Come on, do something. It doesn't even have to be the Penguins, I'm just bored.
Will post cap info soon
You don’t always have a chance to make history with two generational players in their prime . . .Right now, where the Pens are reminds me of the 2012 deadline.
KMN was killing it. Staal had stepped up with Sullivan and Dupuis. As Sid returned from concussion, there was a perfect potentially game changing opportunity to pony up and get Sid an impact winger at the deadline. Prices were 'too high', Shero stood pat, saying he liked his team as it was (the wingers were 'fine') and had the media parroting the line, and then that debacle of a series with Philly happened.
This year, the potential is there for a game changing trade for a 3C, game changing not just in terms of the impossible matchup situation it would present but also in terms of how sliding Sheahan to L4 would give us 4 scoring lines coming in wave after wave after wave. But, prices are 'too high'.
While not exact, it's still an interesting parallel.
In the end, I think JR will go for it now and worry about 3 years from now later.

I think it’s clear: Go all in.It's such a risky gamble but boy is it tempting, eh? The safer play is grab what you can grab and make this team the best you can. Even if we gra every perfect player by overpaying, it doesn't guarantee anything. But it could kill us in a few years. But then again.. what if it pays off. That'd be insane.
I'm glad I don't have to make these decisions.

he's killing their shot at the top pick......trade him now!Brassard scores with 31secs left to tie, OTT wins in OT.

I'm the same on Cullen. It's so tight. They could lose a couple games and be in a completely different spot. The Wild, to me, have enough depth and don't really need Cullen; I think these past few games are an aberration, to be honest. And I would expect Boudreau to say nothing but that publicly.
We need to move on, seriously. JR shouldn’t even consider him until the day of the deadline. Minny only has 5 games or so until the deadline. They’d have to lose every game while the other teams all win games for them to be out of the playoffs significantly by the deadline.Minnesota is down 5-2 to Washington right now. If they lose tonight and Colorado wins tomorrow, they're out of a playoff spot. Felt it was worthwhile sharing, since that may have impacts on Cullen. Here's what Mackey today said about Cullen:
Sprong, Sheary, 2nd for signed Evander Kane.
I've maintained my opinion all along, which was we should try and upgrade 3C.In all seriousness, what is up with this board? 24 hours ago so many of you were saying Sheahan is fine! Now so many are saying Jimmy better go all in? Which one is it??? Flip flop city.
