Gave up a 2nd versus giving up a first for another winger who isn't an upgrade on an existing winger.

Are we sure there isn't retention?

If we play Granlund at 3C it’s probably gonna be a disaster. Playmaking center who is gonna be passing too a bunch of trash.

You play him at wing in the top 6 and he’s not an upgrade over anybody we already have

 

[Turin]

Hextall has me hoping and praying for Tom Wilson based on a TK tweet what you doin man why

 

[TKalltheTime]

I was just thinking to myself watching that last game against the Preds wow grandlund sucks... and we'll here we are LOL

 

[Empoleon8771]

If there is 50% retention and another shoe to drop, maybe there's a way to make it work.

But in a vacuum? Woof.

I'd be fine with him at like $4 million.

Fans acting like he sucks because his JFresh chart is bad just reminds me of when everyone said Rakell sucked last year when the Penguins got him:

 

[OnMyOwn]

Yeah Hextall should be fired for this. It’s just maddeningly stupid and now we are further cap f***ed..

Of all the players I was thinking about, this one never crossed my mind and is about the worst use of cleared space I can think of.

 

[MrBurghundy]

I have no idea why they are letting Hextall do anything. He shouldn't even be employed here anymore let alone moving and acquiring players.

 

[Bishop7979]

Granlund was great last year, this year not as much. For a 2nd I'd want some cap being covered or taking cap back....

But he's was good with zucker back in the day, might move rust down, or if somehow they swing another deal move zucker down with him and maybe O'Connor since granlund can play both c and w.

But from what I remember he's a great pker so there's that.

 

[TimmyD]

We couldn’t trade first round picks for a stud defenseman, but we could trade a 2nd round pick for a guy who’s making $5 million to play third line wing. Amazing job Ron, truly amazing

 

[MrBrightside]

I'd be fine with him at like $4 million.

Fans acting like he sucks because his JFresh chart is bad just reminds me of when everyone said Rakell sucked last year when the Penguins got him:

Empoleon proving yet again that there's nothing that the Penguins can possibly do he won't defend to the death and act like we're all too dumb to see it.

 

[KrisLeturnover]

Bro...my sides

 

[OnMyOwn]

Raks chart was still infinitely better than Granlunds, haha. He’s not good and makes way too much money.

 

[Flying Dego]

There better be like 1-1.5M retention here.

 

[BusinessGoose]

I can't see Sully bumping Rust like that. Granlund has to earn it PKing getting 7mins a night, first

 

[Andy99]

No he plays RW...him and Zuck tore it up in Minny together.

So our third line will be a new HBK of Zucker-Carter-Granlund lol

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

I’m more empty after this than when Rutherford signed Jack Johnson. 48 hours of refreshing HFB every 10 seconds for two days. Sighhhhh

 

[Turin]

I'd be fine with him at like $4 million.

Fans acting like he sucks because his JFresh chart is bad just reminds me of when everyone said Rakell sucked last year when the Penguins got him:

This chart was based on three years with a big spike in the year he was acquired due to diet and conditioning. Granlund is the opposite trend.

 

[Josey Wales]

Empoleon proving yet again that there's nothing that the Penguins can possibly do he won't defend to the death and act like we're all too dumb to see it.

& you proving yet again what a shit you are

 

[Pancakes]

I'd be fine with him at like $4 million.

Fans acting like he sucks because his JFresh chart is bad just reminds me of when everyone said Rakell sucked last year when the Penguins got him:

There's a slight difference between Rakell's on ice impacts listed there and Granlund's

 

[TKalltheTime]

There better be like 1-1.5M retention here.

Don’t you mean 50% retention…

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Fun stuff. Can't wait for another however many years of watching this team struggle to make the playoffs while saying over and over to the media "We're still all-in! As long as we have Sid and Geno we are Cup contenders!"

It's like the Black Knight from Monty Python. All stumps, on the ground bleeding out. "A scratch? Your arm's off!" "No it isn't!"

 

[Pens1566]

Raks chart was still infinitely better than Granlunds, haha. He’s not good and makes way too much money.

And he filled a legit need as a top 6 W.

 

[K Fleur]

Empoleon proving yet again that there's nothing that the Penguins can possibly do he won't defend to the death and act like we're all too dumb to see it.

Meh Emp just picks his position and goes full tilt.

This place would be boring if we didn’t have people like that.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

We could’ve stopped Hextall from doing it if FSG forced him to put on paper his "plan"

Wake me up in 2030, we’re done.

 

[Darren McCord]

lol hextall sucks ass

 

[Flying Dego]

Don’t you mean 50% retention…

My standards are rock bottom here. I bet it's 0
