GDT: Pens 2024 Trade Deadline Thread: Jake Shake Talk here

[Big Friggin Dummy]

"There's more interest in Reilly Smith than Jake Guentzel. One to keep an eye on." - 13 absolutely useless dipshits with sources no closer to team inner workings than the office janitors.

If it turns out they were all offering 6th round picks...how would you feel then?

Might take it

Could any prospect really do less?

 

[SomeDude]

Now that Chad is gone we can finally get a look at Ty Smith! Oh, yea. Nevermind.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Alas we forget the Pens once iced Alexei Ponikarovsky for like, 15 games.

Man i forgot about that pile of garbage, didnt he claim to brag in the locker room about how he could wait to leave in the summer and sign in LA?

 

[Ryder71]

Harkins is out long term, I'm sure the masses are thrilled.

Established top 6 wings > unknown prospects. He could end up picking it up next year. Who knows. But there's very little reason to sell low on Smith.

I’d be fine. He’s really sucked here and he has an extra year of term

 

[Ryder71]

He was a nothing burger, addition by subtraction.

How will, get through one night without Jake, if I had to live without Jake, what kinda life would that be?

 

[Deport Ogie]

There's a lot of bad defenseman being traded, you'd think if so inclined the Pens might be able to ship out their own bad defenseman except that ours also comes with a really bad contract.

Good lord as if this horrible season and missing the playoffs 2 years in a row isn’t bad. They once again don’t sell the things they should have to get anything in return two years in a row and yet move the only player that would still be a help in Jake. Just brilliant BIG BRAIN moves from the penguins.

It legit sickens me how we’ve went from being one of the cream of the crop NHL franchises, to being probably the next Arizona in 5 years.

Especially once the “big 3” are gone.

Thanks FSG.

We have POJ, Ludvig, Shea, Rathbone...we'll be fine.

Those 6th round picks could turn into anything, even Jake Guentzel

I’m a vegan.

 

[Lust for Life]

I need to remember trade deadlines are extremely underwhelming

Poni is the reason I don't trust players who get a buncha points on dogshit teams with a ton of TOI and PP time.

How are Sid, Malkin, and Letang growing old after 17 years of competing for a Cup suddenly FSG's fault?

JFC some of you people really need to think before you post complete and utter garbage.

 

[Ryder71]

I’m a vegan.

My apologies.

 

[Andy99]

Still got an hour, you know Vegas, they might try.

Why? they can’t afford to pay him $5M next year until Stone goes on LTIR again right at the deadline lol

 

[Ulf5]

Zito casually reminding everyone that he’s the best GM in the league.

I was going to ask when Waddell became a competent GM. But then he went and traded for Kuznetsov.

 

[End of Line]

Zito casually reminding everyone that he’s the best GM in the league.

CBJ f***ed up badly keeping Jarmo and letting Zito go

 

[SEALBound]

I need to remember trade deadlines are extremely underwhelming

33 trades took place this week...

Definitely more of a JR blowing trades, quitting, needing to get a new gm, hiring a shitty one, going through an ownership change, and then hiring another GM all in 3 years issue than just FSG

 

[Deport Ogie]

Poni is the reason I don't trust players who get a buncha points on dogshit teams with a ton of TOI and PP time.

Especially when they cost a 2nd round pick.

I thought Stone was on LTIR? I thought they cleared out cap space? Took a brief nap maybe I missed something.
