Confirmed with Link: Pens bring back Nick Bonino for a 5th and a 7th round pick

[Night Shift]

But this trade is official or no?

Waiting for sleepy to wake up and announce it. Right now it is nap time.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

So the cumulative effect of all that cap space clearing and waiving of players is Granlund and Bonino? That's how we're keeping up with the Bostons and Carolinas and Rangers of the world? Good luck with that.

Where is phil?????

 

[StaalForOne]

Also 37, feel the same!

My lord, Hextall really was sent to destroy the Pens.

I'm about to be 36. Maybe this board is the one that needs some fresh legs

 

[Zbynek]

So is this trade actually happening or are we getting Johan Larsson instead?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Cap doesn't apply in the playoffs.

Our Miro Satan situation featuring weird usage.

Also 37, feel the same!

GM Mike Sullivan is here to win and Bones and his tuna pasta is what GMMS feels is the missing piece.

Just heard the Dad ‘s trip next year has been cancelled, not enough living dads to hold the trip. This team under Hextall just too ancient and younger guys mostly traded away.

Yup. This is what Hextall calls trying to compete.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Sully is the only father any of us need

'Glory Days'. What a sorry ass franchise.

What are they brokering and WHO'S 5th? Ours? Are they retaining or did SJS not want to talk to GMRH? So it's really Bones for a 7th but a penalty 5th too?

Just confused why a third team is needed for a pick-player deal

 

[Slaaapshuter]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Slaaapshuter]

To be fair this man is a legend.

It took this board at least 4 years to stop talking about him every summer after he was gone, you'd think he was Wayne Gretzky or something.

Other than that, I'm out. This is a f***ing joke lol

 

[Karl Prime]

Hey all. I think the 5th is SJ's for retaining.

Bonino has played his best at wing the last two seasons, but is a big part of why the penalty kill has been great this year. Won't move the needle much, and I'm guessing most of you want a bigger move to be made (understandable), but he's an effective 4th liner being played above his slot the last two years. Streaky when scoring goals.

Where is phil?????

I thought I was watching Phil play defense last night but it was just Granlund. He's basically Phil without the shot, so I guess that tracks. In all honesty, I'd rather have Phil, especially when you look at the contracts and consider we could use a righty on the PP half wall.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

With Kasperi Kapanen, one of this team's problems was that they weren't fast enough.

So this is nice.

What a take.

 

[dogthateats]

The worst part of this trade by far is having to listen to Mears etc. reminisce about that goal call

[Dennis Reynolds]

Boy, thank God for that.

 

[Gurglesons]

Boy, thank God for that.

Take Bones over Caggiula every day of the week.
