[Dipsy Doodle]

GMs who are obsessed with getting extra years from mediocre players making good money are losing the plot.

Zuck? Kap? Granlund?

Wouldn't it be better to spend those futures on players who are actually good, even if they're impending UFAs?

 

[Trade]

It’s okay everyone, Tom Wilson will be a Penguin within 24 hours.

In Ron We Trust

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

Thank God Crosby and Malkin got their Cups and secured their legacies.

 

[KrisLeturnover]

Let it end

 

[TNT87]

How the hell don't you get any salary retention on this trade? Ridiculous.

Agreed but Zucker and Kapanen at least made some semblance of sense on paper. This Granlund move is coco bananas. He doesn't solve any of our problems and just eats up precious cap space for 2 more years. Hextall is such a little wanker.

Hextall has CTE. Burke is drunk. FSG already forgot they own the Pens.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

According to Hextall there’s only a 1M difference in value between Malkin and Granlund.

What a genius!

There’s literally no other explanation for how he operates.

 

[Ryder71]

We waived Kap and McGinn. Traded blue.
To get this guy????

I seriously doubt this is the only move the penguins are going to make. But if it helps bolster the bottom six so be it. Honestly I'm rather indifferent about this move, I don't think it's the end of the world like a lot of you guys. And I'm one who would rather we hold on to our pics.

 

[Terrapin]

Who in the hell is running this organization? Is Burke still lurking around? How in the actual f*** did we manage to get softer and older? I agree with the others, Hextall is a plant sent to destroy this organization once and for all

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

I can't believe we spent a week carefully clearing cap for...this. Fire this clown asap

I'd kill to get Tom Wilson. But there is zero chance. Sullivan would curl up in the fetal position and cry

 

[Trade]

Granlund at 50% could be a very interesting utility player. 5 million is f***in wild

Caps would likely never trade him to us no matter what anyways lol.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Ron Hextall is a god damn idiot. That is what you use the cap space you created on? Jesus f***ing Christ...

 

[Epic Neal Time]

Just get a goddamn rental. Holy christ.

 

[dogthateats]

I kind of like it lol.

He's not bad, it's just not a fit. And we didn't spend a lot, but this continues just to look like a 1st round exit.

Rather have just not added and just traded Zucker for a 1st or 2nd. And maybe hope to sign him back in the offseason.

I feel like we may as well miss the playoffs and hope for a lottery win. I don't really want to live in mediocrity.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I’d rather have JR back

 

[Coastal Kev]

This is funny because he made one of the dumbest plays that I have ever seen a Center make while leading a rush against us the other night. Even the Preds announcers stated... WTF

who cares........... waste everything!!

Granlund goes from Minnesota to Nashville to Pens. Makes sense. All teams who live in mediocrity .
