Sorry pens fans

 

[Mike Jones]

That's one way to rebuild on the fly.

Maybe not the right way but it's a way.

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

Guentzel out so adding a free guy to fill the roster spot.

 

[JKG33]

Another small, skilled, NHL/AHL tweener is available? Dubas got his guy

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Cant be any worse then Jansen Harkins, Nylander, Zohorna, Nieto, Koppanen, White or Carter have been on the 4th line, so at least there's that.

 

[uncleben]

For those interested, this cost Pittsburgh $26,250, paid to Washington and not counted against the cap.



Season total: $885,000
24 claims

 

[SEALBound]

At least he's scored a goal this year. That already puts him ahead of Dubas's other waivers claim.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

That will do it. Run prolonged.

 

[Turin]

Guarantee this lil bro is better than Harkins. So I'll take it.

 

[Pens x]

Evgeni Malkin, meet your newest garbage line mate.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Good luck Matty, still rooting for ya.

No one beats @MMC he lets you win every once in awhile

Well I retract my previous comments in the other Phillips thread. He will now score 200 pts playing with Crosby because he’s going from was to pitt

i think dubas might be the worst GM in NHL history and he is completely unable to learn & adapt. it is shocking. claiming this guy is not gonna do anything it just represents a total lack of awareness of how badly his strategy of 18 attackers failed in toronto. my guess is he blames all of his failures on his poor goalies.

Classic Dubas.

This guys analytics are worth a claim!

It allows Dubas to send a guy down to WBS because they have injuries. Calm your tits.

It's depth.

There's such a strange obsession with Dubas on this site.
It's funny, because, yes he clearly likes skill players, but people paint him to be this single-minded narcissist who refuses to do anything different.
I'd say the opposite, he was pretty much always tinkering, and at times knee-jerk. Each season there was a new focus

Criticized for being too young and inexperienced? Brought in vets and ex-captains.
D too weak? He made several additions to the blueline to shore it up.
Too soft? Face-punchers, checkers, and bench plugs.
Too focused on analytics? Bring in players known for intangibles and eye-tests.
Goalies? Throw them all out and try again.


Obviously it never all came together and there were many swings and misses - criticize him for that - but the "Dubas only likes small analytics players" train is about the lowest fruit you can get. Especially when it's a depth waiver claim

Did Kyle kick everyone's dog or something?

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

We're so old he's essentially a prospect to this team

 

[Nakawick]

Maybe he’ll be another Sheary.

 

[Pebble live]

A Dubas special for sure

Dubas has his Money Ball book as his bible and the movie on his phone if he miss places the book

Which is a weird signing because that's the exact opposite of what Sullivan likes.
