[RoyIsALegend]

Cap Elements is a bust, poor skating.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Oh f*** off, Pittsburgh. You don't need him.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Wanted to keep Gustavsson but gotta give to get I guess.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

1st and Gus is less than i expected. Hopefully the cap related element is a hunwick dump.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Pens are probably gonna win the cup again.

 

[OVO16]

Just hand the Pens the cup again

 

[Team Cozens]

Don't see how the Pens could be stopped again tbh if they added Brassard.

Do the Leafs become sellers now with the Matthews injury and Pittsburgh trade? I mainly mean the likes of JVR, Bozak and Leo.

 

[Holocene]

lol I hate Ottawa so much.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

OMG DID YOU HAVE TO OTTAWA?
They will actually threepeat

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

20 games ago Pittsburgh fans were convinced their season was over...

(Though reading the PGT after any given regular season loss gives a similar impression regardless of actual standing)

Good pickup for them, going for the three peat. Nice feather in Crosby's cap if he can pull off what Lemieux couldn't.

 

[TML1967]

Brassard would give the pens the best center depth theyve ever had, and that's saying a lot. This would propel Pittsburgh back into the favorite position imo.

Nope.
Crosby Malkin Staal was better.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Nice for Pens

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Karlsson look in, live.

 

[le_sean]

So the 31st pick and a goalie. Seems weak for Ottawa.

 

[AngelDuck]

Pittsburgh sees Crosby, Malkin, Kessel all past 30 now. They have a clear window to win the next 3 years and then are going to fall off after that likely. They don't care about draft picks. They're trying to win as many cups in a row as possible now

 

[Boud]

Not a bad deal with Cole added

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Wanted to keep Gustavsson but gotta give to get I guess.

Ya you guys are set with Jarry waiting in the wings anyways... IMO its perfect being able to utilize Gustavsson in a deal. Pens got a whole lot stronger

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Sprong not involved = me very, very happy

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Don't see how the Pens could be stopped again tbh if they added Brassard.

Isn't that what people said about Washington last season when they got Shattenkirk?

And Tampa Bay is still there closing in on Karlsson. Nashville maybe with Nash.

 

[Maukkis]

Ian Cole going to Ottawa too.

 

[haveandare]

Good for the Pens, really good for Brass, pretty bad for Ottawa not shockingly

 

[CupofOil]

Pittsburgh can afford Brassard's contract?

 

[PensandCaps]

Man. A better Bonino....this team is stacked.

 

[Avs44]

If there's no other high end piece going the Sens' way then Rutherford...man. Gustavsson could be good, but he still keeps Jarry. The Pens can just role out two top 1st lines and one quality second line.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

So the 31st pick and a goalie. Seems weak for Ottawa.

Really weak. They're just giving him away.
