Salary Cap: What's the Maatta? Trade Prices too high? The Plotnikov thickens! Oh, Pou...liot.

Madden: "I KNOW THIS AS A FACT. THERE are Pens executives SCARED out of their minds of what Rutherford is ABOUT to do." (Madden sounded real sure of himself here. And the one guy we know he knows if Rickie Tocch. So, Tocch is an insider thru Madden that GMJR is going for a big move.)

(Madden expects a trade tonight thru tomorrow)

Quick! Someone slip a mickey into his prune juice!!

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Maybe we're gonna do the opposite of the Despres trade and that scares them

Exactly what I was thinking. GO JR, GO FULLLL JR AND SCREW THE REST

 

[Ogelthorpe]

I hope that no matter who gets Kessel, the return is very small.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Saying nonsensical **** IS Madden's game...

Precisely

 

[ColePens]

Madden said, "best thing about Kessel deal is: forces Perron to play FRIGGIN LW, like he's supposed to"

"Also, forces Kunitz and Dupuis to the third line. Which would be awesome"

Solid.

Then Said: If you get Kessel, might as well trade Bennett and Kapanen, because they will nvr get a chance here. Pens don't give young guys a chance.

To be fair... Beau and DPo for PK. Beau gets a place to show off his skill. DPo will look SICK w/ Babcock. PK will score a bunch of goals and be exciting but ultimately not the guy who pushes us over the edge... but at least a start.

As long as Sid, Geno, and Maatta are all on the roster...

JR, dressed like a trader on Wall St: "**** it, LETS MAKE SOME TRADESSSS!!!"

I'd agree...speed>whatever Richards is bringing

"Veteran leadership"?... Lol

You mean when WE get him

I know people will disagree, but I think Babcock is smarter than a lot of peopel think. When someone's name is out there like this - it just builds more and more overpayment. I disagree with many but I think it's all just a sham.

And a broken body? SO yeah he'd fit right in...

(It's Ward)

Does this mean, TOR is going south? So ward backup plan?

When Ward is a top free agent, you know this year's crop is ****ing horrible

 

[Cherpak]

I would think that means Frolik.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I like Ward, but not for the term he'll want. I hope it doesn't work out.

 

[IcedCapp]

Acquiring one of the best RWers in the game isn't "holding young players back"

Refusing to replace Glass or Adams with a young player is "holding developmental players back"

There are many cases you can point to and say, "The Pens failed to develop a player properly" acquiring Phil Kessel is not one of them, regardless of what happens to Beau Bennett and Kapenen afterwards.

Or posturing

 

[Kristopher Letang]

I'm sure I can be a TOP free agent this year.

 

[Cherpak]

I'm going to lose my **** if we get Ward.....

 

[Coach Travis]

It would be cool to get Richards just to parade him in front of Philadelphia on a line with Kunitz & Dupuis exclaiming "THIS was your Hero! But now his name is Reek!"

 

[OnMyOwn]

Yea, **** Joel ward for anything more than a year

 

[Phil68]

Listening to TSN... and Shanahan is speaking, i don't think Kessel is going to be a Pens anytime soon at all..

The Bruins retained close to half of Lucic's cap hit/salary in order to make trade work with the cap-strung Kings

 

[Ogrezilla]

At this point in time, any comments coming directly from a team source is meaningless unless it is an official announcement.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Nah you won't, cuz you survived Despres trade. We can take anything right now . Just bring the news JR we are ready for u!

Outstanding.

I think Skinner is the play.
