GDT: Pens @ Detroit | Hockey Hockey!

[Empoleon8771]

He is trolling us by suddenly hinting at talent right at the end of his Pens career.

It's sad because this is true

If someone could please fire me off a link, it would be appreciated.

I'm wondering if they'll simply waive Pouliot and cut their losses if they can't swap Sheahan for him. If he gets snagged, he's someone elses problem on thier NHL roster.

-waive Archibald

Jake-Sid-Sheary
Hags-G-Phil
Rust-McKegg-Horny
Wilson-Rowney/McClement-Reaves
Kuhnackl

Dumo-Tang
Cole-Schultz
Maatta-Hunwick
Ruh

Murz
Niemi

23 Man roster with some C depth.

That or simply don't sign McC and keep Archie up. I'm fine either way.

i'm hoping for a last min. trade for something.,,,,,and I don't see any reason to lose archie

 

[WayneSid9987]

That's possible as well.
At this point, for me, i try and move him 100%. If no one bites, i'd bite the bullet and waive his ***.

 

[Empoleon8771]

They're not going to waive Pouliot, that's asinine. They're a lot more likely to waive Archibald, someone they already have in spades in the organization, that they are to waive Pouliot. It makes zero sense for them to waive Pouliot, and it makes even less sense that you're bringing up "cutting your losses" with Pouliot in a game where he's actually playing pretty well.

I'm like 95% sure Pouliot is going to be traded for a center by next week, but they're flat out not going to waive him. It doesn't make any sense, he would 100% be claimed.

 

[ColePens]

I know it's just preseason, but one thing I think the team is vastly missing is the muck/grind of Hornqvist. We are not getting a ton of 2nd chances. I think when 72 leaves, we are really going to miss those scratch/claw crappy goals.

lot of guys skating well........or maybe the wings are slow.

Actually may be true.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

If Pouliot is waived Shero will need some time alone after he puts the claim in.

 

[Peat]

It's sad because this is true

That or he has a real desire to impress the Detroit management for some strange reason.

 

[WayneSid9987]

You seem to be under the assumption that i care if he gets claimed.

 

[ColePens]

Maatta looks like he did when he forced the Pens to keep him up as an 18 year old. He's all over the ice covering a lot of territory.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I didn't even think of Shero, to be honest, because I honestly doubt he'd make it that far. I'd be surprised for Pouliot to make it passed Colorado on the waiver wire.

You seem to be under the assumption that i care if he gets claimed.

That's just awful asset management, though.

Yeah, Maatta looks really, really good in the preseason.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Please stay healthy and keep doing this, Maatta... at least don't break both legs?

 

[ColePens]

Great save by Jarry. Sprong has made some boneheaded turnovers. Trying to kick the puck to his stick, he basically gives it straight to the Wing.

Made a bad turnover earlier at the blueline. Step it up Sprong.

 

[HuskerTornado]

Devils up 8-1 on the Sens. Pens haven't scored in over 3 periods. There is a new alpha dog in the East, everyone.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Jarry's the man. He won't be in the A that much longer.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

You seem to be under the assumption that i care if he gets claimed.

I'd like to at least get a token 7th if his value is that bad. Just something.

I thought Shero had first dibs after the draft rankings. I'm probably wrong.

 

[ColePens]

Jarry's the man. He won't be in the A that much longer.

He looks extremely poised in the net. Extremely poised.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I thought Shero had first dibs after the draft rankings. I'm probably wrong.

I think it's based on record, which means Colorado would have first dibs. It might be based on the draft, though, I'm not 100%. Either way, I can think of like 6 teams weak on LD that would immediately put a claim on Pouliot if he'd be waived. Even if it's just a 3rd in return, it would be dumb to just **** that away.

Either way, it's a moot point because if he doesn't go for Sheahan, he's going to be traded for another center before opening night. I can't see a way he's still on this team in a week unless someone gets hurt between now and then.

 

[Andy99]

Yeah, no prospect is really impressing here except maybe Jarry and McKegg. I think McKegg will win a spot at 4C. The other options aren't as good

 

[The Old Master]

he's not looking like a guy that's going to stay.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Dear god, that was a nice goal by Mantha. But Trotman sucks.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Without Steigy being the worst Errey looks worse.

 

[The Old Master]

if Johnson had better wings...I think he would look better... that and him getting pushed around.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Lucky bounce.
