Yea about calling up ANA right now...



DO IT!
I know there'll be more than us wanting their D but you gotta make that call.

 

[Ryder71]

JJ is gonna make everyone eat crow come playoffs. Bank on it.

I'll be glad to chow down if that's the case. I desperately want to be wrong here. I'm sure many of us do.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Follow the yellow brick road?

 

[JackFr]

JJ is gonna make everyone eat crow come playoffs. Bank on it.

Based on what? Just a random guess?

 

[Riptide]

Im not thinking that they would do so to prevent him getting poached by another club, more so that he wouldn’t retire and get a day job or go to Europe maybe. I’m guessing this is the case if it’s a 2way deal that pays him 200-300k vs 70-90k. Just my hunch, but who knows. He does wear an “A” though.

If that is what they are doing I like it.

But they could still pay him 200-300k on an AHL only contract. The only thing an NHL contract does is prevent him from signing an NHL contract with another NHL team.

 

[ownal]

I know everyones dismal but I think the Pens are a middle pairing defenseman and a middle 6 forward away from being on the right page.

That achievable. Maybe the defense gets a plug and the winger can be masked by a fill in... or someone get hot... Or Teddy B just finds his notch...

Right now ZARs looking fantastic with Malkin. Like a mean version of Feds.

A top 3 D and a 2LW away. But how many other teams can say the same thing?

It just seems crazy to me that they have Kesler’s albatross contract and Henrique’s not-so-great deal up front, and so they’d be boxed into selling one of their defenders.

Anyway, it would have to be Fowler at this point, right? Manson and Lindholm have to be non starters, and Montour seems like he’s too cheap and too young to pass on. Do you think offering up a start of Pearson and Jarry with picks gets any traction?

Not without giving a ridiculous number of picks.

Right now my best guess for Pearson's and Jarry's trade value would be equivalent to two 3rd round picks, or a 2nd and a 3rd with a bit of luck. As a package, they move the needle on SFA.

Maatta and picks might start getting places.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Would love to see the Pens pick up DSP if they could. He was an absolute beast for the Craps last year. He'd give the 4th line some physical jam we've lost. Plus he's a LW. I'm not really thrilled with our LWers at the moment. After Guentzel, you might as well pull a slot machine to figure out who goes where. Too much uncertainty on the left side and playing Rust/Kessel out of position.

 

[Pete Gas]

Guerin for Bottlerocket

(K5)

I would think they meant Housley?

Ironic if we end up with DSP and the Caps with Hagelin

 

[Malkinstheman]

Wheres the space for DSP? We already have Blueger sitting and team loves Wilson.

 

[pistolpete11]

I think it is hoping against hope that JJ is going to suddenly turn it around in the playoffs, but some guys do manage to elevate their game in the post season. Hopefully JMFJ is one of them.

I think the thing that might help him the most is if he can play on the left side. In his defense, he has played most of the season on his off side. That's not the best thing for a low hockey IQ player. That's why I think finding a RHD that can move the puck well should be their #1 target. I just don't know who that guy is.

 

[KIRK]

I would think they meant Housley?

One would think, although I'm sure they're not too fond of Bottlerocket either.

 

[KIRK]

Ironic if we end up with DSP and the Caps with Hagelin

Ironic certainly is one word.

Pathetic would be another.

 

[cheesedanish87]

 

[mpp9]

Don't have use for him unfortunately.

 

[66-30-33]

Maatta, 1st, Addison for Fowler. Do it!

 

[Nakawick]

I have visions of Hags blowing by Jack Johnson en route to scoring the game winner in the deciding game.

Similiar to Todd Marchant blowing by a rumbl’n, bumbl’n, stumbl’n Derian Hatcher in OT in game 7.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Coyle would have been an amazing target 2 months ago.

 

[CommissionerGordon]

Bobby Ryan [$1.8m salary retained]
Matt Duchene
Logan Brown

Matt Murray
Brian Dumoulin
Nick Bjugstad
Jared McCann
2019 1st

 

[66-30-33]

Yeah Caps trade for Hags, Pens counter with Dzingle.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Probably, although I do wonder IF there's an early exit (1st round or even the bad 4-1 or 4-2 in round 2) if we get some ugly anonymous sniping between Camp JR and Camp Sully this summer.

that scenario depends who we would lose to and how. A 6 or 7 game first round exit to Tampa or Washington wouldn't exactly be an embarrassment.

That too depends on how . . .
