Well, shall we acquire a proven starter?
Yes, let's acquire a proven starter.

Boston can add all the depth they want but they just lost Krejci. They are taking a step back this year.
Seattle perplexes me because they had the opportunity to become another perennial contender right out of the gate. They had the same ED rules as Vegas, and they had the rest of the league by the balls when it comes to cap space. So many missed opportunities to take on side deals for 2nd round picks. Like, in the Vegas ED Vegas would have been given a 2nd to skip Domi and take Bayruther. With how cap strapped teams were, some of them would have offered a 2nd to take Domi instead. But Seattle punted and decided to build the old school way. What a waste.[/QUOTE]
Petterson+Jarry for Fleury and a Prospect or pick would be a cap savings of 525,175 for the Pens. (Why is Petterson's cap hit so weird anyway?)
It looks like Chicago is boned if Fleury won't report, so we could probably squeeze a good piece out of them with this trade. The problem is that I don't think Chicago needs a #2 LD.

To change the discussion a bit from the last few days...
Is there an argument to be made for exploring trading Dumoulin instead of Pettersson? No doubt the better player, but five years older and soon-ish UFA. Is there a discussion to be had cashing in on him and getting some assets before he gets older and perhaps starts declining or walks in free agency? And would he get us a better package than Pettersson considering he's a better player and not as big of a long-term drain on the salary cap for the acquiring team?
I'm not advocating one or the other, just interested if there's a discussion to be had on the subject.

Depends where you see the team going innit.
If you think this team could make some noise this year, the deal for Dumo would have to be astronomic to make it worth it.
If you think this team needs a retool at the least before we do anything, then this team should be indeed looking at moving Dumo instead of Pettersson if the price is right. Also Rust.
Which I think points very clearly to what Hexturke thinks about this team...
since Hextall has already said they’re going to re-sign Rust, that tells you everything to know depending on your perspective. Personally I think it shows they think we’re nowhere near a contender but given cap space and moves that would need to be made, and the core coming back, there’s not much they’re going to do about it—they’re gonna put together the best team they can for the money and ride Sidney off into the sunset …if they were serious about being contenders, they would make bolder moves, particularly on goaltending…I mean re-signing Rust could be spun as “I think we’re contenders now and don’t need to make any moves” but that’s ridiculous spin imo in the context of three first round exits with Sully’s players doing it Sully’s way…

Looks like Fleury will be suiting up for the Sexual Assaulters.

They need a Fleury for a PR damage control.

Rust bores me. His play is just so pedestrian the last few seasons.

He also said the team would get more physical, which has been total bs so far. You can’t trust everything he says.

But then you will have to trade away assets to accomplish that in the middle of the season. Does sleepy want to trade picks or prospects?
Also, if Pettersson sucks out of the gate, we are stuck with that contract forever.

I'm guessing the crossover between Pittsburgh Penguins fans and Samuel Beckett fans is a pretty small demographic.

Then on top of that, Sullivan refuses to move Rust off L1. Despite the whole line sucking ass. I was hoping they would trade him before his big payday but I guess Hextall has other plans.

Marc-Andre Fleury won’t retire, will play for Blackhawks next season
Can we please stop talking about Fleury?

We'll see.
I'm not nearly as down as most of this forum on Pettersson. I think he's been a lot more solid than he's been billed here, and the underlying numbers support that. He's not perfect but he's a pretty smart, mobile 6'3" defenseman.
I'd move Matheson over him in a heartbeat if that were an option.

That's another thing Sullivan needs to improve.
Why can't Malkin see more of Guentzel and Rust when we can't generate anything? Why can't we try Kapanen and Zucker with Crosby? Our top 6 is way too static.
you’ll have the pleasure then of watching his boring ass at $5.5 mil per year at least after this year…instead of his cheap current rate….lol
Molinari has an article today wondering aloud if the Pens should go after Lundqvist when he’s medically cleared to play…lol

At some point this "must move on from Jarry or the universe explodes" stuff has to disappate.
He has shown he can be very good at times. So has DeSmith.

If Lundqvist is good to play, signing him and trading DeSmith is something I would 100% be in support of.
