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

[EVGENIMERLIN]

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

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

Yes actually. I don’t trust his prospect valuation

 

[BrookswasHere44]

How has nothing leaked

Probably respect for player(s) still playing they weren't told yet

 

[IcedCapp]

He really isn’t.

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

How can you look at our top-9 tonight and say bunting isn’t better than at least two players?

Plus we all expect smith to be moved.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

How has nothing leaked

Bunting is like the most Sullivan type of player you could imagine. Inconsistent offensively, late bloomer that's struggling but is supposedly defensively responsible.

That's a Sully rock hard red rocket.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

They all turned off their phones so they can't find out.

 

[farscape1]

Games are over, lets get this done. I want to see a melt down.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

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

Just his last dance until he has to get new gloves and delete his favs on Yelp for restaurants and exit all the friend group chats.

Little punk ass bitch.

 

[IcedCapp]

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.

I know you referenced this earlier, but not only is it weird that you and I are basically in lockstep on this, it feels like we’re in the vast minority. Bizarro world.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

He really isn’t.

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

He has more power play goals than everyone but Sid and more total goals than Rakell or Smith while playing less minutes.

Nah. Sully will hate Bunting, dude is a total mess in terms of “just play”.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I know you referenced this earlier, but not only is it weird that you and I are basically in lockstep on this, it feels like we’re in the vast minority. Bizarro world.

Pretty sure the deal is something like Bunting, Morrow, and a 2nd or conditional that can be a first.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

I know you referenced this earlier, but not only is it weird that you and I are basically in lockstep on this, it feels like we’re in the vast minority. Bizarro world.

I swear people are actually hoping that it's a bad deal so they have a reason to complain or something.

 

[Gurglesons]

He has more power play goals than everyone but Sid and more total goals than Rakell or Smith while playing less minutes.

Neat.

Is he part of the plan you told me about where Dubas is making us young?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Nah. Sully will hate Bunting, dude is a total mess in terms of “just play”.

I don't even care anymore. Doesn't matter who the f*** they get.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a significant conditional pick or prospect if Jake resigns with the Canes.

On top of a solid rental return with a lot of teams bidding.

 

[Ulf5]

After Smith is traded, our legit top 6 wingers are- Rust, Rakell and, and, and,

Certainly feels that way

 

[Pancakes]

Where is this shite ass deal. How long i gotta wait

 

[Turin]

I swear people are actually hoping that it's a bad deal so they have a reason to complain or something.

We know at least one person is

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think the Penguins have made everyone so jaded that people are just expecting to be mad, so they're trying to get ahead of it to say "see, I was right!".

 

[Ryder71]

What the f*** is the return? 5 f***in hrs of this shit!

 

[pensfan71]

Pretty sure the deal is something like Bunting, Morrow, and a 2nd or conditional that can be a first.

Would prefer a prospect over the pick but not against it

 

[IcedCapp]

I swear people are actually hoping that it's a bad deal so they have a reason to complain or something.

I do think we’re seeing that a big portion of the fan base does not care to let the core ride it out. I wonder if that really becomes an issue next season.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Neat.

Is he part of the plan you told me about where Dubas is making us young?

Is Dubas only allowed to make one trade? I view things in context.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Deal sounds like shit.

Should've just re-signed Guentzel if the alternative is adding another middle 6 tweener and milquetoast prospects.
