LeBrun: Guentzel: Pens want prospects over picks - Carolina favorite

[domaug]

WTF is Dubas doing lol bunting is 29 unless it’s for cap relations

gotta be IMO

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Fully expect it to be a weaker (fair) return if CAR is the destination.

 

[BKarchitect]

Morrow, Bunting and a 1st?

 

[PuckFather]

Trade for Holl while you're at it Dubas!

I will admit, I'm really concerned that Dubas sees actual value in Bunting and he's not just being included for cap reasons.

Carolina had the cap space to trade for Guentzel without including Bunting.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Yup, this will be Carolina.

I'm glad JR stuck to his guns.

 

[Ugene Magic]

What does 28 year old Bunting do for the Pens?

Dubas needs players with this core. Bunting is a player on a decent cap hit.

 

[mouser]

Doubt anything is imminent, bet the three Canes who were waived today have to clear before any trade can be made.

23 Players on the active roster wouldn’t be an issue, so long as they have the available cap space to add a 24th player. Canes can have the new player on Non-Roster for a day before reporting to the team tomorrow.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Didn't fit in Carolina?

Not good. Not bad. Just meh.

Why?

Cap considerations?

Lmao

Trade for Holl while you're at it Dubas!

Matt Murray too

 

[SEALBound]

Morrow, Bunting and a 1st?

This is my guess.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Why?


Cap considerations?

If you ignore the trades they've lost, Carolina has never lost a trade

 

[My3Sons]

Carolina actually making an effort to go for it? Good for them and their fans. This is a good season to make a run. There is no obvious super team.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Bunting gives them a much cheaper cost controlled player that the Penguins FO can then turn around and say “hey we at least tried to get a top 6 winger for the final Crosby years”.

About the only thing that makes sense.

 

[K Fleur]

Lol could have just signed Bunting this past offseason Doobler

Good on Carolina getting out of that deal

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I will admit, I'm really concerned that Dubas sees actual value in Bunting and he's not just being included for cap reasons.

Carolina had the cap space to trade for Guentzel without including Bunting.

Bunting held his own offensively here at the rate that we paid him. He's not a typical cap dump for that reason alone.

 

[JimmyG89]

And you thought you were Kakko lmao. You got Dubas's boy who only worked with Matthews and Marner.

 

[newsportsfan123]

This is my guess.

As much as I hate for Morrow to go that's not that bad of a deal. I think Morrow will be a top-4 defenseman and has the potential to be an elite defenseman. It's also not as bad because this draft is stacked on defensemen, so if you draft well you could potentially replace him.

 

[SML2]

Why does it seem like Carolina has the ability to carry 19 forwards on their roster at all times?

Florida looks pretty good

Why would I ignore that?

The player that got away from him in Toronto

 

[Empoleon8771]

He should have no value to the Penguins. I'd be extremely upset with Dubas if he sunk some of Guentzel's value to get a 29 year old middle-6 winger.

And you thought you were Kakko lmao. You got Dubas's boy who only worked with Matthews and Marner.

Kakko sucks
