[Kristopher Letang]

Poulin doesn’t need a change of scenary… where did you get that from?

I think the idea was "Kravtsov needs a change of scenery, trade him to Pit for their best prospect and a 2nd". Not that Poulin needs a change of scenery.

I did not realize Poulin was your best prospect, that is kinda sad.

I think you will eventually realize you made a mistake when Kravtsov turns into Buchnevich and Poulin into Blais.

so why did you even offer for Poulin?

for change of scenery...

you don't get to shit talk one side of it after making an offer for it. it doesn't seem genuine at that point.

I am not, I still want Poulin, I wanted him that draft year. If Rangers didn't win the lottery he was the guy I wanted.

Even if his ceiling is that of Blais?

Sure, Blais's ceiling is what 50 points?

Blais QMJHL points per game 1.17
Pouilin QMJHL points per game 1.19

And in AHL and NHL Blais was way more productive so far.

At 26, 5 seasons in, I don't think his ceiling is 50pts. Maybe 30. Maybe.

And...dude...Poulin is 21 with 3 NHL games under his belt.

I'm not totally sure what to even make of your post. Are you arguing for or against Poulin? And this is a guy you want? What are you even arguing here?

Poulin is struggling to score in AHL, not sure his ceiling is much higher than Blais's was 5 year ago.

If you want Pens to add a 2nd to the trade - you're getting back Kapanen. Kravtsov alone is hardly worth a 2nd, considering Rangers development of said player has been kinda sad so far.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

adding a 2nd? No thank you!

 

[SEALBound]

Poulin is struggling to score in AHL, not sure his ceiling is much higher than Blais's was 5 year ago.

Then why do you want him?

Penguins fans seem pretty okay keeping him. I don't think we really "care" what his AHL production is. He looked good when he played the 3 games here.

Again, I don't think Kravtsov is worth a 2nd, let alone adding Poulin. I'm not even sure I do the 1:1 swap given that Poulin can play center or wing.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I love when trade proposals on this site turn into the OP shit talking the players he wanted because fans said no to the proposal.

Where in the world are you getting a 50 point ceiling for Blais? He’s never had more than 15 in a season and he has bad knees. That’s ridiculous

15 points in 36 games as a bottom 6. I think 50 points is a legit ceiling for him, used to be point per game player in AHL at some point.

and Kravtsov says hi:

 

[PensandCaps]

nothing yet in NHL, but if you don't play skilled players with other skilled players you are just setting them up for failure. What did Guentzel or Rust do to be given icetime with Crosby and Malkin right away?

Guentzel lit up the AHL, and Rust certainly started out on line 4.
