Ah well, keep blowing it up. Petts, Smith, Eller and Ned out next.

Smith seems like he sucks but if anyone can make him into an actual good player it'd be Carolina.

Can we hire Sheri back as an assistant GM…… he would have only 1 responsibility- make the trades!

My quick assessment is Ponomarev is immediately NHL ready, Koivunen starts in AHL and Lucius goes back to Wisconsin for another year or two.
Yeah, we shall see how good our scouts are. (but like others have said, they still might be Sulli-vied.)
Yeah that's even worse, if you're rebuilding you want younger guys who can make the league around the time you would draft a franchise forward.
The goal is to win, not make fans slightly less sad when they suck. Not have guys reaching free agency when the Pens hopefully become good again.
Yeah the one plus here is Dubas got this done before tomorrow so hopefully he can start unloading a lot of other crap tomorrow now that this is handled

I'll be really angry if Dubas keeps the rest of the lot and only sells Guentzel...
Pono is ready. Lad has a non stop motor and plays his game regardless of who he plays with. He's a solid 2way player and is one of those wingers that would be great as the forechecker with Geno or the third line. He's one of the players I hoped Dubas would get in the Canes rumors.

key point is "one this team" , which includes an increasingly incompetent coaching staff and no semblance whatsoever of a system
Well, the fact that this never happens, the fact that he's not going to take a hometown discount, which means minimum 8-9 million per over 6-7 years, the fact that you have to pay crosby after next season and you have nmerous other boat anchor contracts with no trade clauses tells me the numbers just don't add up

How does this deal compare to other deadline rentals over the last few years? I'm genuinely curious.

Again he has to beat out Harkins for a spot. Can he in Sully's eyes? Might be too young.

Probably the last NHL goal he'll ever score.
I mean Smith doesn't suck, the irony is what you blokes think Morrow would be is not far off from what Smith is. When he was called up last season, he looked good but Sullivan being the
he is, needed more Turdwedel.

Just because everyone got suckered into a rumored return for the 10,000th time doesn't mean it's a bad trade.
And even if it's a decent trade in a vacuum doesn't mean we're helped by it whatsoever.

I was watching a few clips and noticed how much he loved celebrating to the crowd and said to myself he is a bit of a shit head and I like it!! Then noticed his #
Hopefully he ends up having a career like him!!

Koivunen’s stats as a 20 year old are no joke. If skating is his only problem, that can be helped. Idk, I am cool with it. Whatever. I wanted Guentzel to re-sign and I can’t talk myself into thinking any of Carolinas prospects are blue chips besides Nikishin who they wouldn’t even trade for an elite C.

The Global Hangman wishes he could be
Its comparable. Its about what I expected for Jake. Dubas wanted prospects over picks. There are some interesting pieces there. Not sure why the team refused to give Smith a chance though. Bunting adds a lot to what we are missing.

Sullivan gots to go!
Our prospect pool was pathetic. Good on Dubas to land three prospects in this trade. Hate Bunting, but five future assets is not bad at all. Koivunen's numbers in a men's league is very encouraging. Ponomarev is NHL-ready. Lucius is a project, but one with upside. Overall, pretty solid return.

There will be "I told you so's" Bet on it
Pono looks interesting from the limited highlights i have watched. Seems to have great energy, really good, ,quick shot which is very welcome on this current team.
Congrats on at least managing an asset properly, I'm happy with the move being made. Hopefully Dubas has a much better scouting department than the Pens have had in recent years.
