Confirmed Trade: [PIT/MTL] Riley Barber and Phil Varone for Joseph Blandisi and Jake Lucchini (AHL Trade)

I have a feeling it may be Nate Thompson to the Penguins. All of their centers outside of Crosby kinda suck on faceoffs and Thompson is really good on draws.

"@TaylorHaasePGH
Hearing that the Penguins have made a trade with Montreal, and that Joseph Blandisi and Jake Lucchini are two of the pieces heading to Montreal. #Pens #DKPS"

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Montreal stocking up on guys that sound like mafia henchman.

 

[Riptide]

Looking at Montreals roster if that's true, has to be for a depth guy. Maybe Folin, Thompson or Weise?

Taylor works for DK sports who's a sports news group out of Pit. Not sure how 'in the know' she'd be, but it's possible that she might have heard something.

You guys gonna like that one

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Neither player is worth anything so it must be for Thompson or Weise or someone

 

[CupInSIX]

Habs finally get Luuch

 

[Big Empty]

Even Thompson for those two is a bad trade

Nothing really worth getting excited over but Blandisi had some decent stretches when called up this season.

LMAO MARC BERGEVIN THE FLEECER, all joke aside, that's an AHL trade

Exciting. Not.

Guys wanted out. Bouchard benched them. Big loss on the talent side fir Laval for sure. AHL deal.

 

[Rich Nixon]

This is the most Italian trade in NHL history.

 

[Jee]

Thrilling.

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

Good, get rid of the sulkers.

 

[Puckclektr]

This trade sucks. Would’ve been more exciting if someone signed Pavel Barber.

Bergevin made the Pens an offer they couldn't refuse.

 

[HockeyAddict]

Seems like a pointless trade...

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Blandisi looked half decent in his call-ups to the Pens. Out of the "AHL call-ups" I thought he looked the second best after Lafferty.

 

[T1K]

The hometown kid (Barber)!

WEW save some excitement for Monday, fellas!
