So Mackey (I think Mackey) said Management is watching the next two games closely to see what they do as far as trades. If fail, hopefully any trades they make is to stockpile picks. The draft is the answer to fix this mess within the coming years.
The Pens have played 58gms so far and tonight will be Greiss' 13th start of the season. Saying Pitt has been riding MAF is a bit of a stretch.This is fine. It isn't fair to ride Fleury like a packmule all season. Especially when the team is collectively laying an egg in front of him, despite his efforts.
I would make a comment about it being a good way to further guarantee they lose this game and thus help necessitate change. But I don't take JR and the team's comments from yesterday at all seriously. If they are actually going to do something, it's probably already decided. Putting an arbitrary time limit on it makes no good sense.
So then again... maybe it is true. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that this team does things the dumb/hard way.
What if they play these two games decently and still lose? What if they play bad and win? What if they play well tonight and lose because Greiss sucks?
Point is, not sure what they're looking at in these 2 games that they haven't seen in the last 2 months
I want Crosby to struggle so some one will eventually call him out & he'll have to change his game.
Doesn't even really matter how the pens play. If St. Louis comes to play the pens are going to get crushed. This team can't handle big teams. A nice losing streak leading up to the deadline is going to be good for this team's future. Housecleaning please.
Agree. What made the teams from 07-09 so good and exciting was guys with something to prove. TK breaking into the league, Roberts for his last shot at a cup, Ruuttu and Cooke being general badasses, Talbot willing to do anything to win.This team needs to be retooled. There are simply too many passion-less, uninterested players that we need to get rid of. Adams, Scuderi, Kunitz, and Sutter bring nothing and I would trade them for nothing. Martin is still a useful player but hes very soft and plays without a semblance of passion.

I don't know man. Pens typically win a game like this. It's strange.
There is no way the big boys allow that to happen. Doubt Lemieux let's it happen.
Also it might be a great solution long term for the franchise, if they do allow it to happen I hope they get help for JR to get him better scouts. I would loveto see them make a move and get Trevor Timmins out of Montreal. Make him assistant GM with eventually JR leaving. Great track record as a head scout
I want to see Crosby have a good game and rebound but at the same time I want to see this team shaken up and changed. I'm torn.
They should be sellers at the Deadline, Martin , Ehrhoff , for 1st rd picks
Same here, but with Sid and Geno here I don't see it happening
Would be nice to get assets back and move guys like Kunitz, Martin, Ehrhoff, Scuderi....

Ehrhoff has a no movement clause as a reward for taking a cheap one year deal.
Is there anyone on this team without movement clauses in their contract, I wonder?
