The older I get, the more import I see humility in myself, and the more I value it in others. This has nothing to do with hockey.
Wait, what? Somebody claimed White?
Sullivan is the one that doesn't get it. I do think the top 6 is built well.
Teams are looking for LD upgrades as well. Specifically, Dallas and the Avs (apparently). A couple of Avs guys expressed interest in Petts. I just have no idea how that fits.
Solid AHL player that can't translate to the NHL. We need him in WBS more than anything but I'm not going to panic if they do. I'd rather them use Zohorna, Poulin, or Hinostroza.
Like I said, it’s not what I want to happen, it’s what I think will happen.
If we are blowing the team up I don't really care where anyone goes if we get great returns.
Not all to Vegas but I think the 4 players that move out are Jake, Jarry, Smith, and Peterson. I’ve love Petts game for all season and has definitely shown what he is capable of. But you have to think you could get a haul for him how he has played at his cap hit and there is one more year of him? A contender would pay through the teeth for him. Smith he just wants out, bye. Jake as has been talked to death would be a huge return. And I also do not think Jarry’s value will ever be higher than it is now. If I had to pick my board of highly likely outgoing players that would be my board and I’d say at least 2-3 of those four will be traded least likely is Petts.
Nobody will be a Pens goalie next season, not that we need one anymore as we should pull the plug.
In fairness to Sully, none of their tenures with this organization overlapped with his.
That's fine by me, Oilers aren't a team I look at where I go "I want that!" and I don't even follow them. I hope they lose in round 1 again and Drai doesn't re-sign there.
Resign Nedelkovich and then you can either bring up Blomqvist or see if MAF would come back for a year.
A whole lot of MEH! Oh well, we are a bottom 10 team from here on out anyway, who needs a goalie.
I don't see Jake to Edmonton happening. I think there is way too much work to be done and the players that they could move are not players they should be moving. I could see maybe Foegele out for cheap, Jake for 1st, 3rd, Holloway, and Petrov. But yeah, I think other teams have a leg up on Edmonton.Friedman with some Penguins thoughts in his column. Along with musing about Dubas' press conference, he included these nuggets:
1. If teams are allowed to try to extend Guentzel before a trade, that hurts Edmonton. They can’t do it. The Oilers are also very aware that for every dollar that comes in, someone needs to go out. So, they are doing legwork in several different directions.
2. Please recognize that this is manifesting purely in my head. But, as I watch Daniel Alfredsson on the bench in Ottawa, I can’t help but wonder if the Senators consider a Karlsson reunion. At least, brainstorm it. Yes, it’s complicated and yes, everyone would have to be on board. But no one mind-melds with Karlsson like Alfredsson, and, since it got into my head, I can’t stop thinking about the possibility of it.
3. Speaking of reunions, what does everyone think of Reilly Smith and Florida?

I mean, look at all goalies this year. A lot of their stats are average. The cheaper cost would help us reallocate money elsewhere.
So far I’ve seen the Knights and the Oilers mentioned. Neither having very exciting prospect pools from what I can tell.Friedman with some Penguins thoughts in his column. Along with musing about Dubas' press conference, he included these nuggets:

Letang has said that he doesn’t want to play for any other coach. He also said that Sid and Geno feel the same way…. So the big 3 absolutely are pulling for him. I think part of that is they believe he can still be the right guy to help this team win. I also believe that at this point in their careers none of those guys want to go through a coaching change and all that comes with that.
