Literally everyone? They had 73 points in 82 games last year. They did improve in the off-season, but the expectation was still that this was a growing year for them. They're pretty much exactly at where people expected them to be.

Yep rebuilding teams trade top 10 picks for 1st line wingers… that’s good logic right there.

 

[Gurglesons]

Pettersson is off the table without a comparable replacement.

We will see.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Who was expecting the Senators to be a rebuilding team this year?

A lot of people.

 

[Turin]

Honestly this is pathetic from the Coyotes if they went with the Senators offer partially due to this.

Well, they are the most pathetic franchise in pro sports so that would check out.

 

[Jobeycool]

The 2 biggest problems are getting goals from our defensemen and bottom 6 lines ..

Derek Stepan, Antti Raanta traded to Coyotes by Rangers | NHL.com

New York gets defenseman Anthony DeAngelo, No. 7 pick in 2017 NHL Draft

The Coyotes had 70 points in 82 games in 2016-2017, followed by 70 points in 2017-2018 as well.

They signed GIroux and traded for Debrincat in the offseason. What rebuilding team does that?

 

[Icarium]

Let's be honest, Chychrun would have been injured all the time if he came here.

 

[Andy99]

We’re going to get Bjugstad and Kulikov and you guys will love it!

 

[TKalltheTime]

Two things…

1.) I think the Rags are winning the cup this year.

2.) Arizona is an absolute dumpster fire of an organization and the NHL is a complete joke for trying to make that mess still work there

 

[DeadPuckEra]

Doesn’t trade what will probably be the pens highest organic round 1 pick in 15 years, and some other high round picks for a guy that doesn’t move the needle on a team that can’t be salvaged at this point. Fine with me. Hextall not the hero you want, but the one you deserve.

 

[dogthateats]

Would have been a good idea to try out big puusy, nylander, and gruden for long stretches during the season before the deadline to see if they can be added to the lineup without any assets. Since our bottom 6 looked like shit

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Don’t take that torch away from the Browns. They are easier to make fun of.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Hextall is the type of dude who starts working on the group project at the last minute and sends his shitty part full of mistakes 2min before the deadline.

 

[TimmyD]

Hextall “I’ll move pieces for guys who can help this team now and in the future.” The opportunity presents itself to get a cost controlled 24 year old top-2/top-4 defenseman. Hextall “Ehhhhhh, I need to keep my 2024 first to use on a guy… maybe he could be the next Jakob Chychrun!”

Don’t worry. We will add JVR.

 

[SomeDude]

Hextall is just looking out for the TSN guys and waiting to make his moves for the deadline show. Really thoughtful man.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I do genuinely find it hilarious that so many people on here think the Penguins suck and this year is a lost cause, but they're mad at Hextall for not adding players to this team at the deadline.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

A rebuilding team trying to build a better roster? They finished very poorly last year. So… I’m confused on what you are trying to get at? There isn’t one cookie cutter description or actions of a rebuilding teams it can take many forms.

 

[dogthateats]

Man Elon really ruined Twitter.

 

[Pens x]

Someone check on @Pens x

I’m one of the few people living in reality, bro.

Chychrun has two years of term.

 

[Pancakes]

Damn, that was the one player I actually wanted.

Not many targets left

 

[TimmyD]

Don’t worry. We will add JVR.

I would tell you that you’re wrong… but I’m afraid that you are actually right

You owe it to the core to at least try. The front office has failed MISERABLY this season.
