The Penguins pass yet another small timeline and do the worst trade deadlines moves again... Does not make sense what this team is doing. Sorry fellas they have become a mess.
I'm tired of Hextall and would love a clean out of the FO/Coaching.The Penguins pass yet another small timeline and do the worst trade deadlines moves again... Does not make sense what this team is doing. Sorry fellas they have become a mess.
Isn't it most if not all of the Pens media, Burke, Mario, and FSG? With the alter of wankdom for Mike Sullivan?Rossi doesn’t think Kulikov is good enough for Sullys system
Starting to think there’s a shrine to Sully on his dresser and a dartboard with Hextalls face on it
I don't know if Yzerman even knows what he's doing in Detroit right now.Wonder if Stevie Y was gonna flip JVR to Pitt or something like that (I don’t see how)
Yes, I would be either 1) all over signing Meier if he Goes to market and/or 2) trading Jake this summer for an A prospect and top notch RFA/ELC player…that’s we need: young speedy legs in the lineup…nothing we can do about Rust at this point but I was not eager to sign him either last summer and wanted him to walk…I’d waive goodbye to Zucker regardless of contract demandsDepends what contract he will accept. If the cap hit fits our needs the next two seasons after this, do you think we are likely to get a better player in free agency?
The usual way to get a promising cost controlled younger forward (other than developing one) is to deal a better, older and more expensive one. Best shot at that is likely Guentzel, which will make good sense asset management wise.
Our version of the Eichel deal from Buffalo to Vegas. Love what Guentzel has been for us, but not giving him more… and not losing him for nothing.
Maybe Granlund shows enough we could offload him and backfill with Puus....gives us a boat load to spend elsewhere. That ain't happening though.Yes, I would be either 1) all over signing Meier if he Goes to market and/or 2) trading Jake this summer for an A prospect and top notch RFA/ELC player…that’s we need: young speedy legs in the lineup…nothing we can do about Rust at this point but I was not eager to sign him either last summer and wanted him to walk…
Yes, saw this…lolSo all of the media outlets have the Pens as the biggest losers of the deadline.

I think that writeup is a bit dramatic. And overly critical.Yes, saw this…lol

Loser: Pittsburgh Penguins
Ron Hextall certainly made moves at the trade deadline, but not the ones fans wanted him to make. At the deadline, the Penguins acquired Dmitry Kulikov, Nick Bonino, and Mikael Granlund, all fringe players over 30 who expect to bring very little to the table compared to what the team needs. Kulikov seems to be the only player with upside, helped by the fact that Pittsburgh also got out from under Brock McGinn’s bad contract with the deal.
The Penguins have been playing better as of late, but for awhile they were looking incredibly tragic. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are having absolutely stellar seasons and there are only so many years left of this Penguins core before they’re set to ride off into the sunset. Instead of swinging for the fences on a deal — the Penguins were in on J.T. Miller but talks cooled off — Hextall didn’t add much of value as his team sits in a precarious wild card spot.
If you’re a Penguins fan, it’s hard to be happy with what management cooked up at the deadline compared to the deals other teams made.
According to moneypuck pens have a 2.7 percent chance to win the cup while nyr has a 1.1 percent. Can someone make sense of this?

Kinda ridiculous to be the loser, maximizing the window is one thing when you've already won multiple times. Canes added a #5 defenseman when their prime window to win is right now.So all of the media outlets have the Pens as the biggest losers of the deadline.

He removed what he did and did it again.... Granlund should have had retained salary..I'm tired of Hextall and would love a clean out of the FO/Coaching.
BUT he did remove the rough contracts and made us have more cash for the offseason. Granlund is the only move this deadline that was a downer with price paid and no retention.
Bonino and Kulikov are just fine with me for this run...maybe Kulikov can sign cheap next year.
How so? They definitely have better forwards and goaltending, maybe even on DWe are a better team than NYR on paper.
Calling Granlund a "fringe" player is rather odd. I'm not a fan of the deal because of the contract, but he has 36 points in 59 games. That's a 50-point pace. He's a solid middle 6 winger.Yes, saw this…lol

We get to play them a bunch soon...so we shall see.Do they have better forwards?
They have better named forwards. But the impacts simply aren’t there.
Outside shot we could pass up Rangers in the standing. Very slim, but possible. Would have to win all 3 games vs. them. And our game in hand. I don't see it, but one can dream.We get to play them a bunch soon...so we shall see.
I can kinda get on board with you but Kane shreds the Pens.
Ya you want to try to retain his contract down by adding some other piece and then you get another piece in return.. like the same stuff all over again they did with McGinn.Calling Granlund a "fringe" player is rather odd. I'm not a fan of the deal because of the contract, but he has 36 points in 59 games. That's a 50-point pace. He's a solid middle 6 winger.
