GDT: Free Agency: Dr Strangedubas or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nerd

[Gurglesons]

I have to question someone that watches this team and thinks it’s advantageous to acquire EK. Makes literally no sense and caps us out of improving other areas.

 

[Jobeycool]

Has anyone on the TSN panel said anything about EK (since that original Lebrun thing) ? Seems like the Pens media is just making shit up as usual

Looks like they got orders not to say anymore about it?

 

[chethejet]

You come here as President and actually GM and your working on a high cost RD who had one good year in 5 and will tie up 8 million in cap space while you have Letang and Petry on a 2 year term that fits the time frame for the Pens playoff drive. If that is your move Hello Pirates. Can't take anymore of these incredibly stupid moves.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Letang, Karlsson.

Damn they’re trying hard to make me bi-curious.

YEAH SURE

It’s weird how “getting younger” means actually adding age on Archibald and Zucker and then moving Petry for a 33 year old.

EK would instantly improv our transition and pp. Two facets of our game that were sorely lacking last year. You live with the poor defensive play because those two benefits should outweight that. These are the type of big swings you have to make to have any chance in the last gasp of the Crosby Malkin era. If it doesn't work out, oh well. At least you tried rather than just tread water being mediocre.

Letang, Karlsson.

Damn they’re trying hard to make me bi-curious.

I was gonna say, “how can anyone not wanna have the two sexiest long-haired defensemen in the league?”

It makes semi-sense if a ton of deadweight goes the other direction.

But this team doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell anyway, EK or not, so I don't really give a shit.

Cool… go watch the team who sucks with the owner who won’t spend money to put a winning product on the field then. You won’t be missed

 

[Ugene Magic]

Pickering is no fatso like Despres.

The stupidity comes with the expectation that Dubas or anybody else could undo half a decade of JR and Hextall's moves in one off season, or that this team is anywhere near a contender anymore. /shrug

Karlsson ain't fixing shit, but he'll be fun, and this team's been playing boring, slopshit hockey for years. Winning ain't in the cards, so make it fun to watch--that's all I care about.

 

[Jobeycool]

YEAH SURE

Who knows for sure..

Got some bad news for you. Based on our roster, we gonna suck.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Going to need a WALK OFF....

 

[HandshakeLine]

Yeah, I think this roster's idea of a deep run is to go 3 games until an OT loss.

 

[TimmyD]

Got some bad news for you. Based on our roster, we gonna suck.

I didn’t realize our roster was finalized at 3:10 pm on Saturday July 1st

 

[66-30-33]

Letang, Karlsson.

Damn they’re trying hard to make me bi-curious.

You’ll have to change your name to Kristopher Karlsson using mid journey to morph the 2 faces together.

 

[Josey Wales]

Who knows for sure..

You surely don't

 

[Turin]

How will a good transition and PP help our team with no bottom-6 or goalie?

What exactly we moving in a trade at this point lol

Someone hasn't watched us in the last 6 years.... : )

Dude this team was FINISHED as soon as the Pens lost out on JVR

 

[Jobeycool]

You surely don't

If they get Karlson they are not done adding... They will add to the bottom 6 some more.. Good Greif !!
