Panic and trade everyone.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Let's trade all of our bad players for the other team's good players.

 

[molon labe]

Only ZAR and Jack Johnson are untouchable.

 

[Night Shift]

If only we kept Fleury

 

[HandshakeLine]

A+ thread title.

 

[ZeroPucksGiven]

From the previous thread:

I do miss Orange Julius and Hot Sam. Those were the places I'd hit before dumping an assload of quarters at the arcade.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

The thing that should not be is starting to make me miss Ian Moran.

 

[TimmyD]

Jake Sid Smith/Grandlund
Zucker Malkin Rust
Tanev McCann Hornqvist
Simon Bleuger Fast

Dumo Letang
Petterson Marino
Rikko Demelo

Jarry
DeSmith

Any chance we could make this lineup work with letting guys walk and trading Murray and Bjugstad?

Sounds like you've been hanging out on the toronto board too much!

This gonna be a real...reeaaaaal...interesting summer

This year ain't over. They have been the better team for the last 2 games. Big improvement over the last 10 where they got caved.

For me the real interest is the goalie situation over the summer. We keeping both/trading one/etc?
We'll qualify some guys and others will be walking...so business as usual there.

Schultz will be the only notable UFA

Stan, Guy.... Long time lurker, first time poster.

Nagging question --

With the 1-way contract additions at the deadline, what happens when the team gets healthy enough (I know, seems like a pipe-dream) such that there are too many players at the NHL level? Who is waiver exempt other than, I think, Marino?

Is this even an issue?

 

[HandshakeLine]

What happens is they make the returning players battle it out in a booby-trapped rink until only one remains.

Ah, I see my first "ignore" candidate has surfaced. Truly a banner day!

It is a potential issue. With Lafferty up in an emergency role, the Pens have 23 on their active roster. Assuming Lafferty goes back, that makes 22. Trotman will also likely go back to make that 21. Dumoulin and Marino coming back brings that to 23 on the roster. If Bjugstad ever comes back from IR someone will have to go to IR or to WBS.

now that would be a bet I am ready to take on

now its your turn...watch out

 

[Goalie_Bob]

Ruhwedel or Riikola will be sent down.

Yes, I am getting 80 million including raises.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Ruhwedel or Riikola will be sent down.

Ooh, big mystery which one!

 

[LumberJag]

Seems to be the most likely scenario.

Still though, at impending full health (Dumo/Marino/Bjug, sans Jake of course), who goes down out of ZAR/Riikola/Ruhwedel/ERod (assuming Simon is out of the question). Is Riikola still waiver exempt?

Maybe they know Bjugstad isn't coming back. Hm.
