Skinners just gross they’re trading for Gibson they have to

Juraj Slafkovsky: 9-22-31
Shane Wright: 12-19-31

That's an interesting little factoid there...considering one is 'lol a bust who fell because he's a bust!' And the other 'just needs a few years to grow into his body as he drives his Porsche to pick up his paychecks.'

Take Shaner in your pool next year, boys, you'll get him late and he'll get 60-70 points.

They dropped the ball with that one for sure they could have traded down and got him anyway he wouldn’t go first to no one else in the league

I don't feel bad for their fans whatsoever. They were insufferable when Dubas and Karlsson were brought in. Let them suffer, Sid included.

Sid wanted Malkin and Letang back and all 3 wanted Sullivan as their coach.

Malkin and Letang are cooked and Crosby is already slowing down and will be 38 next season.

They don't have any good young talent to do the heavy lifting for the aging core.

This will be 3 straight seasons of them missing the playoffs.

Kyle is proving to be the GM we thought he was:

How many years left on Kyle's contract? That's gotta hurt.

4 or 5 but the better question is how many more years before he is fired? He managed to bullshit enough to get 5 years from a blind Shanahan but I doubt the Pens ownership gives him that much rope. They sure didn't give Burke and Hextall 5 years before sending them packing. Good on Kyle.

l can't see ownership keeping him around much longer at this rate.

This depends on if ownership brought him in to rebuild after the Crosby era ends. They have 29 picks, 15 in the first 3 rounds and 4 first round picks over the next 3 years.

If he was brought in to make them competetive short term while Crosby was still around, he will be gone.

If the plan was for him to oversee the rebuild, he will stay

Capitals are a machine right now.
They're looking like the clear best team in the East and you could make an argument they should make a big move at the deadline and get Ovie one last long run.

Their GM is by far the favourite and already clear winner of the GM of the year award. Very aggressive maneuvering in the last year that has paid off.

And they still have very good prospects coming up like Miro, Protas (the brother in the OHL), Leonard and C. Hutson from the top of my head.
