Confirmed with Link: Mikael Granlund for a 2nd Round pick

[Bowski]

I guess...

If Zucker walks this summer, we'll still have his BFF replacement for two more years.

Maybe Hextall has a plan to get a competent 3C, create HBK 2.0, and finally send Big JC into the sun.
Then again, maybe he just woke up bats**it crazy again without his pills.

I don’t know what’s worse. This trade, or the indifference I felt when I saw it. Have had a really hard time getting excited about this iteration of the Pens.

Certainly hoping for more with $5M in cap space……..

 

[PensandCaps]

It's odd to move so much cap and this is likely the most they'll move maybe. I mean this can't be it right? I like MG but knowing how he'll be used kind of is a bummer.


Tell me you know nothing about the player without telling me...

lol huh? nothing i said is wrong.

 

[Ryder71]

Hey Hexy, f*** you you f***ing loser.

Tell us how you really feel?

 

[Gurglesons]

He has a decent playoff showing... Intangibles...

Huh? He’s been awful in the playoffs.

 

[Ryder71]

Huh? He’s been awful in the playoffs.

Nah, you just don't like the move and r throwing s*** off the wall. He has 32 points in 59 games and I believe has eight or nine points over his last 13 playoff games. That's not exactly horrible.

I think @Tacitus Kilgore is the type of bloke that takes 8hr power naps

Jussi Jokinen?

Juice was decent defensively. I think he even PKed well iirc

 

[Ugene Magic]

Huh? He’s been awful in the playoffs.

I know it's kind of not all in one kind of good, but he's not TB kind of bad.

59 games with 11-21-32. That's not bad and he has some experience.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

It rocks how like the Rangers for example are already much better than us, and they got Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane, and we got Mikael Granlund

 

[Jacob]

Scratching Jussi over Gladams when he was a PPG player after the deadline is the #1 most egregious thing Bylsma ever did.

Idk I think it's tied with playing Iggy on his off wing

I don't think Hextall had in mind to make moves like them, he knows we are gonna fall on our asses so he did something to help Zucker out.

 

[DesertPenguin]

And this is how the Crosby Era ends not with a bang, but with a wet fart.

Juice was a solid 2way player that was more of a goal scorer than Granlund. Not as quick as MG either.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Granlund is a better and younger 3C than Carter. Scored 64 points last year. Value is okay...but this can't be the big move, can it?

At 50%, it be stoked. At full 5m, blah

 

[HuskerTornado]

Granlund? In 2023? f***ing serious?

 

[dogthateats]

People might be overreacting on here

 

[DesertPenguin]

It's a little hard to see where "salary out" would come from in a subsequent trade, since the entire roster has NTCs.
Pettersson? (But he's important at this time so not sure).

Dumoulin

 

[farscape1]

Considering we might not even make the playoffs and if we do we probably get swept, so how does adding $5M for 2 more years help us? Kinda alot for a 3rd line player and will he play Center so Carter will play Wing? Would not be shocked if Hextall signs Zucker now to a long term contract.

Yea, no comparable is ever perfect. Offensive players that are this pass heavy are pretty rare so it’s hard to think of another fair comparable.

 

[Lara Emily]

I don't think Granlund has negative value.

Not yet

He will before his contract is up.

He's making 5 million and is here for 2 seasons, and is on the decline

Granlunds numbers at ES is only a little better than Kapanen over the past few years, despite Granlund getting easy shifts, higher ice time and being put in situations to succeed. Granlund is also one of the softest players in the league and doesn't play defence. He's a capdump that's declining

The window has been slammed shut dude it sucks
