The more I think about this the more annoyed I am.

Chychrun was the get and they could have easily paid that and had the capspace.



Ya Sweeney and Montegomery are doing an amazing job. I hate it. Sullivan and Hextall both need to be gone.

I would have tossed out 1st,2nd, Pickering which was a better offer...

Nothing like haalf the board acting like a 13 year old girl who lost her 1st Boyfriend to her BFF. Guess what Bobby Orr 2.0 Jacob Chychrun or anyone else wasn't moving the needle. This Dynasty is OVER

Tragic. How does Mario sit idle and let this happen?

I love Mario but he's the one who signed Sleepy.

It seems like the Pens management got tired of trading away all of our futures for crap and that is understandable but they just totally misread things with that move. It wasn't the trading of picks that was the problem. It was the trading of picks for crap.

Hextall is the flipside of the JR coin. He's still making as bad moves as JR was, he's just using less assets to do it.

The thing is that Zucker is UFA so we do have a top 6 hole to fill longer term. Of course Granlund basically prevents us from re-signing Zucker. Maybe Zucker's camp just flat-out said he doesn't want to return here.

Wouldnt say that. I think Zucker signs here cheaper than his last deal. Cheaper Zucker and no Kap balances out what Granlund makes.

I don't think you've caught the jist from the majority here. All of us are extremely aware of the circumstances. Its the fact we are tip toeing around making moves that make little sense.

If we're gonna pack it in and close the door then do it. But we signed our core and clearly have goals to "compete". If that's the case then build a roster to compete.

What's so difficult to understand here about why people are disturbed?

Burke, Hextall, and Sully wouldn't deserve the ring if Sid/Geno dragged this bag of ass to a championship.

I hope one of these 'reporters' gets a f'n temperature check and asks them some hard questions or puts some shit out there. What a farce.

Yohe is doing the exact same thing in The Athletic

Reminder that Hextall played hardball with and nearly lost Evgeni Malkin in the off season all so that he could eventually bring in a player who has played as bad or worse than Jeff Carter this year at the trade deadline. Said player is also not even a rental. Granlund makes almost as much as Geno lmfao

That's our GM folks. That's the guy.

If this roster takes down Boston. Sid and Geno deserve their faces to be carved into the mountain side overlooking the city

Because there is ABSOLUTELY nothing your whining does . I was for Blowing it the f*** up, But I get why FSG just coming in didn't want to blow it up

No He didn't

I mean. Yes they would.

JR made a bunch of these types of moves.

It's been said many times...but what irks me the most is that I have no idea what Hextall's long term goals for the franchise are. Clearly they're not trying to do a rebuild or sell anyone...but they're also not trying to go all-in to get the best players available...but they're also clearly not a good enough team to win the cup...so is the goal to build a team that will squeak into the playoffs and instantly get bounced for the remainder of Crosby's career? It makes so little sense to me.

Or the moves that were made on the D were made for playoff success and it worked.

It's such a tragedy looking at the Bruins compared to us.

And even with all their good trades, the single smartest thing they did was to replace their coach before the season. He wasn't a bad coach, but his time had come and gone.

I wish the Penguins could be half as smart as the Bruins.
