Speculation: Trade Rumors Part XI

[Nordic*]

And you're extremely aggressive to anyone you disagree with, that's not how you have a rational discussion with people.

I have noticed the same behaviour from him too..

 

[Exit Dose]

He did, but that just fixed an offseason screwup. I think we need another forward, center preferably, brought in to be better than we were last season. Get Stewart or Maroon off the top-9 basically.

That's true of most of the trades going down right now.

 

[dracom]

Pens get Schultz. Better there, than LA where they might fix him.

Hartnell would of fit in perfectly with our system... I really hope we can get a top 6'r. I just can't imagine our lineup competing with the Hawks if we got that far.

Also, I dont think Vrbata would do well here at all. Pretty soft and a perimeter player these days.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Schultz to PIT...end the dream folks!

 

[Vipers31]

Is that reliable?

 

[teemuselanne]

Murray's sleeping. Regardless of the Perron and Garbutt acquisitions, we still need help in the top 6 to compete with Chicago/others. Some of the prices of the guys acquired today were more than reasonable and worth it IMO. I hope he doesn't settle with some bottom 6 tweeter which I think is more likely than the latter

Wow the trade deadline show on monday is gonna be boring with all the trades happening now.

 

[Exit Dose]

Haha, Rutherford is the worst.

 

[Unholy]

Can't root for the Pens in the East now

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Is that reliable?

Usually very reliable account.

 

[Vipers31]

Haha, Rutherford is the worst.

No words. If he was the GM of my team, I'd probably wake up every day after haunting fever-dreams, scared to check online for any news.

 

[HanSolo]

While Lombardi is a better GM, he also doesn't have one hand tied behind his back and the other one with immobilized elbow.

All I meant was Lombardi is a guy that's always making big trades.

 

[ShadowDuck]

Damnit, I really wanted Schultz in LA

 

[190Octane]

Maybe I'm the minority but I don't think he needs to do much at this point. There are 3 lines that can score and our 4th is one of the better 4th lines around the league. We have 3 pairs on d that can be rolled no problem.

There really isn't much out there that won't cost an arm and a leg that would be a major upgrade.

I seriously don't know what some of you expect.

You sure?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Can this thread not be disagreements about disagreeing? At least not while there might be real news over the next few days?

Yes, it can. Anyone who feels otherwise take said arguments to PM's please.

There are still lots of guys, who could move before the deadline. Boedker, Vrbata, Staal and Hamhuis, to name a few. Every year somebody says that the TDL show is going to be boring, but it usually lives up to the "hype".

That's why getting Gorges at 50 percent retained is going to be robbery.

I think we should upgrade one of Maroon/Ritchie and Stewart/Santorelli. Do we need to? Maybe not, but I'd be much more comfortable with someone like Vrbata on Getzlaf's wing than Stew and Santo.

So what was going through the collective heads of the Pittsburgh brain trust? "Hmm...MAF might not get lit up in the playoffs this year, what can we do to fix that?"

Probably something between "Norris potential!" and "he destroys Fowler's advanced stats for a reason".

 

[Exit Dose]

I'm more amazed by the pick that they gave up. A third for a player that has been benched both for his form and work ethic?

 

[duckaroosky]

Rutherford just got an automatic F for the trade deadline.

And who's contract doesn't even allow any long-term potential to figure in.
