornqvist joined the Penguins, and no one wore it after that season before Bjugstad. Hornqvist probably just never bothered to change it, or it could be a Pens team culture thing that you pick one number and stick with it.
It's announced that it is permanent...we have another overpaid 72 hereThankfully he didn't request to change it after his first season in Pittsburgh, because once you win a Cup in a number I'd have to imagine it becomes a lot harder to want to change it. That's why Jake Guentzel still wears his training camp number despite his "normal" number being vacated for a couple years by the time he debuted (well that and young players having to "earn" the right to choose their number
Number changes aren't a super weird thing for Penguins either (Dominik Simon seemingly has worn as many numbers as he's scored goals), so I can only assume Hörny didn't see the point to changing it a year into wearing 72.
Noticed the Panthers site has him in 70...not sure if that's temporary or not. The Pens were almost obnoxiously fast at assigning Matheson & Sceviour new numbers considering how long the trade took to finalize (Matheson 5 & Sceviour 7). Apropos of nothing, as a Penguins fan who adores Hörny and weird high numbers, this trade never stops hurting. Matheson & Sceviour adding up to being 60 below Hörnqvist makes all the sense in the world. Sigh.
Its funny that the excuse for Math was the Pettersen incident.
What happened to the games before that?
He was only good here in 2015-16 during the games right before the playoffs and during the playoffs.
He was garbo after that with spurts of decency

People actually upset over the Sceviour loss?
Just call up one our high draft picks the last decade and Sceviour is replaced.
OverratedCan we talk about how awesome it is that his nickname is horny?
I too live life in 3 hour windows. Although little one is 16 months now and sleeping through the night. #2 on the way in April god willing.Overrated

Im not upset or people not upset, only giving him a hard Way out. Since he was the better player of the 2 for 1 Trade, we send back.
And i think the Plan is clear, since Zito mention it from Day 1. He want to close the Spots with Player we drafted, what allows us to handle the Cap Situation better then yet. That you are commited with Contracts like Matheson was and Yandle is or even Stralman. All those spots should be filled with own talents as far it is possible and succesful.
The succes will give him right or teach us wrong.
Need a new guy for the pk? Come back home, Frolik I actually wanted to dump sceviour and use his money on him instead. Cheap 2yr deal or something
Around 2per is what I had in mind. I agree, I wouldn’t commit to anything over 3yrs and It’d have to be at a low cap hit.If it's under 2 million, sure. Useful player still. But I'd rather stay away from these bottom six guys who are UFAs, the deals generally tend to backfire.
So NYR paid 2nd to get rid of Staal. Stepan should be had for a 4th or so.

It's a bit odd that he found the Acciari-Haula pairing to be such great penalty killers, but Sceviour did not look great on Pulock's PP goal in game 2. He did force a penalty on the Islanders when he took off on a PK breakaway though. You won't see just anybody doing that, and it's a nice momentum shifter. I don't think anyone is actually arguing that Sceviour was a key part of the team, just that he was more than a throwaway that can be replaced by a rando off the streets and that it would be wise for management to not treat the fourth line as such.and Sceviour was scratched in the playoffs a place like a player like him should excel. He was in Q dog house
I dont get the Stepan idea. We need a #2 center. He is not one.
