Lafferty seems to be the only penguin to hit most nights when he does play.
Doesn't really help or hurt the pens just makes them even softer
FWIW, Aston-Reese is 4th in the league in hits.

I am really confused for why Chicago did this. Lafferty stinks, he has 3 goals in his last 90 games and does nothing except for throw hits and take stupid penalties.
This seems like Chicago giving up a scratch off lottery ticket for a bag of day old McDonald's from the dumpster.
Yes Buffalo screwed up his development but at some point the player, who possesses the tools to play in the NHL needs to dig deep and grab a role at the NHL level. He may receive legitimate opportunity in Pittsburgh but it’s probably not a good fit overall. He needs to go to a team where he’s given legitimate too 6 minutes for a good period of time.
He probably gets one more opportunity after Pittsburgh but that will be it before he’s in Europe to resurrect himself.
Had never heard of Lafferty and googled him. Oh my god, this 26 year old's hair development is a legitimate tragedy

When is the last time ZAR dropped the gloves? Or delivered a game changing hit ?FWIW, Aston-Reese is 4th in the league in hits.
Except that Highmore is better than Gaudette.This is so much like the Gaudette for Highmore trade that it's almost like CHI owed the hockey gods some cosmic karma.
But in all seriousness it sounds like a trade that doesn't make sense to make, but ultimately doesn't register as good or bad a year from now
At least he's a good looking kid with a good head shape lolHad never heard of Lafferty and googled him. Oh my god, this 26 year old's hair development is a legitimate tragedy

He’s almost 27 years old. I know no one will ever want to give up on turd players in Pittsburgh because Erod turned it around, but Laff is a depth player you sprinkle in only if there is a Covid outbreak on the big club.Pens fan........
I know nothing about Nylander, here's hoping he's good. I think Lafferty has the skill and speed to be a decent player. I never liked his role with the Pens, and was extremely snakebit here. I wouldn't be shocked if he blossomed with the Hawks.

Where does this remark come from? Not saying it's not something that happened, but I had just never heard of that.
Lafferty always struck me as a pretty big dude with good wheels who was nothing if not a pain in the ass when he played Washington. Maybe Chicago wants more sandpaper. Nylander has more upside but probably not as suited to an energy role if he’s not in a scoring role.
