Quinn seemed like a horrible idea when it was announced and I don't think anything has changed.

Anyhow, anyone have any updates on Howe? I'm more interested in his development than most of our other prospects.

Yeah I still don't know what Quinn's purpose was/is tbh. Was he supposed to fix the power play? Was he supposed to be the EK Whisperer like Tocchet was apparently the Kessel Whisperer? Beats me.
Pals with Sully though, that's enough for me (to despise the dude being on the coaching staff).

I think they meant to hire Dan Quinn and just screwed up.
Safe assumption you're not wearing the I Got Pegged in Winnipeg shirt I sent you for Christmas?

It's out at the cleaners.
I'm currently wearing my "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fistmas" ensemble.
Dubas silently has to be OK with a top 10 pick and maybe higher with lottery luck. Plus what he gets back from the Karlsson, Rust and potentially Jarry trades in the off season. Add in the second and prospect from moving Petts at the TDL Cap increase next year gives the Pens more ability to move contracts. Lots of picks, some prospects and continue the rebuild. Sid sells tickets in the meantime.

I dunno if you even bother with buyouts tbh unless you're really trying to open up as much space as possible to chase somebody huge in FA or to take on a heap of terrible players for picks/prospects.

It's gonna rule when we move Pettersson to get a 1st that we'll package to have someone take Jarry off our hands.

Take solace in the fact that it'll be a 2nd and some loser 3rd liner (or prospect who projects to be a loser 3rd liner).

Less about being a narc and more not wanting every single thread to turn into complaining about Sullivan/Jarry/Graves/Dubas/ect.
I'm not saying you're not allowed to complain, but at least keep it to the appropriate threads. I'm in this thread for prospect updates, not a debate on whether buying out Jarry is the appropriate move.

Tanner Howe was traded tonight from the Regina Pats to the Calgary Hitmen.

That seems like a good fit. Calgary is already in line to make the playoffs and has Kindel who's highly ranked for this upcoming draft and Yakemchuk who was picked high in the last draft.

in the HFBoards way
I checked their stats and ages and decided that Howe should be their top F. If he’s not their leading scorer from here on out then he’s a bust.

Yeah Calgary has a good balance of being a competitive team but also not so good that Howe wouldn't get chances. Ideally he should be the most productive forward on the team
