GDT: #57 Pens vs. Blues| Sat, Feb. 25 3:30 PM EST @ EC| It's a Great Day.....TWSA!

[ZorkEnchanter]

Hahah... I guess Philly/Hextall is an inside job.

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

Kappy prob isn’t playing , cool your jets. Hope he tears it up rest of season though.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

You get out of the contract, but it looks like Kapanen had at least some value left and the FO got nothing back for him.

Seriously?

 

[LOGiK]

Maybe they will use the third first round pick to get him back?

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Lol. Kapanen is scoring at least 2 goals tonight to fill up the embarrassment this season is somehow lacking.

Hopefully skates by the bench and does the circle game gesture at Sullivan after every goal he scores.

 

[Zbynek]

The locker room situation in St. Louis looks fantastic. I'm sure Kap will flourish there!

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Wondering if one of Hallander, Gruden, Puustinen or even if I don't really think he's any better than Kapanen's worst traits and habits Nylander might be up soon.

With all his new clothing he'll go out and buy to celebrate, he'll probably be the flashiest guy in the room.

Oh, on the plus side, no more of those stupid commercials.

I’m sorrry, but the roster is the roster.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Sad. Would've liked to see him either score a hat trick and throw a handful of shit at Sullivan and Carter, or be on the ice for like 3 goals against. No in between.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Wait are people mad he was claimed? I thought Kap was irredeemably horrible. This gets them out of that crippling contract and sets things up so Big Jeff and the Brockstar can finally be unshackled and really shine, guys.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Bummer... I guess they'll pass each other in air later.

I'm only bummed they didn't get anything for him than just Kap space...

Who’s mad lol? Can you tag the post?

Feels like everyone is happy that we got out of the contract and that Kappy is gonna have a shot with another coach/team?

There are people whining that Hextall didn't turn him into a pick or something. But he's also totally worthless and sucks and his contract is terrible. This fanbase is confused, right now.

I used to think that’s same thing about Shero lol. I don’t know why we like to hire GMs with Philly roots.

People are talking about Kappy on 3 threads. I must have missed it or the usual trolls are blocked… oh well

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Well lucky for us... we are re-living the Shero/Bylsma marriage.

 

[metalan2]

I'm floored he was claimed. Cap space is gold right now and kappy was useless with Bylsma, I mean Sully.

I will say that I think it's hilarious that the dude had like 70% of his 160 games with the Pens be varying degrees of terrible and Hextall nixed a trade to a team in the EC because you just simply can't trade a talent like that to a team you'll see multiple times a year.

Please let the record show I've been on this side since the day Sleepy qualified him and I remain on this side.

Let's hope Brockstar is next.

i thought I had read there were teams interested in acquiring him, and one team Hextall didn’t want to trade Kap to. Obviously Kap being claimed shows there was interest so how hard did he really try to trade him before losing him for nothing.

It’s whatever, but even something like a 4th or 5th round pick is something

Asset Management is something the Penguin know nothing about.

Maybe St Louis recognized how shitty Sullivan’s system is and that no non-elite players can thrive in it, so…lol

Most of them are just regurgitating media points, Twitter posts, and analytics charts.

Losing Kapanen does damage to this bottom six. We now have literally no offensive talent down there.

Who is thriving here lol?

I'm not... @AuroraBorealis put up the Points stats, he's like one of our better Points/Even Strength. He just needs a coach with a different systems and he'll be and okay middle six.

Just more shitty asset management from our end.

A few more galaxy brain moves go south like this and we're literally going to be done.

I don't know about you but most of the "Hexy" / Sullivan FA's haven't really been good. 60-70 Junk?
