You really need to learn to use punctuation... I don't have a clue what you're rambling about.

no he’s the finnish equivalent of Rob Scuderi

You're the online Ian Moran.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Stop with the Johnson to Ottawa...

Why are you wasting our time?

I thought we already discussed the plan. You go over to his house, spread the magic rash powder all over everything he owns, then he get's Hossa'd off our team.

Nobody in Pittsburgh is going to understand a cricket analogy.

Ottawa apparently

Ho boy. They were not fans of his the last time.

Unless we’re talking about Dumbo. We aren’t, are we?

That Lindell contract makes me love Dumoulin even more.

Been sniffing glue again?

Nah, it's the floor varnish and paint.

By the way, Roussel would be a decent pickup in a Maatta trade. Would fit us quite nicely and give us the right kind of "pushback"

I don't really think Roussel is "pushback", he's an agitator like Cooke. Roussel is a rat, he's not really someone I imagine would fit JR's idea of "pushback".

If we're talking about Maatta to Vancouver, I'd throw out Goldobin as a target for the Penguins to look at.

The coach and blueline had nothing to do with Kessel looking disinterested at best back checking, playing D or making terrible lazy passes at the blueline.

What part of that is new, exactly?

Seems to me Kessel played the same way when he was propelling us to consecutive championships. The difference is that back then we supported and insulated him then with exactly the type of players I mentioned.

When he has that, he can do his thing and be a huge net positive...he even did it this past season when Hags was on his line.

That Lindell contract makes me love Dumoulin even
more.

Lindell is a very very good player, and honestly that contract doesn't bother me in the least. He had more goals in his last 2 seasons (18 in 162 GP) then Dumoulin has had in his entire career - including POs (14 in 389 GP). And while I wouldn't trade the two because contracts do matter, I'd trade almost any other of our D, inc Schultz - and you know my opinion on how important he is if it meant getting Lindell or someone like him who's locked up.

f*** no. He's Sprong 2.0. Someone who if producing isn't terrible but offers NOTHING when not producing. And for the most part doesn't produce at a high enough rate to overlook everything else.

At no point in 15/16 or 16/17 did he ever look as bad as he did this season.

JR signed Downie, and Roussel may not have the same reputation, but they are somewhat similar. Looking back the JR guys like Downie, Comeau, and Hornqvist even are all some kind of gritty or "pushback" type of player. Those are the types of things we should be looking for, not defenseman with massive contracts.

I suspect I'm not the first to say this but, apart from dream returns, I don't really want to take back cap for Kessel and Maatta. I want futures, as much futures as possible, to give us trade currency for the dream additions from struggling teams and the hope of getting ridiculously successful on a pick/prospect. We don't need to add dmen after moving Maatta; the free agent market for wings is strong enough that I don't see the need to trade for one.

Wild are not trading Dumba.

Put Spurgeon there and it's a solid deal. Doubt wild would accept but its a fair offer

yah tottaly the same thing.

KD joined a 73 win team that won a championship before he joined.

The Pens without Letang are not a 73 win team with 4 all NBA players.

KD carried them the last two times and won MVP. They win a few playoff games without him and the media is all over him. We went the whole playoffs and won a Championship without Letang and Pittsburgh media says nothing and everybody acts like he's untradeable. I've called this double standard out many times. Just imagine if we won a Super Bowl without Ben, Bell, or AB they would never hear the end of it.
