This is why so many people are made at Hextall. He waited to long and just sat on his hands.

Again, Hextall is a rebuild guy. He’s more interested in what’s going on in junior hockey than he is pro hockey. I think he’s been told to stand pat as much as possible - but start the process. They’ve admitted as much when he was hired. Everyone is going to hate the guy, because they think he’s “sleeping” when really he’s just doing the organization justice by not focusing on this pipe dream of more cups - at the expense of this organizations well-being 5-10 years down the road. Hextall knew he would be the bad guy before he even went into the interview. He’s good with it, so will you when we have a soft transition from the Crosby Era to whatever comes next. As opposed to something resembling the Pirates for a decade. Due to sending draft picks out the door to support 37 year old players.

Maybe they are loading up on assets to get that Chychrun guy from Ottawa?

"Ron Hextall keeps freeing up salaries to give himself more cap space to make a trade. A significant transaction involving the Pens is expected by 3PM on Friday."

Yeah that's basically what Google Translate had so that's what I figured.

If Hextall is going after a significant trade, this just makes me think more and more that something is going to go down with Vancouver.

It’s gonna be shitty ass 99 points ass jt ass miller

A french reporter who has some good connection.
Always first to know when a frenchy player is traded.
He said that hextall is clearing space and that a BIG TRADE is coming till friday 15pm.

Seeing eyssimont go in the namestnikov trade ... everytime I saw eyssimont play late in the season I saw a guy I'd love on our 4th line. Quick, aggressive, some skill, hit anything that moved, plays c/w. Him on lw across from Archie would not have been a bad cheap 4th line.

How do I listen to a HFboards post? Are there audio books?

God, that's a million dollar product right there.

Have to make it rated "NSFW"

And I'd be fine with that if they actually sold all available assets off. Blueger's a start, but if the organization and Hextall truly want to stockpile for the future then get rid of Zucker, Dumoulin, etc. Don't just half-ass it.

Just go to your local downtown and find a schizophrenic homeless man. His words are our words.

I mean, I think even that is expecting too much of this org.

Considering Burke's "we're not paying these prices" comment, I'd bet they're content to add some shitty 4th liner for a 5th and call it a day.

And I'd be ok with that.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'm not even sure Hextall is a rebuild guy, tbh.

This team's big move(s) is gonna end up being some shit like Garland or JVR, Bjugstad and Kulikov.

 

[Pens x]

Fire Hextall

 

[Flying Dego]

You know. The Pens ship may be taking on water at a rapid rate but I'm glad to share my team depression with you lot of deranged lunatics.

 

[Bishop7979]

Ron hextall: I'm not happy with how the 3rd line is constructed.

Everyone else: bitch, you are single handily responsible for putting them together!

 

[Pens x]

And I'd be ok with that.

You either go for another run or sell off all pieces. This whole mehhhh, I’ll just hang out approach is the worst possible situation.

 

[Empoleon8771]

It's going to be one of Miller, Boeser or Garland to the Penguins. Absolutely confident it's one of those.

“We are clearing cap space to help offset the ending of our sellout streak”

 

[Josey Wales]

Ron Hextall keeps freeing up salaries to give himself more space under the salary cap to trade. A large transaction involving the @Penguins is expected by 3:00 p.m. Friday.

I want Miller. Go full on.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Beauvillier, Boeser or Miller would be ok. Miller and Boeser need retention bad to stomach though.
