This is not tanking. This is just being a bad hockey team better yet a bad team management and franchise. A true hockey fan can somewhat get behind a team that is rebuilding and losing because we have a young team and is stacking up talent. What this team is doing is trying to build a contender and is failing miserablyWe're gonna be tanking for that kid in '26 aren't we?
Novak did almost all his production 5v5 as well... Bunting has more power play points than even strength.OK, I looked over buntings stats, contract, and physical measurements
I still don’t see why he’s an upgrade to Novak
Right we're already 30th and the seasons over. Novak is decent but not exactly a top 6er on a contender.I don’t get it? It’s just one season, I don’t get the nightmare title
And it’s one thing if a team has no assets, you guys got players you can sell if it comes to that next year
Contender?Right we're already 30th and the seasons over. Novak is decent but not exactly a top 6er on a contender.
I'm guessing that PIT wants to stock up on draft picks and realized that an injured Bunting wasn't worth much to a playoff team, so they found a non-playoff team that would take him and a pick for two players who would have value to playoff teams. I won't be surprised if Dubas now flips both of them and gets back more than Trotz got.
Trotz does seem to swing between, "I want a Jeannot type deal for my guy" to realizing he isn't going to get an entire draft class for his guy and just taking whatever bag of wet spaghetti he gets handed.I'm guessing that PIT wants to stock up on draft picks and realized that an injured Bunting wasn't worth much to a playoff team, so they found a non-playoff team that would take him and a pick for two players who would have value to playoff teams.

That's what I almost said to you earlier when you were talking about food coming out both ends while I was trying to eat a late dinner.You are not helping
I’ve seen worse child I’ve seen much worseThat's what I almost said to you when you were talking earlier about your food coming out both ends while I was trying to eat a late dinner.
Here’s the Novak replacement.
