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

[DesertedPenguin]

So, knowing the Pens, they're at least eight years away.

Ponomaryov is in the AHL. He should join the NHL roster along with Sam Poulin, in my mind.

 

[Ryder71]

Man, I no longer like Dubas.

I feel sick, not one top five prospect in their system. No Morrow, no blake, is was quantity over quality. f*** DUBAS! I defended him , wanted to give him a chance but he's cowardly piece of shit!

 

[Gurglesons]

UFA signing, 2020 2nd, 2021 2nd, 2022 4th, 2024 2nd for Jake Guentzel

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Not getting Nikishin, Morrow, Nadeau or Blake is... Disappointing.

Oh well, better than letting him walk for nothing or signing him to some insane contract--which can still happen this summer, though unlikely, but at least they got something. /shrug

 

[The GM]

Button has Koivunen as the Cannes #2 prospect

Button is a tool

 

[66-30-33]

We are done, we are also keeping Sullivan to make matters worse.

 

[3074326]

Solid couple prospects, but hard to believe this was the best offer. Time will tell, I suppose.

Not getting an actual 1st is pretty f***ing wild. Without a top tier prospect.

 

[displacedpensfan]

We got Bunting. I tried to tell everyone Dubas had probably significant value on Bunting.

Why is he so f***ing obsessed with ex-Soo players. I bet there was a better prospect offer out there, but Bunting is one of his f***ing pet rocks.

 

[Turin]

Koivunen and Pronomorev are probably #2 and #3 in the Pens system now tbh, says a lot about the Pens system but they aren’t trash. Again, I have not seen these kids play. But Prono is having a good AHL season at 21. Both have cool names.

 

[Pancakes]

People are saying stuff like this but as @Jaded-Fan said none of us has even the slightest clue about how good any of these prospects are so whatever.

We won't know if this deal was any good for a few years, realistically

 

[TKalltheTime]

Whelppppp that return is just about as embarrassing as it could be! lol so on brand lololok

 

[the penitent]

Craig Patrick once said something like "the team that loses the best player loses the trade", so I guess we should keep that in mind in assessing the return. That said, in honor of tonight's on-performance, seems like we lost this trade quite convincingly. And I guarantee that Guentzel is NOT signing back here in free agency.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Holy f*** he moved Jake for that? this just makes me sad.

f*** you Kyle.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Not horrible not bad. I hate y’all for dragging Blake into this and I hate Pagnotta/DK for teasing Morrow.

 

[SomeDude]

Why is he so f***ing obsessed with ex-Soo players. I bet there was a better prospect offer out there, but Bunting is one of his f***ing pet rocks.

Because he's not a good GM and favors players he knows. Just like Mike Sullivan.

 

[cygnus47]

Koivunen seems to be one of the best scorers in the Liiga at 20 at least and sounds highly skilled. Bunting and a 2nd isn't nothing. Especially if Guentzel doesn't sign there.

Weve definitely added some interesting names to the list. Cruz Lucius has to be the number one name in our system.

 

[Malkinstheman]

It's definitely more on the side of quantity but theyre all legit prospects. For a rental that's a pretty good haul Imo

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Can’t with for Dubas presser where he will be asked easy questions and tell us about how him and Sully are happy and are on the same page.

 

[cygnus47]

It's definitely more on the size of quantity but theyre all legit prospects. For a rental that's a pretty good haul Imo

You'd hope for more blue-chip for Jake, but at least they've all got actual upside.

 

[Coffee]

Good trade

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

You'll get re-re-re-re-re-concussed Jansen Harkins AND LIKE IT GODDAMN IT!

Of course we lost the best player, he's a UFA rental.

I agree there's no chance he's back. He'd be a fool.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

So that trade means Jake will be back

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Cruz Lucius sounds like a 1980's action movie villain name.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

The prospects that they got in return range from good to decent. You get more stability in holding Koivunen’s rights than you do in Morrow’s. Getting close to a PPG in Liiga as a twenty-year-old is very impressive.
