Good points. But Letang is simply made of glass. At some point, availability is better than ability. The team needs to move on.
Made of glass?
God this forum is stupid as hell.
How does Reaves prevent this?

I'll update this with screen caps soon ...
I still maintain that Kessel isn't a Penguin come October. I was hopeful, potentially optimistic about the return, but now I am filled with dread thinking about what JR is going to get back for our most valuable, tradeable asset.
Not for a few years at least. What a waste.No playoffs for us.
Can someone explain to me how this team can afford the D next season?
Dumo-Letang
Maatta-Schultz
JJ-Gudbranson
Pettersson
That's like 25M in cap space.

Not right now. Not at this point in my life. Please, sir.Of course he's not going to be a Penguin. He'll be gone to Edmonton for a 2nd round pick and Milan Lucic.
Soooo yeah, who at lw is replacing Pearson now?
I think it's shut. You just don't win with a blueline that employs Jack Johnson and Erik Gudbranson. I don't care if you have Dumoulin and Letang as your top pair, or if you have guys like Sid, Geno, Jake, Hornqvist, Rust, Bjugstad and McCann in your top-9. That combination of JJ and Gudbranson is going to be too much to overcome for a couple of aging megastars and a forward corps that's got its own laundry list of issues.If Mario and Burkle were also behind the moves to get "tougher" then we're ****ed because JR isn't gonna get fired for the most recent incarnation of it.
I expect Phil to go this summer. And the return on that trade will determine if this team's window is truly shut.

Kessel gone for scraps or Kessel gone for Lucic with Edmonton eating half Lucic's salary.
