A real jerk thing
I can’t go on. I’ll go on.
There's man all over for you, blaming on his boots the faults of his feet.

There are even more one-year wonders that put up a .940+ and then were like GoalieBob said, never heard from again. The only ones I see from that timeframe that have worked out are Connor Hellebuyck and Thatcher Demko. The jury is still very much out on Oettinger, Swayman, and Knight.
I'm not saying don't be excited by the possibility, but I'm going to hold my breath until I see Lindberg do the work in the AHL too. GMRH sure as hell better not let the signing of Lindberg mean that we don't still need to go out and get a goalie anymore (I'm looking for you Flower.)
*Edit- Goaliebob showed his work anyway too. Bravo sir.
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...
Looks like Fleury will be suiting up for the Sexual Assaulters.
He also said the team would get more physical, which has been total bs so far. You can’t trust everything he says.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…
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?There's really no need for a goalie upgrade until the deadline.
Jarry and DeSmith can take us that far, anyway.
Excellent thread title, @Peat.
Rust bores me. His play is just so pedestrian the last few seasons.
Are we confident that Hextall has a plan?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.

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.

Molinari has an article today wondering aloud if the Pens should go after Lundqvist when he’s medically cleared to play…lol
