Hopefully he carves out a role there.
Hopefully we get something worthwhile for moving him..

The former is more likely than the latter (and that's not necessarily because I believe in either having much likelihood of happening).
Sullivan desperately needs to win games. Even he's not that much of an idiot to the point that he'd keep sitting him even if he thought playing Sprong would win him games. This is where I think the biggest disconnect is with fans. Many see Sprong as someone who if used correctly should help score a lot of goals. I think Sullivan is seeing him as someone who does next to nothing to help his team if he's not scoring - and with his defensive game has frequently actually hurt his team's chances at winning... and hasn't scored even remotely close to enough goals to make up the difference.
But this is HF where promise and potential usually outweigh one's actual abilities.
Because it's HF. Prospects and potential always outweigh actual results.

Also. Sprong playing for RANDY is going to turn out well......
Didn't we supposedly want Montour a few weeks ago?
I could see the Pens being interested in Nick Ritchie also but doubt they have the assets to pull that either off.
I mean, there’s the fact Hornqvist is tied for third with EV goals this year. Why are you putting that on the 4th line?
Rust and Phil have played less than 5 minutes together this year and have 10 CA.
Eyes on your own paper?
What do you think the deal is?
1st and Sprong for Silfverberg makes the most sense in terms what the teams would give up..
If we get a D, I would think it’d be like Schenn or Sustr.
I don’t know, honestly.
No, the argument against Sprong is that he doesn't produce in 8.5 minutes and literally the rest of his stats are garbage too. His stats across the board are garbage, Sullivan is completely justified for not wanting to play him higher in the lineup. His play hasn't warranted it. Thinking Sprong should be used in a position of strength is one thing, complaining that Sullivan hasn't played a guy who has given horrid results in the top-9 is another.
Statistically, Sprong has done literally nothing positive this year. Doesn't generate chances, gets scored on a ton, the team doesn't score when he's on the ice...what there is good? Oh wow, he's outproducing the other **** depth pieces the Penguins have, bravo.
We've gone through this before WC, if you seriously think the argument against Sprong playing is "he hasn't produced while with Sheahan", you're not actually reading the posts you're responding to. Sullivan is completely justified for not promoting Sprong because his play hasn't warranted him getting promoted.
Thank the ****ing lord, finally.
Not unless it's a bigger deal, but one would think that Sprong would be an afterthought, not the guy people would be speculating about.
If JR trades our 1st again this year, I'm gonna be pissed! Maybe its Sprong for Cogliano?
Carter Rowney incoming.
Sullivan's dream coming true?!
Yeah I can't see Sprong being the center piece of any deal really. Who wants to give up anything worthwhile for a waiver ineligible player who hasn't proven to be able to hold a spot down?
Does Anaheim have any similar player in Sprongs situation? Prospect that Randy isnt playing? I'd have to check the roster I guess..
If we’re giving up our first, we better be getting Montour back...
