He’d have to compete with a bunch of mid aging trash and nobodies to establish his NHL career. Should be our pitch to any talented youngster like him or Rossi.

Think that's pretty much the case around the league tbh.
Really wish this team didn't continually, for like 15 years, keep the roster stocked full of vets. I get that the prospects have been pretty dogshit but still. This league loves to overrate vets, and this team's always been a big offender when it comes to that.

Dude could bet on whatever non-Penguins games he wanted. I don't know why anybody gives a shit. Lots of athletes have been big gamblers since the dawn of time.

Also, that most important point that I missed is you can't just pull draft picks out of thin air. Without even seeing the terms (if they even happen) any of these players can be flipped at deadline for picks.... Part of the plan

A real jerk thing
We absolutely do not need any vets for anything lol. We have 4 1st ballot HHOF guys on their roster at the tail end of their careers.

It was in an article of predictions he posted.
Can't wait for the 7th round picks that come flowing in for Hayes, Beauvillier, and Gryz.

I like how people say non-stop that Yohe is full of shit, but as soon as he says something people want to get mad about, they take it as gospel
Also Beauvillier to Pittsburgh wasn't "predicted" by Friedman, he said it was an "educated guess that you shouldn't take as gospel".

A collection of thoughts and predictions as NHL signing season kicks off
With a frenzy of free agent signings beginning today, Elliotte Friedman runs down the latest news, notes and predictions before the market officially opens.

The only slight saving grace to Beauvillier is that I don't think he will be viewed as a staple anywhere in the lineup. This isn't resigning Rust where you know a guy like DOC, Poulin, Pono, etc won't dislodge him from the top 6. Beauvillier is a guy you have no issue moving around the lineup.
That said, I really, really, really, really, really, REALLY don't want him. Unless they are thinking this a 900k Hinostanza, Colin White, Zohorna depth signing.

The hypocrisy of having 80% of league advertising revenue from gambling sources and relying on gambling for the growth of the game but forbidding league participants from even thinking about making a wager is just delicious.Dude could bet on whatever non-Penguins games he wanted. I don't know why anybody gives a shit. Lots of athletes have been big gamblers since the dawn of time.
Hell, I was in a fantasy league with an NHL staff member and he had to drop out after the Pinto incident because teams are so afraid of it. It is a $20 yearly buy in.

I am willing to hold out until we see how free agency shakes out before pronouncing anything but two little things:
1) when has this team sold high on a reclamation project in the last 10 years?
2) if you are hoping to flip Beauvillier and Big G for anything of significance, you are out to lunch.
Also lol @ this article from a few days back:

He is also a guy that makes absolutely zero sense to sign.

yeah I'm fine with Grzy if the term and contract is very minimal. But Beauvillier makes absolutely no f***ing sense.

I think you guys are insane for agonizing over Beauvillier and Gryzelcyk. So much better than giving out a 6 year deal on day 1 of FA.
This team just took a cap dump for a pick. They are not serious about contending anymore.
Its the right path, IF they actually pursue it and sell off some pieces.
