GDT: Golden Knights @ Pens, 7pm - Do not win 2 in a row!!!

  • Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.
  • We are currently aware of "log in/security error" issues that are affecting some users. We apologize and ask for your patience as we try to get these issues fixed.
A buyout will be brutal. Also maybe then you only explore a buyout for Graves.
Honestly Dubas probably shouldn't bother with buyouts. The Pens aren't going to contend any time soon so why bother with that shit? Do your level best to repair a player's trade value and if you still can't get rid of them then just deal with it and keep them or let them languish in the minors.

I just don't see the point right now in loading up on dead cap space.

Yeah maybe at best send Graves down to WBS if he continues to be shit for a new coach, which hopefully is a reality at the end of the season.

I think Jarry’s value can easily rebound but Graves’ won’t. Just due to the nature of the positions.
I think it could, but the team needs a coaching change badly. The defensive structure is absolute trash and just the entire way the team has played for years. A new coach with a different coaching philosophy and system would boost a lot of this team and punt the players Sullivan has over used for bizarre reasons.

The glazing continues for Sullivan by this garbage broadcast team.

I don't think his value could rebound unless and until he wins some clutch games (of which the Pens have none remaining this season). And I'm dubious he won't be the same old anti-clutch Jarry early next season when the games matter at least for a month or two.

I'm optimistic this entire f***ing team can rebound with a new coach in all areas.

I think Chiodo has to go as much as Sullivan and the other two stooges.

I could definitely see a team like the Oilers trading for Jarry if they don't win it all this season, and Jarry can go on a decent run down the stretch.
 
So someone who knows hockey was watching Graves and said, he looks great let’s get him….
Yeah I 100% believe Graves was a Sullivan pick. I don't think Dubas was with the Pens long enough to scout that option at all and just picked up whatever Sullivan wanted since he had a ton of say anyway.

Sullivan also wanted Jack Johnson.
