GDT: #60 Pittsburgh Penguins @ Florida Panthers

[Speaking Moistly]

Sure yeah, but that wasn't the point. That team had so much talent Jussi was a healthy scratch at times, now we have Sill playing...

It's not like MJ is some genius bench boss either.

Sure, but you've got to remember that Jokinen shouldn't have been a healthy scratch given that Adams was still playing every game.

When was the last time a team traded a young 3rd line winger with top-6 potential for a 40+ year old rental? I'll wait.

How is a 35 point pace "minimal for a 3rd liner"? That's extremely average for a 3rd liner, and that's with Sutter (who has been really bad).

I'm starting to see the other side of things despite the attitude of everyone. I still don't see why the age keeps getting brought up though. What if it was a 35 year old rental of the same skill level as Jagr now? It's a rental no matter how you slice it. The age makes no difference it's what you're getting for the short term.

I think Beau has talent for sure, and it would take another year maybe two before I said he just isn't going to develop, but I'm not sure what people would be willing to give for Jagr. Kunitz is a completely pointless return for the Devils, and in general I think the general disposition of this board is to not make strong deadline deals for better or worse.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Another PK kill.

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Errey just called ropes, kettlebells. Bravo, Bob.

 

[KIRK]

Another PK kill.

Without Adams?

 

[Shrimper]

England dominating the cricket and Penguins winning.

Just need a Crosby goal and I'm happy as punch.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

The shots count is embarrassing.

 

[Fordy]

It's not like no team has ever traded a young guy for rental talent. As for Beau's scoring, he scores minimally for a third liner. That's all he's shown so far. If you think he's got more in store for us in the next couple years, hey keep him. I think it's a flip of the coin

see this is why it wasn't worth really responding because you'll just hand wave it away anyway

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Without Adams?

Well, he's in the building so he's clearly developed telekinesis and is PKing from safety.

 

[Ugene Magic]

When are the refs gonna learn to get out of the way?

 

[Waffle Fries]

That ref should get called for interference

Your point about what it will take to get Jagr is a good one. I don't know that the Pens have the pieces to get him.

So basically "I think Beau is a middling NHL prospect, which I think is a reasonable return for Jagr. If you disagree then I'm sure you'd want to keep him" was not a legit response? Btw we're up to three posts of nothing from you.

 

[ColePens]

Kunitz looked like he didn't even try to skate there. I hate Kunitz.

Love Despres tho.

 

[Shrimper]

Not doing enough on the front end. Leaving it all to Fleury.

 

[vodeni]

geno ends shift after 10 seconds, he is disgusted, he realizes why even bother...

 

[canadianguy77]

There's some pretty sloppy play.

 

[ColePens]

Too much space in the neutral for Florida.

 

[KIRK]

Kunitz looked like he didn't even try to skate there. I hate Kunitz.

You know what's funny, even with how things have gone 180 this weekend, nothing has changed where Kunitz and Sutter are concerned.

I just hope JR doesn't suddenly become content, like the threats were enough.

 

[Gold Diamond]

Pouliot looks bad.

 

[IcedCapp]

Dear god the Pens look spent.

 

[hiptanaka]

Great skating by Despres.

 

[Shrimper]

Get one on this PP.

 

[KIRK]

Dear god the Pens look spent.

Where you been? Forget the start time?

Tbh, I think we do. I really don't see Jagr getting much more than Guerin in 2009. I think a F prospect and a conditional 3rd should be enough to bring him in, even at 50%. Jagr has slowed down a lot this year.
