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

[pensfan71]

Jake's morning skate basically told me he went around to reminisce. He probably only just gave Dubas the go-ahead. So now we wait

Kyle managed to get the Canes to throw in a DQ cake. Only thing that would get ice cream boy excited.

DQ is CERTAINLY not ice cream! dang heathen....

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Because we still want nhl players, I guess

Yup.

They are in that never never land between a rebuild and icing a 'competitive' team next year.

 

[Trade]

HEY JAKE, THREE MINUTES UNTIL YOU’RE FREE

 

[Flying Dego]

"Hey Michael we are holding you out tonight. Going to Pittsburgh in a trade"

Bunting:

I just don’t get the “plan”.

Dubas is doing the same throw shit at a wall and hope it sticks approach as Hextall, but worse.

He’s trying to retool not rebuild and not buy. Bunting, while not great, is better than what we’re playing in our top-9 right now.

I hope I live long enough to see a GM who doesn’t get obsessed with former players. It would be so cool to experience one day.

 

[66-30-33]

Would be hilarious if Bunting says "I refuse to play for the Pens".

 

[WickedWrister]

Okay it's been 3 seconds since the game ended. What's the return?

Which could have been said about any number of young NHL wingers, many of whom were discussed here today.

Bunting's contract is not great, to be kind.

if it lets us void the trade i would be all for it. (just in case)

Young nhl wingers who play for the canes or rangers and are available?

4.5M with the cap going up for a guy who has played well with top centers before isn't that big of a deal.

Exactly.

 

[Deport Ogie]

4.5M with the cap going up for a guy who has played well with top centers before isn't that big of a deal.

10 team no-trade next year but it looks like it drops off for the last year of the deal.

 

[IcedCapp]

Exactly.

Who are these people that were available and Dubas passed on?

 

[Rudy Russo]

Okay it's been 3 seconds since the game ended. What's the return?

Jordan Staal, 2024 7th round pick & 2025 6th round pick

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

They're not tanking next year so the need cheap NHL talent. It's a good deal for what he most likely will bring.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Who are these people that were available and Dubas passed on?

We don't know anything. All I know is that Dubas LOVES Michael f*&ing Bunting for some messed up reason.

 

[Gurglesons]

He’s trying to retool not rebuild and not buy. Bunting, while not great, is better than what we’re playing in our top-9 right now.

He really isn’t.

I guess the hope is he adds something to our powerplay.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Colby, Getzoff and the Pens panel all...




When blaming everyone but Sullivan.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Does anyone else feel worse now that Rossi says he likes the deal?

 

[pensfan71]

How has nothing leaked

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Who are these people that were available and Dubas passed on?

What's even more funny is tat people are arguing over what the Pens should have gone after instead without having any clue what players are actually involved Assuming that the deal is even completed.
