Blue was one of my favorite Pens. Good luck to him in Vegas.

Yeah everyone was rooting for him. Oh well.

 

[Gurglesons]

Tyler Myers to PIT

 

[DeadPuckEra]

Crosby 36 next season, Letang 36, Malkin 37.

It’s not happening lol If these guys want to ride off together, would love to see it. Would not love seeing constant attempts to find them pieces to “help them” via trading draft picks.

I mean, weren’t we all assuming this when Hextall was hired. He is a rebuild guy. I think he’s been told to keep the team competitive, which translates to mediocre. And do his thing behind the scenes - unfortunately for him - he will take the brunt of peoples frustration because they expect going for a cup every year - because we owe people or something.

 

[Josey Wales]

Hextall shouldn’t see the end of this season as our GM if he doesn’t pull off a miracle. Get an interim GM in there.

Take some time off

 

[Darren McCord]

How close are we to being able to fit him with no salary back? Feels like we’re clearing a lot of space

I feel like we could do it now but you know they cant now lol

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Tyler Myers to PIT

Joking? Why would you do that?

 

[Flying Dego]

To be fair, they did just sell Blueger

And Caggs is no worse than this version of Blueger so...

Lol damn.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

OK Hextall I see you!

Let's goo

Anyone claim McGinn yet?

Not sure if you're joking but no, he cleared.
The only hope now is they package him somewhere for a sweetener.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

In a world where Blueger gets you a 3rd, Zucker (50% retained) gets you a 1st and Dumo (50% retained) might as well, if not, definitely a 2nd imo. Still don't believe a team that runs Puustinen-Geno-Rust and Petts-Letang in place of the roles those two fill is so much worse they miss the playoffs. And if they do, whatever.

Yes, yes. I realize it won't happen. And that's why this team's gonna turn like a 5-6 year rebuild into like a 10+ year rebuild. They won't sell, they can't buy, so stand pat, and scratch Carter until he retires this summer.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

If it’s Myers I’m going to bed until 2031.

 

[Turin]

They could have done it with McGinn reassigned to WBS. This Teddy trade makes it worse

If it’s Myers I’m going to bed until 2031.

Imagine

At least he is a big ole boy...

If they could heist two 1sts for Dumo and Zucker. I'd do it hands down.

Then you'd have 3 1sts to toss around or move up in the draft etc.

 

[Darren McCord]

It turns out that Smith is out week to week, so I don't know that they'd be comfortable with trading POJ or Pettersson right now. I'm honestly not sure what a Vancouver deal would look like.

The Penguins have cap space but I don't know what assets they'd be using or who they'd be targeting.

Neither does hextall. He is just throwing darts at boards now.

Burke wants size and Myers is 7 feet of nothing soo..

 

[Bishop7979]

Yeah but O'Connor can play center and technically so can heinen, so bring up a quality winger instead of cags...

 

[dogthateats]

We are trading a 1st for Zohorna

 

[AuroraBorealis]

 

[Flying Dego]

He wants a girl with a short skirt and a real lonnnnggg jacket.

I'm not sure McGinn is what anyone calls a "sweetener"

 

[Ugene Magic]

Blue was one of my favorite Pens. Good luck to him in Vegas.

He was good until the overrating begun...

 

[SaucyCelly]

Henrique for a 2nd and 3rd?

 

[Empoleon8771]

I sadly don't think they're going to be selling either Zucker or Dumoulin at the deadline. Zucker's a very important player in their top-6 and they still probably have delusions of contending. Dumoulin is probably both partially that and also having a week to week injury with Ty Smith leaving them with questionable D depth. They're only 8 healthy defensemen deep right now, and trading Dumoulin for futures would turn that into 7.

 

[Flying Dego]

NOOOOO. Please not us.
