Rumor: Dhaliwal- Boeser to Pens is a real possibility

[Black N Gold]

Eh he'd get that time as soon as Rust leaves after the year.

Boeser is not coming to Pittsburgh. The source here in Pittsburgh said there were never any nore than casual/check in conversations....

 

[BruinsBtn]

Maybe like 5 years ago. Kapanen at his worst is much more of an asset than Hamonic.

And Boeser at his worst is much more of an asset that Kapanen.

From I just saw from a Pittsburgh source there were nothing more than casual/check in conversations on Vancouver's Brock Boeser !! He will not be coming to Pittsburgh..

Pittsburgh sources suck. So if they say Boeser isn’t coming here, he will probably get traded here tomorrow. The guy covering the team a few years ago told everyone that the Penguins weren’t getting Derrick Brassard and that anyone who thought they were must have been a new fan and not understood how the sport works… and then they…got Derrick Brassard, literally the next day

Not sure how the hell you can make that statement when you have no idea if Boeser will get traded to Pittsburgh or not

Who is your source?

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

How about Boeser + Poolman for Kapanen + Marino? We could do Hamonic as well but he has a modified NMC where he can choose 8 teams to block a trade to, and we know he wants to stay in Western Canada/West Coast so those teams wouldn't be on the list.

Another idea is Boeser + Rathbone for Marino + Dumoulin, but doubt Pittsburgh wants to uproot their defence like that.

You think someone would come on HFBoards and just make up that they heard rumors? That's unbelievable!

You're getting greedy with both of these.

Keep it Marino and Kapanen for Boeser and Hamonic/Schenn. Asking for more is getting greedy.

Pittsburgh should really want Poolman over Hamonic or Schenn, but because he’s overpaid the guy is seen as a leper.

He’s 6’4 and can skate, decent shot. Just not a top 4 D, and makes boneheaded plays sometimes.

He sucks and has a bad contract. No.

The whole reason of getting rid of Marino is to ease up our cap situation next year and moving forward.

Poolman doesn't do that.

Jesus, Poolman looks like another Sbisa.

I take your point, but I think you're incorrect about the bolded. IMO, Hamonic is the least valuable of the defencemen mentioned. In terms of quality of play + contract, it goes Schenn > Poolman > Hamonic. Poolman has been quite a bit better than Hamonic this season and is $500k cheaper for cap hit. Obviously the downside is Poolman has an additional 2 years on his contract, but at least he provides value that is somewhat close to his cap hit, whereas Hamonic is a liability both on and off the ice.

If we could ship Poolman out with Boeser for Marino and Kap I'd drive both of them to the airport myself.

This is a great comparison! I hadn’t thought of it but so true.

 

[StIvany4Norris]

Fine with Marino + ERod for Boeser + Schenn if Boeser comes with an extension or the contract ask isn’t crazy

Define contract ask not crazy ….

Sbisa was pretty decent in his last year with us. Nothing to write home about, but defensive play tightened up and you gotta like his physicality. If Poolman had the physicality of Sbisa he might not be a pure cap dump.

Anything more than 7 x 7ish

True sbisa played a better physical game… but that aside they encompass similar traits and an annoying contract you’d be fine to punt!

Ah yes, the Jim Benning special.

He should come in just under that… maybe mid 6’s if you’re lucky.

Thank you Bill Guerin…you don’t know anything lmao.

Vancouver would gave zero interest in this

If he’s quoting Pittsburgh media sources he definitely knows nothing lol. Pittsburgh media is absolutely terrible with stuff like this

 

[PensandCaps]

Boeser been a ghost at 5v5 this year. Even Lowly Kap has been better.

Any deal with Marino is an automatic no.
