Confirmed with Link: Penguins acquire Ben Lovejoy from Anaheim for Simon Despres (Seriously)

[PGHSports]

Despres played way to physical for JR.

 

[Dacks]

There must have been some issues with Despres and the locker room. Or coaches in general. Or maybe management. Because I just can't understand this move from any other standpoint other than they wanted to get rid of him.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Despres for Lovejoy? Seriously?

Did the Islanders beat JR to the punch before he could pull off Bennett for Tyler Kennedy?

 

[cassius]

This is the HFBoards equivalent of shooting old yeller.

JR must be high

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I think i'm seriously done with this Pens era. See ya when we are back into the dark days.

 

[Whakahere]

what .... awful to bloody terrible.


who do we have that hits now?

 

[ImporterExporter]

Like i said 2 years ago....the Pirates will win a WS before this joke of a franchise ever wins a SC.

Jim Rutherford ladies and gents. God Bless America.

 

[Coastal Kev]

The biggest disaster of a deadline ever.


F OFF PENS. I am officially done. PUT ME IN THE HATER GROUP

 

[PensFanSince1989]

Nevermind, TSN just confirmed that it was Despres.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

This is Andrew Ladd for Tuomo Ruutu all over again. Jim Rutherford sucks big time. Time to go to the retirement home, bud.

 

[kodoshin]

Ok. I know Lovejoy supposedly improved by leaps and bounds while in Anaheim, but enough to justify this? Really? I feel like we just made a terrible mistake.

 

[ShatteredGlass]

Would only make sense if it was for Lovejoy++

GMJR...I have no words.

 

[Zero Pucks]

JR can ****ing go retire now.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I think it is time for the fire JR thread.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Will people stop saying we traded Simon Despres unless they have some confirmation of it?

So far, no one has said who the Penguins gave up and I very much doubt it was Despres.

RDS said it's Despres.

 

[Vegeta]

Lol for Despres. And people had the gall to criticize me for thinking JR is an idiot.

 

[gordie]

As much as consider Despres a "project". I would never have traded him for a useless "Bum" like Lovejoy. Rutherford should have stayed Retired!!!!!

 

[Gurglesons]

This is Andrew Ladd for Tuomo Ruutu all over again. Jim Rutherford sucks big time. Time to go to the retirement home, bud.

Maybe we get a 2nd or a 1st.

 

[McDrailers]

RDS said it's Despres.

The sportsnet pannel all were like, "Wait what?" Despres?"

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Despres for a guy we threw out a couple of years ago? I could accept it if it were for a LW for Geno, but for Ben ****ing Lovejoy? Go **** yourself JR...

 

[Til the End of Time]

jim rutherford is a terrible gm. it took awhile for him to find his groove here in pittsburgh, but he's rediscovered his touch for horrific gm'ing. this team is going nowhere but down with him at the helm.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

I'm sorry, but this is sooooooooooo bad.

 

[BobCole]

I HATE this trade, but it's not close to the worst trade in franchise history. God damn it I hate the hyperbole on HF.

 

[High Flying Birds]

Confirmed for Despres. This is awful. JR is an absolute idiot. What a steal for the Ducks. We got a lot softer on the blue-line.

 

[Ando]

We have a thread up over at Anaheim HF. If some of you guys can come over and chime in it would be great, a lot of us don't know much about Despres.
