Confirmed with Link: PIT (Sheary & Rodrigues) | BUF (Kahun)

[cvrle1]

Zucker-Sid-Simon
Sheary-Geno-Rust
Marleau-McCann-Horny
Tanev-Blueger-Rodrigues

As soon as Sullivan's loverboy comes off IR (ZAR) he will bump one of these guys to press box.

Sabres fan. Can Kahun play center? Thanks

No, he is a winger. But he is by far and away the best player in this deal.

 

[JTG]

The one positive is that we didn't part with Poulin or Legare. Legare I believe just had B2B hat tricks in the ''Q''.

And this is kind of a big deal. With the years they have had, their value goes up. I still think with Poulin, there is an outside shot they give him all the opportunity to make the team next year. On one of the In The Room episodes, the scouting staff told JR, "He's not far away to be a contributor," despite what TSN guys said at the draft.

I don't know...I've been upset over deals like this before, and they turn out to be a big nothing burger a few years from now looking back.

 

[JTG]

I know absolutely nothing about Rodrigues, so I could use filled in on him.

 

[K Fleur]

Bjugs has to be like our 15th forward now if we ever get healthy(lol)

 

[exHornet]

The best thing about Sheary is that he'll be elsewhere next year. He can fall down somewhere else.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

The moral of this trade IMO is that you should never get attached to depth players, because there are only about 4 players on the Penguins who are absolutely safe from being traded and you shouldn't be getting super mad that they traded a 2nd/3rd line tweener for 2 3rd liners.

Rodrigues is a 3rd liner? Guy has 3 more points than Ruhwedel.

At least nothing OVERLY stupid happend I was legit petrified there was Gudbranson level of absurdity a foot.

I'm very high on both of these guys.

My issue with trading Kahun is the value or lack thereof we got back. It just doesn't jive with I see as fair value. And not that it affected us cap wise due to Jake being out, but we took on an extra four million dollars.

Hey Gudbranson had an amazing 20 game sample here that was in no way the biggest outlier performance of his career.

Rodrigues is a 3rd liner? Guy has 3 more points than Ruhwedel.

From what I’ve read he’s been underused and requested a trade. Plus this is a down year for him.

I think it needs to be a “wait and see” when it comes to discussing him, because most of us haven’t paid any attention to him to have these hot takes.

 

[domaug]

bad trade but not a devastating one. oh well.

 

[Doogle]

The Pens traded for two under the radar analytics darlings who have produced.

Worst deal ever.

But trading for the lottery ticket that never has done anything despite being given numerous chances who has now failed with two organizations?

Why weren't we in on some of that????

People here play too much Chel.

 

[vodeni]

I have a good feeling about ERod....based on literally nothing, noticed him twice during the game...if he really is as fast as they say, his SH% is around 7ish maybe he improves that

 

[TKalltheTime]

Righting a wrong that never should have happened. You make this trade 11 out of 10.

Kahun probably had no value considering he was moved for Olli Maatta and now this.

 

[NMK11]

Rodrigues is a 3rd liner? Guy has 3 more points than Ruhwedel.

He's put up 25 and 29 points the past two years on a bad sabres team. This year he hasn't played as much and scoring is down. I could see it either way, he comes here and on a better team fits in and looks like a third liner, or doesn't beat out his competition so plays less minutes than he did in buffalo so puts up fewer points.

Either way, his underlying stats are decent, so if he's got some wheels like people says he does at worst he's a faster ZAR.

Exactly.

Should've traded Rust to Buffalo instead.

 

[LOGiK]

TSN loves this trade. Said Kahun the best player out of the group, but penguins got familiarity with Sheary and depth matchups that will be very difficult to matchup against for opposing teams.

TSN really liked the 3rd line as Marleau - McCann - Tanev

 

[domaug]

seeing Evan Rodrigues react excitedly to the trade is nice

 

[KIRK]

Kahun probably had no value considering he was moved for Olli Maatta and now this.

Still would've rather moved him back to Chicago for Gust and then a 4th to Buffalo for Sheary and Rodrigues, but it's pretty clear JR is all in with this defense (and Pets and Jack Johnson)

Can't see that being the 3rd line. Sully is too in love with BART.

He asked for a trade and didn't end up in some hockey hell. Of course he's going to be excited . . .

I think we need to start having a legitimate conversation about who the actual 3rd line center is. Because I think Blueger has basically stole the position.

 

[Icarium]

Of all the dumb hot takes I've seen, this one may take the cake. Sure, they'll be fired because they added depth at forward for a 1st, 3rd, Kahun, and Addison.

Nah, they will be fired because they didn't do exactly what random internet "experts" wanted them to do. /s
