Zucker Malkin Granlund
DOC Carter Rust

Maybe DOC and Rust can bring enough speed to prop Carter up a bit.

In that instance I'd rather have poehling between O'Connor and rust.....

 

[Empoleon8771]

Zucker-G-Granlund
Heinen-Carter-Rust

Lol

This probably is the best thing you can run with right now, as sad as that sounds.

 

[Pancakes]

*vomits even more*

at this point, go for it. it'd be something new and stupid

do it Ron

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Zucker Geno Granlund somehow being stellar is the ONLY way this comes out a positive.

It's adorable that we're all trying to reconcile within ourselves that Rust is gonna be demoted to the 3rd line with Sully behind the bench. You're more likely to see some dumb shit like GCRust, Zucker-Granlund-Geno, Heinen-Carter-Rakell as the top-9, imo.

 

[K Fleur]

All these new line combos you guys are posting are still ass

 

[Flying Dego]

This probably is the best thing you can run with right now, as sad as that sounds.

It's absolutely it unfortunately. But Sully putting Rust on line 3?

 

[Jobeycool]

Worst ever trade deadline in the history of all trade deadlines lol... END with a BIG SPLAAT right in our faces lol..

Zucker Granlund Heinen as a third line? Carter down the ladder? I am trying.

 

[Darren McCord]

at this point, go for it. it'd be something new and stupid

the defense would be horrendous

 

[AuroraBorealis]

So, without any further moves, we're looking at the following up front

Guentzel-Crosby-Rakell
Zucker-Malkin-Rust
Heinen-Granlund-Carter
DOC-Poehling-Archibald
Caggiula

The names are different at center, but it's not any better.

Isn't Poehling hurt? Are we going with 7D tomorrow?

Who's 2LW?

 

[Bishop7979]

The last cerebral, slow-skating, pass-first LW/C Finn we had meshed really well with Malkin, so maybe things could work out well here for Granlund?

Still don't like this Cap allocation tho.

Unless something has changed granlund isn't slow, he has at least that going for him





So did koltzov, kap, fata....

 

[Empoleon8771]

I can't even imagine how the Penguins can add another top-6 forward at this point. What is your defense going to be next year? Are you just going to play Friedman and Ruhwedel everyday or something?

 

[Darren McCord]

Drake Cagguila

 

[Turin]

I am just holding out hope that he is someone Vancouver wants.

I am holding out hope that the Pens are gonna trade for Tom Wilson because TK is friends with his brother or something.

This forward mix is maddening. A non goal scoring perimeter passer who has declined badly defensively is just what

My first laugh since "G" day broke. Thank you

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

the defense would be horrendous

They're not that good now.

 

[Freeptop]

Granlund isn’t a bottom six player.

Doesn't matter, because if Granlund is playing in the top six, that just pushes a different 30+ year old player with a $5M or greater cap hit to the bottom six.

 

[Pancakes]

the defense would be horrendous

it already is

cause some chaos Ron. do something fun. you already shat on the team. take another shit

 

[Darren McCord]

The only way this makes sense is if Rust or Zucker is gone next somehow

 

[Harvey Birdman]

I’m fully convinced Hex is a Philly double agent sent to destroy us now.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Worst ever trade deadline in the history of all trade deadlines lol... END with a BIG SPLAAT right in our faces lol..

The Penguins traded Simon Despres for Ben Lovejoy at the trade deadline one day. Nothing will be worse than that.

 

[TKalltheTime]

at this point, go for it. it'd be something new and stupid

do it Ron

Grandlund wasn’t stupid enough for you? Kris LeTang is that you?! Ha
