C’mon Rob, you need Rakell or Pettersson to make it past Edmonton

Saad and Blues mutually agreeing to terminate his contract. I imagine he signs with a contender for cheap.

I don't think Saad would come here tbh.
It's either a contender looking for cheap depth (notably Edmonton stands out due to the Bowman connection) or Chicago.

One thing's for sure- if Dubas had any concern over reaching the cap floor whatsoever next year, he would have absolutely claimed Saad at$4.5M.

Edmonton's building a team that would have destroyed the league in 2017 between adding Skinner, Arvidsson, Klingberg and Saad. Sucks for them that it's 2025.
Go convince them Karlsson is still 2017 Karlsson and see if they give up a fortune for him.

If I was Dubas I'd be targeting a player like Ehlers and giving him like a 12 mil x 2 contract.

Mark Madden: Change is integral for Penguins' rebuild, and Sidney Crosby can help it move forward
The Penguins’ three-man core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang has played together for 19 seasons, a record for North American sports. It’s a nice story. The unbreakable bond of eternal brotherhood. It’s a success story. Three Stanley Cups, another Stanley Cup Final and over a...

Madden predicting Malkin won't play next season and implying Crosby should retire. Wow.

I don't live in Pittsburgh, so I've never listened to Madden's show, and I only occasionally pay attention to his articles. What is this clown's deal with the 101st-best player of all time?Mark Madden: Change is integral for Penguins' rebuild, and Sidney Crosby can help it move forward

If a player doesnt do his show or talk to him after games, he has no problem finding any reason to trash them. Sid, Ben, Mario all can do no wrong. Staal used to do his show, so back in like 2014 his schtick was Staal should have stayed as 2C, and Malkin should have been moved for depth help. Then after they didnt 3peat, Malkin should have been traded for Barkov+1st. Then when he signed this last contract, they should have let him walk and signed Trocheck.

Sullivan gots to go!
Hardly a nightmare scenario if this team actually starts playing to their potential. Remember, we still have to watch this team, and some of you are actually paying very good money to see them. I am boycotting the Montreal games until Sullivan is gone, but many of you are not.
Chances are, IF Sullivan were to be let go, there would be 3-4 call-ups from the AHL instantly, and Dubas could be freed to make the types of trades he wants to make. He probably hesitates at the moment for good reason. Here are some (not ALL obviously) Dubas transactions and where we stand with them:
- Jarry re-signing (currently in the AHL after being waived through the league).
- Graves signing (currently the No. 6 D, has been mainly the No. 7 D with an occasional No. 8 D slot).
- Tomasino acquisition (started on line 2; mainly been playing on line 3, tonight he could be a healthy scratch).
- Glass acquisition (has sucked pretty much everywhere we have tried him, but one thing we know for sure...he is a terrible RW and he cannot score to save himself).
- Hayes acquisition (was a healthy scratch a ton when we were doing reasonably well; now that we suck, he is our second-line center. Not a coincidence, but to be fair he has played much better than many of his teammates).
- P.O. Joseph re-acquisition (started off playing well next to Letang, just like last season. AND just like last season, Sullivan tinkered and moved him off that pairing. Now, he proved he cannot play the right side so he is our latest No. 7 defenseman).
I know that if I were the GM of this team, I would be rather gun-shy about making moves that involve NHL players for the reasons given above.

Feels like Clarke from LA is the exact kinda move Dubas constantly says he's interested in making. We'll see though.
