Me too. I have no problem with that.

Thinking there is no coincidence that this team started to suck bad after he got hurt. I would have a problem with that trade.

For a player with 2.5 years left before FA? I'd be very hesitant. Value wise I wouldn't have an issue with it... but his lack of term is unsettling.

Him leaving would be even worse than Perron leaving. But with it being 2.5 yrs vs 1.5 years, you can't really discuss a contract as it's too far away to really know, and it's too short to really offer any security should he leave.

You have to give to get, and Burns would solve so many of our problems.

Yeah, but our 20 year old star defensemen that already has been a part of the Finnish olympic team?

In the RS era, yes, but in the JR era, no. He's done a great job bringing guys in to give Malkin and Crosby guys to play with. Obviously it's not gonna happen in just one season, but it's a good start.

Shrimper said:
The biggest problem with this team is that we have got two superstar centers and expected to win with them, we haven't thought about building a roster around them outside of a few players. That is the problem and it needs to change.

Biggest issue with that is if Crosby gets to dictate the lines...it doesn't matter much who you bring in put around him.

If Dupuis was still healthy I gotta think that we would have found our way back to Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis. If that's the way the show is run...psh...we're in for another Lemieux Jagr circa 1993 to 1997/2001 era. All the talent in the world...wrong people making the calls = no cups.

I hope JR gets more aggressive in the summer with a potential larger trade. These little tid bits here and there are all well and good but I think we need a major move to bring in a good wing to really pair with Geno. Then, like I've said before, we can stick Comeau with them and all is well. The building block get there.

It would also be nice to get one of Boychuck, Petry, or Franson. Just someone with a little more physicality. Letang-Maatta will be the top pairing. Despres-Boychuck would make a great second pairing. Then you can have a combo or Scuds, Bortzy, Pouliot, Dumo, Harrington, etc for the bottom pairing.

Ideally we'd be trading Pouliot+ for Burns, but if it came down to it I'd be fine with giving up Maatta. It would be a tough decision though.

Eberle and Petry from EDM, and Staal from CAR, mentioned on Mark MAdden's show as potential blockbuster deals going down.

Borque's comments about the Pens needing to make a big move/change to the team.

Discuss.

(I'd love Sutter/Kunitz/1 2016 for Eberle/Petry)

Does Madden have any credibility?

Lol that would be awesome.

Not necessarily in a good way...but awesome.

If Hall was ever available, I would give up a lot for him. He would solve a LOT of issues for this team.

Click to expand...

If Burns had more term left (say 3 or 4 additional years left vs the 2 he does have) or was a little younger, I'd have an easier time with it. Not saying I wouldn't do it... just that it would be very very hard to do that trade. Value wise it's all good... it's just his contract.

pensfan71 · Feb 20, 2015

I wouldn't want Eberle tbh...too soft and perimeter like

Were those suggestions or actual rumors? I don't see how we could get Eberle tbh. I'd love to bring him in. Maybe Sutter, Kunitz and Harrington for Eberle? That's probably not enough still.

Perron is facilitating a mass exodus out of Edmonton to blessed Pittsburgh freedom, methinks.

I'm sure you do. But do you really see Edmonton trading that pair for a late 1st one year away, a young center who's a FA in 1 year and a 35 yr old winger?

If Kunitz was younger (say early 30s) and Sutter had more term or controllable years left, I could see it making some sense. But as it is, we would be adding something significant to that proposal. Likely at the very least Harrington/Dumoulin... and realistically more.

Was vague on the details, sorry.

Unless the Canes can retain 50 percent of his hit and, oh, about five years of his contract, I do not want Jordan Staal.

How about Pouliot, as was rumored a couple days ago to be in play by GMJR for a big deal?

Pouliot as the centerpiece, with Kunitz/Sutter included?
