Confirmed with Link: Penguins acquire defenseman Blake Siebenaler for a conditional 7th round pick

[Jacob]

From the Pens point of view, sure, why not? He at least sounds like the type of D-men they should be targeting. He's still young enough to put it together and it's not like WBS is busting at the seems with quality defensemen prospects.

Don't understand how it benefits CBJ at all unless a roster spot is needed.

Because they don’t like or want him.

They dislike him so much they don't even want him on their roster 2/3rds of the way into the season? Why not just finish the season out and then let him walk this offseason? Even if the chances he figures it out are remote, why just give him to your rival? It doesn't make any sense to me unless like I said they need a roster spot for something else.

It has to be for flexibility. I think CBJ was at 48 contracts, leaving only 2 slots left. That's a little tight if they want to make any moves at the deadline. Could be rentals, or it could be deals involving Panarin or Bob that might bring back multiple players.

I imagine they were considering not qualifying him this Summer anyway.

Money for free is nice, even if its a dime.

This is more like finding free pocket lint.

The CBJ do it because the trade gives them flexibility and a possible return for someone they were probably going to let go for nothing. Win/win for them. And the Pens get a dman for WBS they'll likely pay nothing for. Also a win.

Blake Siebenaler can join this law firm in Pittsburgh after he playing days are over.

Yeah, but maybe its magic pocket lint!

And Jack Johnson is like finding unwrapped chewing gum in your pocket.

Because they don’t like or want him.

When a rival team makes a trade with you for a conditional 7th round pick you know that's gotz to be a good player.

(But seriously, Columbus' view of him must be sub-dirt as even an AHL player.)

Jack Johnson is like picking up a magnum bar and biting into it to discover that the ice cream inside has melted and is slightly rancid.

They look trustworthy.

They look trustworthy.

2 Gils and 1 Lionel Hutz.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Pens are 1-0 with Siebenaler in the fold.

 

[Nakawick]

Put him with Letang

 

[Honour Over Glory]

That's the only upside I see.

We hope for it.


Hope...

 

[HuskerTornado]

I think he was ahead of JJ on CBus' depth chart last year.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Sounds like a random EA name generated player.

Johnson is more of the ilk of finding cancer on your prostate.

Is this picture what they mean by "he can scoot"?

I'm more envious of how flexy sticks are these days. Damn kids have it easy. A nice Sherwood 5030 would barely flex that much with all your weight on it.

 

[The Old Master]

I would be racking my brain to figure a way to give jj to any of my competitor's

there's a lot to be said for a good stiff stick...….. wish I had one.
