Speculation: Letang: Is he traded and/or Does he chase?

[Sidney the Kidney]

Letang to me is just rolling the dice on ltir at this point. But maybe the new coaching staff will finally manage his minutes and make him useful.

Pretty much this. Hopefully the new coaching staff plays him minutes more suited to his current age and ability instead of playing him like he's still prime Letang.

I think a Letang getting 19-20 minutes per night can still be effective. Letang being played like a legitimate #1D getting 24+ minutes per night is a disaster.

Kuznetsov goal iirc.

-edit- Checked, nope. That one looked like he was going for a change and got burnt.

Definitely remember the one you're talking about though.

Not this one?

Kris Letang's untimely misadventures cost the Penguins Game 5 in Washington

WASHINGTON — For reasons that aren’t particularly clear, Kris Letang abruptly departed his side of the ice while the Penguins were defending a one-goal lead the third period of Game 5 at Capital One Arena on Saturday. The series, and Penguins-Capitals history, may never be quite the...

“I thought ‘Dumo’ was gapping up,” Letang said. “I thought ‘Ovi’ was stretching behind. I kept him to make sure he didn’t get the puck and it opened up the middle.”

Lol blames dumo too

I think despite how much some people around here hate him, he's also a good influence for young players.

He's got a stronger work ethic than Sid in some ways, he seems like he's a chill dude with his team mates based on POJ and Pickering's comments on him, and he's still an NHLer even if his game has eroded the most out of the big 3.

If he wants to go just like Sid, I'm fine with it, but I wouldn't like force him out.

Turns out there was multiple Kutznetsov goals Letang made a terrible play on. Huh, who'd have thought.


This is the one that popped into my mind as well.

Thanks, this is the one I was thinking of.

I don't remember any of those goals because the 2018 playoffs never happened, which is kind of sad.

Did I miss some news since I last logged on?

He’s a guy that’s going to have to be forced to retire, whether it be by the team, his family or injuries. We just need to hope he can rebound under a new coach.

I can see him being traded but he needs the bounce back first.

Letang retire?

Maybe the 3rd stroke and the second bout with dropsy will make him see the light?
