[Turin]

Also, going back to the Dregs/CJ tweets, another thing to realize is they're Leafs gobblers sooooooo very much negotiating through the media

I hope to see a Schenn + Acciari to Toronto by noon tomorrow

Schenn and Acciari for Minten

Schenn and Acciari for Minten

Make it Minten and Niemela and I'm all for it.

 

[Turin]

I'll take just Minten, but they're pretty down on Niemela so why not

 

[Empoleon8771]

“Has become”

He was a good 5v5 player last year though. 1.66 5v5 points/60 with Carolina and 2.7 5v5 points/60 with the Penguins.

This year, Novak's 5v5 points/60 is 1.61 compared to 1.07 for Bunting. And Bunting did that with Malkin as his most common linemate, Novak's most common linemate is Luke Evangelista.

Keeping Rakell makes about as much sense as keeping Schenn

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I'd love Niemela.

Also, I was ecstatic about the Novak deal, but the dude turns 28 next month. I thought he was like 24/25. He's already too old to be a part of the future.

Any idea why they're down on him?

Sigh...Missing for Misa...


On the same page!

Misa want Sully fired.

 

[pensfan71]

Our next target, this is why we acquired Schenn!

If you understand that Sid is absolutely dreadful without Rakell, in Sullivan's genius system, it doesn't seem that illogical mate.

Who cares if Crosby is dreadful without Rakell? If anything that helps them get a better draft pick.

Are Crosby's stats more important than the rebuild?

 

[Coastal Kev]

It's funny to read people claiming JP was nothing more than bottom 6 fodder......... lol, did you see Geno's wings last game or for the most of this year.

And once again,, Sully never gave JP a shot with playing with Geno, even after he was the best player for the Pens the first 2 weeks.

Sully has destroyed this franchise

Guy who played with Auston Matthews is good.

Yes.

Nothing new but Yohe put out an article about todays trades and said this:

Just how much can he get for Rickard Rakell? Because I assure you that Rakell has been made available. But the price tag on Rakell, according to one source within the organization, is “a king’s ransom.”

I hope they dont overplay their hand and assume they can get a similar return in the summer or next year

A KINGS ransom you say

Yohe‘s just being cute. A “king’s” ransom. LA kings.

Crosby's stats are more important than anything and they've literally showed that time and time again. This isn't some opinion mate, they have literally shown you this for f***ing his entire career.

Malkin was playing absolutely fine with Rakell, a winger he was meant to have on his wing, not Sid. Sid always had Rust, but when Crosby struggled even with Rust, they pulled Rakell off Malkin's line and then eventually made Malkin a winger too and then when Malkin completely was thrown off his game for it and has had to endure garbage wingers the rest of the way, they've kept pandering to Sid's line, he has two right wingers on his f***ing line mate.

They never had any interest to help Geno.

It took 10 games where Geno had 14pts in 10 games and Sid had 7 where Sullivan decided after Rust was injured to strip Geno of Rakell and then turn him into a winger as well and completely f***ed his hot start up.

One of the dipshit owners of this team literally came out and said he owes it to Crosby to make the team competitive, the glazing has never been a secret. By f***ing up Geno's line, Sullivan showed everyone he really had no intention of using the line-up correctly, ever.

I don't buy a single f***ing thing that taint licking f***wad of a wankbucket has to say about anything.

So the "Kings ransom" is a 1st, a current NHL player under 28 and three prospects?

Now we just gotta get Evangelista for a 5th

 

[Zirakzigil]

Are Crosby's stats more important than the rebuild?

Yes, and we arent rebuilding. This is a retool and will be until Sid retires.
