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

[Trade]

Lars Eller is gonna be Sully’s new favorite toy

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Nieto also PKs

Yeah, but poorly. I'd rather use Rust there or even Granlund there.

 

[pensfan71]

WOW someone asked EK65

 

[SomeDude]

And, it seems like you probably could have just payed Zucker 1 yr 5mil anyway? Save a 3rd.

Hey now, with that logic you might not tie the franchise to a 5 year anchor Tristan Jarry contract

 

[Turin]

Hopefully he's posturing with this and the BS he's feeding us about Granlund

I mean we know pretty confidently from multiple sources that he tried to trade him, so hes really not unconditionally a big part of the team lol.

 

[Jobeycool]

They are already bringing back Deangelo, no idea how they can afford it or have a spot for him.

Whelp maybe Pens. Kraken

 

[Icarium]

Yes, I'm a "fan boy" for actually being able to use logic instead of being hyper reactionary.

Ah, yes the logic of "there were no better options because I say so".

 

[PensandCaps]

The only thing i like is Graves in, Dumo out. Huge hughe upgrade.

Acciari is a huge improvement on Carter atleast.

Don't think going from Poehling with speed and potential, to old Eller on the decline, and more expensive was any semblance of savvy.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

"I can't believe they're gonna disrespect Sid, Geno and Letang in their final years" as if those three aren't acutely aware this team's cooked.

Dubas confirms they were in serious talks for EK65. Says it was a group thing between Dubas and the coaches to get into discussions. Won't get into specifics because there are other names not public.

 

[WickedWrister]

Dubas admitting he looked into EK65

 

[pensfan71]

Idk what to make of that answer outside of maybe "he may not fit in the room"

 

[Turin]

Dubas admitting he looked into EK65

Well keep looking you goof

 

[Empoleon8771]

Ah, yes the logic of "there were no better options because I say so".

You mean actually being able to critically evaluate things instead of just bitching and moaning?

Who are these better options than Jarry that the Penguins decided to not bring in?

 

[Pens x]

So we're likely looking at...

Guentzel-Crosby-Rakell
Smith-Malkin-Rust
Nieto-Eller-Granlund
O'Connor-Acciari-Carter
(Nylander)

Graves-Letang
Pettersson-Petry
Joseph-Ruutta
(Smith)

Jarry
Desmith
(Nedelkovic...?)

So basically, our bottom six still sucks. That third line is gross.

 

[PensandCaps]

Hey now, with that logic you might not tie the franchise to a 5 year anchor Tristan Jarry contract

Bunting, Nyquist, Tatar probably will aswell, went for cheap. Less than Smith too.

Maybe he isn't so smart lol.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Hopefully he's posturing with this and the BS he's feeding us about Granlund

I could accept everything else... but that? f*** Jeff Petry.

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

Man Eller for 2.4 and Duchene for 3... Just don't get it. Find someone else to pk.

 

[Pens x]

I think you gotta wait until the end of the off season before you can say there were no other options.

 

[canadianguy77]

Sullivan has way too much say over this roster. Dude is seriously stuck in the 90s.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Lmaoo Rossi getting clowned again.

 

[MrBrightside]

 

[Andy99]

Dubas says Eller is gonna be 3C. Dont see that working at all

Would have been a great 3C option in 2018 along w Granlund circa 2018 lol

 

[etm124]

Rossi boom roasted.

 

[BHD]

I absolutely love how the Isles are keeping that mediocre roster together

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

I think we're getting EK
