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

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Feels like the team saying "If you're worried about his injury, don't."

 

[pistolpete11]

Yes and no. Yes, they should take as long as it takes to get the best return. However, the longer it takes, the more likely teams in the mix say “screw this” and move to their plan B’s shifting leverage to whoever is left. We’ve seen over the last 5-7 years, the bulk (and biggest) deals typically get done well before the deadline now.

Yesterday it was between like the Canucks, Avs, and Knights. Now the Rangers, Panthers, and Canes have jumped in. If they would have followed their arbitrary, self-imposed deadline of yesterday, maybe they miss out on a better deal.

Can’t read the article but damn he’s dreamy

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Oh boy

Yep. We're at the "All we're gonna offer you is worthless shit. Take it or leave it." phase of the operation.

The article sucks, literally nothing of value

Tick tock or something

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Oh boy

Cliff notes for people who don't ever want Yohe or Rossi to have a dime of their money?

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

The issue was not going after EK.

The issue was not doing anything before or after to improve the team.

I disagree.

He extended Jarry, he signed Graves ( he sucks ) he traded for Smith and signed a bunch of bottom 6 guys while drafting the best possible prospect we have seen in so long.

This team on paper to start the season was much better than the past Hextall teams to start the season. It just hasn't gelled at all and bigger changes are needed and by that we should pretty much gut. We are at that point!

Shit article from Yohe that provides nothing that hasn’t already been said.

He says tick tock a lot of times, though.

Take enough benadryl and you don't even see the hat man, you see Yohe in the corner of your room licking a boot.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

So what's next!!! Jake plays tonight and gets a season ending injury?

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

I'd rather shoot myself in the neck with a nail gun repeatedly then listen to a word that comes out of Sullivan's noise maker.

I'm not sure how the middle sentence isn't saying exactly what I did.

He can't play until March 10th.

He can't come off of LTIR until Sunday, so no worry there.

Maybe. We literally know nothing and I’m sure discussions have been had with all of those teams and more for over a week.

My point remains that the bigger fish typically are traded before the last day of the deadline because buyers don’t want to wait until the last second and left scrambling if they miss out. It should get done today is my guess.

 

[IcedCapp]

I dunno. I hated our summer until the karlsson trade and then it went from a F to a lukewarm B- or something. But most people here told me it was fine so I waited. I’m gonna keep waiting until after the deadline before I start worrying about Dubas. It’s a shitty position to be in. He’d probably tear it down if he could.

But I’d much rather have Zucker than the gaggle of bottom-6 nothings we signed.

Luckily he can't play until sunday

What flexibility in tactics did Dullivan show again?

Typo is staying

Nothing can erase the image from my brain. Thank you

What team here is so desperate they aren't just going to wait out the Penguins to get the cheapest deal possible?

He is flexible in that he can play Jeff Carter 17 mins a night or Harkins 14 mins a night.

 

[Pens1566]

Laughs in Daniel Sprong

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

I just took a giant Jansen Harkins in the upstairs toilet room and feel much better if I do say so myself, I miss anything yet?

The only team he wouldn't be an instant upgrade on is the Rangers. And it's not even really close.
