Then you highly over-rate Balej.

Prucha73 said:Have you seen Ortmeyer play? Tyutin and whoever you take at #24 is Quality as well. As far as I can see your AHl team is almost the same as our AHL team and most of those players are not really good enough for NHL.
Pens4ever said:Yes I've seen Ortmeyer play...
He's no better than alot of prospects the Pens have already.
Sure, Tyutin would be one of our top 2 defense prospects. I'd love to have him. But not at the cost of Malkin.
Malkin is really what the Pens need. Aside form Ovechkin, I wouldn't want anyone else unless the package is just breathtaking. As in, If you want the #2, you're probably going to have to give up Balej and Tyutin, plus your first. Yeah, its overpaying. But its what you'll have to do. It is in the best interest of the Pens organization to keep the #2 overall.

craig1 said:The difference is that the Pens prospects are NHL ready. The Pens decided to hold them in the AHL and let them develop longer, while using stop-gap fill-ins at the NHL level, a la Eastwood, Pushor, etc. The Pens actually have too many prospects and face a situation where they may have to trade some in a package, or risk losing them for nothing. They do not need more. They are forced to put AHL caliber prosects (Fata and Roleau) in the ECHL as it is.

Prucha73 said:how about this trade: Ortmeyer, Tyutin, Josh Green, #24th?, #49 to Penguins for #2, #31, 3rd rounder about #66
Alex Kovalev said:Balej, oh man thats funny. I said, if you want Malkin, your going to have to overpay for him.
Prucha73 said:Yes, Balej, he is kind of like Koltsov, but with skills and hockey sense
Pens4ever said:Then keep Balej, we'll keep Malkin.
Prucha73 said:I never even offered you Balej, and yes we are keeping him, thak you very much.
Pens4ever said:Wow...this thread is a mess.

BobMarleyNYR said:Wow... my ideas have been dismantled
Pens4ever said:I think they've moved on from that gateway drug onto much more powerful mind distorting drugs...or they're just Rag$ fans.
Prucha73 said:Not at all, I tremendously enjoyed all the bone crunching hits that the Wolfpack unleashed on the Penguins. And I am glad none of our guys were injured or had any broken fingers.
BobMarleyNYR said:If I might say one last thing... I think Koltsov is a long-term project, but not quite as fast as Balej... plus if the Pens got Balej, with all they'd have (including this year's 6th pick, and surely a top ten next season), they would be murderous in 5 years. Then again, they're going to be even worse (for NYR, and everyone else) if they get Malkin. Dammit! No one give them ANY money!
