[CanadianPensFan1]

Good christ. I'm watching tsn. Jim Benning is a tool.

 

[davemess]

bahaha tampa retaining 50% on Streit

Guessing even after moving Fehr that we only had cap space to pay for 45.3% of Streits salary (hence the weird 4.7% the Flyers are paying).

 

[Asuna]

i'm excited about the corrado deal. he has talent and we are pretty good at reclamation dmen lately apparently.

and no more fehr!

 

[Giskard]

Very good TDL, we added some depth at #D without giving up nothing of value and cleaning some cap for next year too.
Well done GMJR, well done.

 

[Shady Machine]

Dumo-Hainsey
Cole-Schultz
Streit-xxx

Once Letang is back:

Dumo-Letang
Cole-Schultz
Streit-Hainsey

Even with Maatta and Daley on the shelf, just getting Letang back makes a fairly solid top 6 IMO.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Does this mean he's 54.7% retained?

It had better. I'm ok paying 45.3 percent of his salary. 45.4 is asking way too much.

 

[Pick87your71Poison]

People complaining about these moves are being a little ridiculous. Saying you wanted Fleury and Kunitz and Bones out is one thing, but if we weren't going to get Duchene/Landy, it would have been stupid to force a "big" move and lose one of our top young guys. Our D is clearly banged up and we don't know what we will have ready for the playoffs and having 8 veteran guys back there isn't a bad thing for us. Plus, depending on how Streit is used, our PP could certainly use a boost. We gave up very little and added a guy that led the entire league in PP points by a dman just 2 years ago. Yeah, he's old, but he was a cheap rental and he was old when he did that too (37).

 

[Asuna]

at least corrado and streit fit the system

 

[Empoleon8771]

i'm excited about the corrado deal. he has talent and we are pretty good at reclamation dmen lately apparently.

and no more fehr!

Yeah, he very well might end up being nothing, but he's only 23 and he has missed basically an entire year of development due to his usage with Toronto. I like bringing him in, especially at such a low cost.

 

[DesertPenguin]

When can Sprong join the team? Tell him to intentionally throw his junior team's 1st round playoff series so he can get to Pittsburgh double quick.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

I'm really not sure who sits.

LD
Maatta
Dumoulin
Streit
Cole

RD
Letang
Schultz
Hainsey
Ruhwedel

I gotta say ... after reading about Hainsey not having ever been in the playoffs .. then being traded to a playoff team ... only to possibly be benched ... seems retry damn cruel.

 

[deakka]

I'll give you Corrado but why wouldn't Streit play in the playoffs?
He's capable of better play than Daley has shown this season.

My guess is they go with the original 6, and heinsey plays instead of Daley if he isnt recovering fast enough or plays bad. Streit/Daley as the 7/8

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

So, McGuire just talked a load of bs about Anaheim being involved?

Oh, and I wish that we had picked up Parenteau for a 6th. Good scoring depth.

 

[JTG]

Dumoulin - Letang
Cole - Schultz
Maatta - Hainsey
Streit

Those would be my pairs

 

[66-30-33]

Hope our PP will be much better with a guy who knows how to run 1.

 

[EliteGoaltending]

People who say that picks are overrated...Guentzel, Rust, Wilson, Kuhn are all playing like regulars for us and all were selected in 3rd or lower rounds.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

None of Corrado or Streit will play come playoffs. So we gave up 2x4th round picks for a months depth on defense until Maatta, Daley, and Letang is back... *sigh*

Is Corrado Waiver eligible now? so we can at least send him down without him needing to pass waivers?

Corrado maybe but Streit really? Daley might take time to get back to speed from his injury and assuming Maatta has any speed, he'll take some time to get back too. If Streit works out well, I wouldn't pull him out just to put one of those 2 back in.

 

[ncm7772]

These deal are nothing. Might as well have not made them. Plegh

We gave up nothing of value and picked up some stop gaps for our depleted D core. Now just get healthy and we can make a go at this.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Okay deadline for JR.

We didn't get the big fish, and we didn't trade away the toy, but we did leverage our forward depth to fix our defensive depth and didn't pay much at all. We rid ourselves of Oleksy, and Ruhwedel and Gaunce probably won't see the ice again (hopefully).

Streit should be good for us with fewer minutes (a 4th rounder for a cheap defenseman with 21 points in 49 games is a good ****ing deal), and as insurance in case of injury. Corrado's a question mark but I like that he has upside that could mesh with our team.

 

[Shady Machine]

Dumoulin - Letang
Cole - Schultz
Maatta - Hainsey
Streit

Those would be my pairs

Maatta-Hainsey is WAY too slow.

Those two can't play together.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

When can Sprong join the team? Tell him to intentionally throw his junior team's 1st round playoff series so he can get to Pittsburgh double quick.

Seeing how it is rumored that Sprong wanted to be traded from Charlottetown unless they went all in (which they did), I see no chance of this happening.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

People who say that picks are overrated...Guentzel, Rust, Wilson, Kuhn are all playing like regulars for us and all were selected in 3rd or lower rounds.

And the odds of that ever happen again are???? Super low.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I gotta say ... after reading about Hainsey not having ever been in the playoffs .. then being traded to a playoff team ... only to possibly be benched ... seems retry damn cruel.

I wouldn't believe what is said here. Hainsey is a solid defenseman and he'll likely be rotated in the line-up in the playoffs when healthy, assuming we are 100% healthy. Honestly though I would sit Maatta and play Hainsey over him. His lack of foot speed last year in the playoffs was painful as hell to watch and he's not any better than that this year.
