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

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Any form of negotiation.

He’s been decent at drafting. Hopefully that pans out here because this team is finished after this move.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we see the core ask out after this absurd mismanagement …

Good. Have fun elsewhere. This team's got tanking to do and they're too busy p***yfooting around pretending they're trying to compete for the sake of making sure Sid never even cracks a frown.

 

[TKalltheTime]

I don't think its a catastrophically bad return.

Well we found Dubas’ account

 

[Turin]

Morrow and Blake would have been fantastic! Instead we got moe, larry and Curly!

You didn’t know who they were before this evening. Again, I’m picturing Toronto fans in 2015 freaking out about not getting Derrick Pouliot

 

[SomeDude]

Florida is the Cup favourite this year. Their pick is worth nothing. This is such a reach.

The biggest reach is any of the guys we got actually developing into an impact player.

This was a let down in terms of value. They should have just went all in trying to sign Jake if that was the best offer. Now we get to watch Bunting flop for 3 years. Very entertaining.

 

[66-30-33]

Who is stoked for us to move Sid to Colorado next deadline for a conditional 3rd, the rights to Martin Kaut and Josh Manson?

I'd do it now.

Can you tell me why Morrow and Blake would be fantastic yet Koivunen and Ponowhatever is not? It seems like you have more knowledge than me on these players, I would like to know more.

They aren't even their top 5 prospects for starters. That pono guy is said to be a bottom 6? we got enough of those.

 

[WickedWrister]

Well we found Dubas’ account

A roster piece, 3 B prospects, and a conditional 2nd is not a catastrophically bad return for an impending UFA

DP

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

There are still four to six players who need to be dealt tomorrow.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Disappointed to see the scout saying Ponomarev has a bottom-six ceiling. I certainly didn't see him with top-line potential, but I was hoping he could be a middle-six two-way C with some offensive flair.

To be fair, I distinctly recall this being the report on Rust when drafted, and several people on this board being angry we drafted such a low ceiling prospect. Anyway...

He’s a star winger and the best player available at the trade deadline and you don’t get a f***ing locked in non-conditional 1st??? f*** offffff

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

I’m disappointed. I wanted Necas or Jarvis + a top 5 prospect. Was I being unrealistic? Sure. Is it likely one of these 3 guys turns out to be decent? Sure.

 

[Gurglesons]

Good. Have fun elsewhere. This team's got tanking to do and they're too busy p***yfooting around pretending they're trying to compete for the sake of making sure Sid never even cracks a frown.

I mean, based on how hard Dubas just lost a simple 1st, prospect, player trade.. good luck with that.

As I’ve said many times, Dubas is worse than Hextall.

Hextall at least got two 1sts when he took back a bad contract when moving Schenn..

Don't remind me.

 

[Turin]

Every young player in this era who panned out was called a bottom six NHLer eventually.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Morrow and Blake would have been fantastic! Instead we got moe, larry and Curly!

They were never on the table. You only believed it was possible because of fake insiders selling you a dream for clicks. Guentzel is a rental, you’re not getting that type of quality prospects for 2 months. If he agreed to an extension prior to the trade then that’s another story.

 

[TKalltheTime]

There are still four to six players who need to be dealt tomorrow.

I’d say 6-8 but they don’t have the balls to do that.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Do you think there is some sort of scenario where Mike Sullivan hockey helps this team the rest of this year, or ever did at any point in 2023-2024?

I don't care about the rest of the year. They can lose every game.

And I don't expect Sullivan to be here next season.

 

[WickedWrister]

To be fair, I distinctly recall this being the report on Rust when drafted, and several people on this board being angry we drafted such a low ceiling prospect. Anyway...

Oh yeah, it was immediately viewed as another low-upside gritty American Shero pick

 

[Gurglesons]

I don't care about the rest of the year. They can lose every game.

And I don't expect Sullivan to be here next season.

Why?

What about Dubas makes you think he is firing Sullivan?

 

[Andy99]

I’m guessing at most one guy gets traded and that’s it…sorry to burst your bubble…our FO sucks

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Interesting that Koivunen plays with last year's draft pick Emil Pieniniemi and former Pen (we still hold his rights) Kasper Bjorkqvist in Karpat. We may have scouts who have seen quite a bit of him.

 

[Penguin Suited Up]

What is the condition on the 1st?

 

[SomeDude]

I guess the Meier trade last year was just a mass hallucination then.

You don't get those type of prospects when you have a bad GM is the true statement.

 

[66-30-33]

What is the condition on the 1st?

They make the SCF.

 

[WickedWrister]
