TK is Gonnedy.

...Gonnedy.

2nd Rd. Pick?

That'll do, pig.

Nice avatar, furry.

I thought this was a good move by Shero, no complaints.

Pull up a picture of Shero's face and look at it. How can you say no to him?

Someone needs to photoshop Shero in there.

Kennedy is a good player, and I'm going to miss him. I don't understand the hate he gets on here. He's not going to score a lot of goals but he doesn't have to because he brings other things to the table. I get that we had to make room for Letang though, so I have no problem with the trade itself. It's also nice to have our second back considering this is a deep draft. Still, I'll always appreciate what TK brought to the team. Farewell Paperboy. Farewell.

I agree. It is just the fashionable opinion to have to show that you are an educated Pens fan. I think TK will be missed. Lets add more ice time for Adams!!

I wonder if Shero did this trade from the toilet? 2 GM's side by side on the toilet talking.

Really??? Shero has been that great huh?? How did that Morrow trade work out?? By the way, the worst part of that trade is yet to come.

Unfortunately for Kennedy it's going to be a lot harder to find a girl willing to come to his level in Cali than Pittsburgh.

No it wont.

If you keep screwing other teams over in trades, they're going to strop trading with you. Sometimes, you need to pay over the odds. It's not like the Pens don't have a system stocked with talented D-men.

Also, just because people disagree with you over your valuation of TK does not mean they're faking their opinion to seem educated. Adams is not going to replace TK.

WOW. My buddy told me at work that this trade went down...but I thought he was just messing with me.

 

[Shockmaster]

So how long will the Bylsma suicide watch last?

Why?

IIRC we got a pick back in that trade.

 

[madinsomniac]

Proof yet again that draft picks are valued more by NHL fans than NHL execs...

That wont start unless we don't sign Adams and trade Glass....

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Oh god, forgot about Adams. Please someone else take him.

 

[Stecz]

He's a decent PKer, leader in the room, never playing above the 4th line. Not ideal, but not the end of the world. He's infinitely more useful than Glass.

Yeah. Hits a ton too. Probably one of the top hitters in the game in terms of hits-per-minutes-played. His hits tend to have a little more impact/oomph than Glass's too.

Terrible with the puck though and he's really starting to slow down skating-wise. He's an ideal 13th forward at this stage in his career.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

So is this the big shake-up the club needed because of the implosion versus the Bruins?

 

[Stecz]

Ideally a 13th, but if he's playing as a 12th a lot, I'm not going to scream the house down. Would prefer him in the press box more often than not, but if he's keeping Glass there instead, I'm not too bothered.

Pick traded and pick made. Closing. Use draft thread for discussion of the next Jimmy Howard (according to TSN).
