Off season time. New thread time apparently cause @Ugene Magic doesn’t like high page counts.

So how about them Malkin and Letang UFAs? Maybe we should sign one or both.

Geno thread. Keep Geno talk here:

Rumor: - Geno where art thou?

With all the Geno rumors and news, time for its own thread. Keep the Geno talk here please.

Wonder if it would be possible if the Pens lose Malkin, sign Letang and Klingberg? Of course we would need to feel the role of losing Malkin.. That would be awfully difficult with what the Pens are currently facing.

Why would the Pens sign two No. 1 defensemen who both play the right side? They would never be on the ice together and you would no longer have resources to replace Malkin.

This is how you get Heinen-Carter-Kapanen as your second line for 82 games.

Ruhwedel as an everyday #6 is fine and will continue to be fine unless you believe the blueline urgently needs to be bigger. Which I kind of do.

I also fully believe he has eschewed the chance to seek more money and career opportunities elsewhere to stay here. That, of course, earns him nothing back.

My Dad was telling me yesterday how he thought Dumoulin was traded for a 2nd and 3rd round pick. He literally started the conversation with "How do you feel about the Dumoulin trade?" Then that 2nd and McGinn was traded to Edmonton for someone with a P last name. It was Puljujarvi. Absolutely no clue where he got this from or if he had another stroke. He also doesn't have a clue where he saw/heard this.


Speaking of Puljujarvi reminds me of how much I wanted the Pens to acquire Julius Honka. :laugh:

You kinda have to be careful this week. It's Nightmare on Three Rivers. Sully is somewhere lurking.

Sully: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

:laugh: He’ll be a 5 time 1st round elimination coach you mean. But but but he keeps the team afloat during injuries in November.

It's not a gamble, certainly not at that AAV. He's an awesome player and one of only about 4 UFA wingers I'd be interested in (and he can play C as well, like Copp who is another one on that list). Heart & soul guy, the kind you win with. Tampa may not have gotten out of the first round (of 3rd) without him. He's not a flash in the pan -- he's just a late bloomer who's gotten better and better each of the last few years. Finally you got to see what he can do on a good team rather than Ottawa.

I think you are are overating him.

"Ruhwedel turned down more money to play elsewhere"

Here are the dates that Ruhwedel has signed his extensions in the past:

-February 19th, 2022: 2 year extension when he was in the last few months of his current deal (not legally allowed to talk to other teams)
-August 28th, 2020: 1 year extension a year before his deal expired (not legally allowed to talk to other teams)
-May 23rd, 2019: 2 year extension before he hit free agency in 2019 (not legally allowed to talk to other teams)
-June 22nd 2017: 2 year extension before he hit free agency in 2017 (not legally allowed to talk to other teams)

Where did Ruhwedel even have the opportunity to "turn down more money" to sign with anyone else? He legally hasn't even been allowed to talk to other teams about an extension since 2016.

2016?
 
That image tells me the Penguins are on his mind (hat with a penguin closest to his brain) but his legs are still good enough for the Capitals/Red Wings/NYR (red shorts)

He is also with his son signifying that family is important and his next contract has to provide for them.
