Confirmed Trade: [PIT/FLA] Jean-Sebastian Dea for Chris Wideman

[66-30-33]

No playoffs for us. Next season our D is this...

Dumo-Letang
JJ-Schultz
Maatta-Gudbranson

That's not only the most expensive D but also the worst D in the league. At least we got 2 cups.

 

[uncleben]

I know dumo got injured, what happened to Letang? You don't have any somewhat competent D in the A to pull up? This is hard for me to even comprehend.

lol D in the A

Got injured in the scrum after the Dumo hit!

 

[Shagged Yer Nan]

Got injured in the scrum after the Dumo hit!

JESUS... That outdoor game really screwed the pens. I assume Dumo and Letang are long term.

 

[Kranix]

Hahaha Dea moved again!!!

 

[MMC]

Done

 

[fragmag]

So, he played 1 game for the Panthers and was immediately placed on waivers, gross

 

[Hockeyholic]

My god that Penguins D is horrific. UGLY...

"All of your bad defenseman belong to us"

They belong to Edmonton... we might let a couple go to you.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Winning the cup got boring. Pittsburgh is after the real prize. The Edmonton Oiler cup! (It comes on a gold card)

Ha nice try the oilers are still in contention for that gold card and look to be for a while yet

 

[Shrimper]

Minor league trade, nothing to worry about

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

What can FLA fans/management expect from Dea?

 

[orby]

What can FLA fans/management expect from Dea?

A replacement-level fourth line center at best. Decent AHLer.

 

[Riptide]

Has Rutherford lost it?

This is a much better move then the Gudbranson deal.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

A replacement-level fourth line center at best. Decent AHLer.

Cool, our AHL team needs more depth since Borgstrom and Hawryluk were promoted.
Wideman has been decent down in the AHL, probably a 7th guy for you while you get healthy.

The Pittsburgh Panthers

How many good d were available today? Could the pens afford to overspend?

I think he did the best he could with what’s out there. He had to pick up cheap help, and he did. Over his career he’s looked brilliant picking up reclamation projestcs other scoffed at and turned them back into solid players.

 

[Stickpucker]

JR was never good at building a defense.

Lets hope the Pens spend the rest of their season hemmed in their own zone while Murray gets LIT UP!!

Maybe that's JR's idea, tank Murray's value so he can be more easily re-signed.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

So apparently the plan is for the pens to need to score 13 goals a game. Cause they are gonna give up 10

Quite frankly I'd like the Pens to never play outside again.

 

[IBleedOil247]

4 NHL teams in 1 Season - What a time to be alive

 

[McDrailers]

Ha nice try the oilers are still in contention for that gold card and look to be for a while yet

Like I said. Winning the cup is boring! Drafting first overall and blowing the pick to the wind? That’s the real set up

Dumo-Letang

Where is Petterson and Rikola?

Dumo-Letang
Maatta-Schultz
Petterson-Rikola/Gud/Ruhwedel/JJ

??

THE thing is we have much better help sitting in the press box in Riikola.

Who for some reason is sitting despite being better than 5 of the 6 starting Dmen.

Odd... they gave up 4 and that was with Johnson playing 31 minutes on Saturday and with us missing our top pairing for 45 or so minutes. But somehow they'll give up 10 from now on?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Pure depth move, nothing more. No issue with this as a Pens fan.
