Tyler Kennedy tweeted it for shits and giggles.

Thx

There are things we could move, but I don't think Hextall is bold enough to do so. So you're probably right.

does this mean that we are back to where we can't bring up the kids?

 

[66-30-33]

Think about how much cap space was at a premium this summer.

And the Pens take on a multi year cap dump at the deadline for a pick.

I still don't get...why are you not asking for 50% retention? he has sucked this year and Nashville is retooling. Granlund at 2.5M is much better. I'm so so so lost about this trade for that 1 reason. I can see why it happened but ask for 50% retention. If Zucker-Granlund work out I am assuming Pens re-sign Zucker.

Time is a flat circle

.... Why do I have a sudden fear that Jake will be traded?

Jake for Miller. Huh it actually fits.

Ok now you’re getting a little zany for me.

The deal makes no sense.

I hate children so f*** them

 

[DeadPuckEra]

I wonder if Sid would ever want to go compete for a cup somewhere in the next year or two.

 

[Tender Rip]

That’s just about the most stupid move we could make… so expect it.

I think it will be the right move actually, certainly if Guentzel does not get back to being that little "zero fear" high intensity player he was when he came up, and that doesn't look likely .

Just a shame that it will likely be more by necessity than design when he is traded.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Keep seeing “Wilson” mentioned here. Tom Wilson? How would that ever be a thing?

It's not and idk why people keep mentioning it.

 

[66-30-33]

The deal makes no sense.

I understand why it happened, the Zucker-Granlund connection but getting him at full value makes no sense at all. I'll wait to see how they all play together first but I guess we are getting someone like Henrique next to play 3C.

 

[Turin]

It's not and idk why people keep mentioning it.

Because this deal is so bad Tyler Kennedy drunk tweeting is all we have to hang our hope on

 

[66-30-33]

We also got a third for a guy who was a piece of s*** this season. And had one goal in what 23 Games 33 games?

He's set to be UFA too, Granlund not so much.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Unless we acquire JT miller to play on Geno's wing and bump Zucker down to L3 to play with Granlund at 3C, this is pee pee poo poo

And seeing as that we cannot afford anyone now, let alone Miller. This is ass

 

[3ladesof5teel]

If we grabbed Granlund and someone else I could understand it and would have stomached it much better Granlund is a good hockey player and I think he will be much better here but he's not what we need.

I just don't understand the move especially without retention. It really handcuffs bringing anyone of significance in on top of it and that 5 mil tied up into him next year.

Just a really confusing move.

 

[Gurglesons]

I mean from an asset stand point we basically moved Blueger for Granlund. Which if your assignment is to not give up any long term assets for a rebuild is okay work I guess?

 

[Pens x]

Mr. Patient slept too long.

 

[Jobeycool]

Tyler Kennedy is probably mad at the weird trade also.. So he sent out a signal need more big hitter and checkers.lol

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Probably too superstitious to put on another jersey tbh. Crosby is gonna die a Penguin, as he should.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Wasn't really sure what to expect when Hextall took over. But with Burke coming in, I expected the team to at least get the slightest bit tougher and harder to play against.

We're about as soft as the Habs have been since the lockout


Edit: Rutta and Petry are a wash, with how the bottom 6 is built

 

[Ryder71]

Exactly, we got a quality player with term. And for this core 31 is pretty young. Again I don't like the cap hit, but I don't look at him as a cap dump that's just crazy. He's a good player a little overpriced but a good player nonetheless.

Granlund and Jenner.

Rather went the route the Caps did and trade their UFAs for picks and moved them in a trade and got younger tbh, seemed like a pretty good move.

Blueger to Granlund is a pretty large upgrade but the extra 2.8 mil is what stings. I don't think he is what we needed and it seems like most everyone agrees.

This is my biggest frustration. We’ve somehow gotten smaller and weaker.
