A bad player for a bad player, meh.

 

[fragmag]

ughhh! At least he stood up to Wilson, so we got that going for us right? Right?

 

[Jacob]

Yikes.

Please get Guerin away from this team.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Fire Jim Rutherford.

Pearson isn't a bad player and Gudbranson is way worse than a bad player. This is horrendous for the Penguins. This is probably the worst deal a Penguins GM has made in the last 10 years.

No, a acceptable player if everything is in line for an even worse player.

 

[WickedWrister]

Why does everyone think Gudbranson is so bad?

 

[dustybreaks]

This is a horrible horrible trade.

 

[Pancakes]

Well atleast he knows he sucks...

I feel for him. It's easy to forget but these guys aren't just spreadsheets. They're people. They know what the analytics guys say about them.

I hope the guy can not be a disaster here. He almost certainly will be, but I hope he's not.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Its official... GMJR is a Skrull

 

[ncm7772]

This has been the most disheartening 3 days in Pens history that I can remember.

 

[Beau Knows]

My ****ing god. Yes, our issues this year can be boiled down to no one throwing a punch at Simmonds.

Follow JR out the door.

The fans who were losing their minds when the Flyers were mauling the Pens are gonna love watching this team, we're gonna be real tough and real bad. Wonderful.

 

[66-30-33]

I guess JR decided it's time to retool so he brought bad Dmen here for us to miss the playoffs for a few years.

 

[Malkinstheman]

This and JJ are the worst deals made in the Sid Era. Absolutely amazing.

 

[SUBdrewgANS]

They need to let the old dinosaur go. This is an absolute joke of a trade. We got worse because of it. GTFO of here JR.

Somewhere Matt Murray is balled up in the fetal position, in the corner of the room, rocking back and forth.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Why does everyone think Gudbranson is so bad?

Because he's downright horrendous? He's an enforcer who hits and can't move the puck.

 

[BetterCallSaul]

This deal kills me mostly because Gudbranson has a contract until 2021 with a cap hit of 4.0 - That's insane.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Duthie on TSN: That's it! It's 3pm, all done. Some calls pending but the deadline comes and goes!

3:30pm: Gudbranson to Pittsburgh!

 

[Malkinstheman]

Someone please tell me what happened to all the emphasis on advanced stats? Theyve completely given it up.

 

[ncm7772]

I literally can't find any good in this trade.
