Dreger: Rutherford "in the market" for a dman

[Peat]

Yep lets keep this D when healthy together and watch what happens. Sully is a joke now and the Pens need less of sully's stick on puck D and a player or two that can actually be a physical presence. So yes I move a Petts who has some value but a insane contract extension by grampa. Since Dumo is not close to a top pair D right now and Pens are still in that camp he is and Matheson who I think can be a good second pairing D man but that contract is simply unmovable. POJ will see more physical forwards and will struggle which is to be expected. But his mobility and hockey awareness is really good and he has a great future. So yes I take the D from Minny and move Riikola in another deal as well.

Yes, because we can really afford a physical D who can also keep up with the system.

3 way trade:

To Pittsburgh: Graves
To Colorado: Georgiev
To NYR: McCann

Dermott will cost assets. Honka was free. Unless it's for Laffy, ERod, or even - more ideally - ZAR, I don't see it. Begs the question why Toronto would as well.

Dermotts value gas dropped a fair bit ..cant see him bringing back more than a 3rd line winger

Only a 3rd line winger. Dude, we are a bit short on 3rd line wingers. Unless they want ZAR.

Has this been brought up yet? Could be 110% speculation but

I'd be okay with this.

Man sounds like vince dunn is exactly what is needed. 2nd pairing guy with offensive skill for an offensive team....

 

[Flying Dego]

I'd be okay with this.

If it's from Pittsburgh media you can probably disregard.

McCann would be difficult to ship out. We have no replacement for him so that would hurt our bottom 6 a bit too much.

Hopefully Guerin loves ZAR.

Hopefully Guerin loves ZAR.

After Zucker and Bjugstad, he should give us back Addison for ZAR.

Pens have no D left , Toronto needs a forward

So....I guess this will be locked now.

So....I guess this will be locked now.

Oh please, even deep into his retirement you can bet Rutherford will be texting all highly-paid, mediocre defensemen around the league "u up?".

What is with this Vegas anal stuff?

 

[jcs0218]

Rutherford isn't looking for a d-man anymore. Unless he plays EA Sports NHL games.

What is with this Vegas anal stuff?

Have you ever been to Vegas?
