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

Forgot about that one...awful..

They won a cup still after that. This team isnt sniffing a 2nd round

 

[Pancakes]

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?

At this point I want max chaos. I say go for it

No this is way worse. We effectively f***ed our cap situation for the entirety of the Sid and Geno era for Mikael Granlund and paid to do it.

 

[penguinsnomad]

Unless this is some weird move to set up something else, I think it's a really bad play. Standing pat would have been better.

I keep circling back to how handcuffed we are by Carter's NMC and seniority.

 

[Nakawick]

Who's 2LW?

Someone new

 

[StaalForOne]

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

Thats just what I'm expectig, not a preference per say. At this point we're kidding ourselves if we don't think Carter will be 3C (barring further trades), so might as well give him some guys who can wheel and forecheck.

Oh god. I had put that out of my head. Thanks. Jerk.

 

[IcedCapp]

so uh, i had to finish up basketball practice and then drive home... and while i was gone, Hextall went house-to-house and shit in all of our beds?

 

[Flying Dego]

Someone new

With what money?

We offloaded anyone they could. The rest are immovable haha

 

[Jobeycool]

F*** off

Drake Cagguila

I got a nickname for him Count Dragguila..

 

[Gurglesons]

Hypothetically we could move Dumoulin or Zucker.

Not beds… MOUTHS

 

[Darren McCord]

Now move Zucker for a 1rst at 50% so we can truly be the softest team in the league

 

[Turin]

At least then you’re picking a lane and trying to get some sort of advantage haha

 

[Son Goku]

I just f***ing give up at this point f*** it. They clearly don't care anymore so why should I?

 

[Ugene Magic]

Actually, that was a safe D-man who committed very few penalties for a new comer not getting any favors from the refs.

You'll get some shitty middle-6 winger making $5 million AAV for two more years who is only good for like 45pts, and some pink eye, and you'll f***ing be happy about it.

 

[Flying Dego]

Clearly Hex sees the Zucker Granlund as the last effort to success.

He'd have to take up Dumo with Sully

 

[TKalltheTime]

I still can’t stop laughing at the beans that were paid for Cheech and then Hextall pays that price for a turd like Grandlund LOL classic

 

[Andy99]

Heinen scored 15 goals at even strength last year. DOC is also showing some dangerous(ly good) speed right now.

If this buries or scratches Carter, it's worth it. I know Granlund's WAR or whatever is worse but there is no chance the 31 year old has fallen off like the 38 year old.

It won’t lol…your new soft, slow third line is going to be Heinen-Granlund-Carter…complete lack of finish and terrible defensively…ye haw

 

[Pancakes]

At least then you’re picking a lane and trying to get some sort of advantage haha

yep. Do some wild shit. Maybe it shakes up the team. I dunno

Unless you believe this modest three game winning streak is the start of something more lol

 

[Gurglesons]

It’s comical that we have that many wingers locked in at 5 mil.

 

[K Fleur]

Atleast it wasn’t Tyler Myers.

 

[Pens x]

I guess you can cancel the yay sleepy parade that was being planned last night because he finally did something, when it was announced McGinn was waived.

All that for this…

Thanks for wasting the last two seasons, Hextall. You are a piece of trash that has no business working as a GM. But this was known to everyone outside of Pittsburgh before he was hired here. I’m not sure why it took so long for people to wake up on this site.

Why is he still here????
