Confirmed with Link: Penguins Protected List

We'll see what happens. I thought they'd announce trades when they took guys from each team, but I guess not.

 

[xlm34]

That is just a rumor from Dangle.

Oh shit the guy who screams about the Leafs is becoming an insider? This is what happens when Bobby Mac retires.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I mean you look at that roster do you want to sign there and be a perennial lottery team?

We won't know the roster by the end of today. Ask me in September.

But I could see them being a playoff team in that weak ass Pacific. You don't need star power if you have all 2nd/3rd liners and 6 middle pairing level D. Not to mention the plethora of quality goalies they could take.

 

[slowhands]

I like Chris Fowler but he cleary doesn't know anything about hockey.

I think this event had a lot of potential and ESPN and really NHL/Seattle dropped the ball. The leaks hurt a lot I'm sure ESPN didn't like that.

Then you have a lot of recognizable people announcing picks but didn't take the time to educate them on pronunciations.

They should have tried to get Patrick Sharp for this, I think he could have done a great job and is really personable

 

[Darren McCord]

Seattle is doing a garbage job, unless there are side trades. JVR or Voracek retained would have been hugely valuable around the league. Geekie is so dumb over Bean. They are making Vegas's draft look even better.

Also that Olesiak deal is hot garbage

Right. I forgot they're in the west. They might make the finals.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Fat ex athletes is the theme.


Edit: wait did Calle Jarnkrok show up on previous lists?


That's a decent pick right there. Ok this is interesting sort of now.

Really didn't expect to see Zucker in a Pens uni next season.

Hopefully we still won’t!

Should have had Levy.

I think way too much is made out of Tanev being "hard nosed" or "physical" or whatever. But he was willing. And a hell of a lot of fun to watch.

So that's something. I'll miss the guy. But also get it.

Tanev is fine as a "supplemental" physical player, such as he was with Winnipeg, where the actual big boys did the heavy work.

But if you're counting on Tanev to be the #1 (and only) physical presence on a team of punching bags, such as he was with the Penguins, that's way too much to ask of him even at his inflated salary.

Given his age, background and style of play -- traits which were identical to a player acquired in a significant trade several years earlier -- I still maintain that JR was thinking "ZOMG!!1! Chris Kunitz 2.0!!!!" when he signed Tanev to that deal.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Camera guy not know how zoom out works?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Jarnkrok, another 0.5 P/PG player the last 4 years who can defend. Solid. 2 million AAV

 

[Zirakzigil]

Did they talk about the Rangers deal? Not watching the stream.

Apparently the Rangers dealt Strome for Blackwell (coming back) and Giordano.

Gio has a NMC and would have to waive. No reports of that.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Appleton to me has that Karlsson vibe. That's about all I'll say about that.

 

[Gurglesons]

Appleton to me has that Karlsson vibe. That's about all I'll say about that.

Yeah he could be a solid player. If they get a 1C, Tanev - Gourde - Appleton would be a hell of a 3rd line.

Yeah I'd say that's a good assessment. Which is why I just can't be overly bugged he's in Seattle, now. I know this team is too soft but I promise for real... Tanev wasn't moving the needle hardly at all in that department. Disruptive? Sure. A PIA to play against? I'll buy it. Wearing the other team down? Nah.

And I could see that re: JR. If that's the case though his coach sure didn't help him out by stapling him to one line and never deviating from it.

The other thing with Tanev is that he raises the temperature of every game he plays in, and we don't have the identity for that to be a good thing for us. It just encourages our opponents to try and hurt our few good players.

 

[Darren McCord]

Man I kinda wanted to be a Seattle fan but ouch

 

[Honour Over Glory]

McCann-Appleton-Eberle possible top line.

 

[Jacob]

Didn’t he waive it already?

 

[eXile3]

If they really wanted to make this entertaining they would have Lynch announce all the picks.

 

[Rakell67]

I made a mock draft on Sunday around Noon and hit on 10 of the 30 picks.

 

[Darren McCord]

McCann-Appleton-Eberle possible top line.

I think they overpay for Danualt

 

[Honour Over Glory]

The kraken defense is intriguing. A lot of size and mix of puck movers and player smashers.
