Lindell basically just made sure Pettersson is getting 5+ and 5+ with that contract.
There’s an argument he looked better than expected as a NHL prospect due to flexing high end tools you can’t teach (athleticism, skating specifically)Anyone here watch both prospect games? Heard Brunicke is looking really, really good.
Will be keeping an eye on him in camp.

But actual hockey-playing performance? he didn’t blow me away or anything. He’s very raw.
Petts is getting 6 x 6+…from someone…it better not be the Pens lol…get some assets for him, like JakeLindell basically just made sure Pettersson is getting 5+ and 5+ with that contract.
He wasnt bad at all just didn’t blow me away. he just kinda won with skating. Which is fine. But I think he could use his options better on the rush and make more “little” plays.I disagree, I thought he looked like the best defenseman in the game I watched.
Pickering looked good too.
I can see a team needing a solid top pairing guy to complement a #1 PMD giving him a 6x6 easily. He's earned it.Petts is getting 6 x 6+…from someone…it better not be the Pens lol…get some assets for him, like Jake
It's hilarious he's healthy now. Most thought he was LTIR until the end of his contract. A good chance this team gets even older when Sullivan chooses to keep him on the roster.Matt Nieto photo during Pens media day…
It's why I move him and not extend him. I wouldn't commit to that with Pettersson knowing the path this team is already on.Lindell basically just made sure Pettersson is getting 5+ and 5+ with that contract.
Someone said he still has months of rehab, is that true?It's hilarious he's healthy now. Most thought he was LTIR until the end of his contract. A good chance this team gets even older when Sullivan chooses to keep him on the roster.

Yeah I think that is true with Pickering, it's not that he has developed poorly but he just hasn't done anything super special. For a 1st rounder, you'd be hoping for a larger jump than what he has shown. That being said, he also hasn't been bad as a prospect either.
I agree with Jesse's thoughts of a solid 2nd pair D upside, I could see him being very similar to Pettersson in that he's viewed as a #4 upside type of guy that ends up exceeding that upside.
He looks good and appears to be in a healthy mindset. Should be another 70+ point season, even without Jake.
Paint a circle and put up a Pens 87 jersey cutout for people to take photos. $8.787 a piece.Good house selling value. "Sidney Crosby had a press conference here".
That's what I've been saying so it's nice to hear someone with actual clout say it like Jesse lol.Yeah I think that is true with Pickering, it's not that he has developed poorly but he just hasn't done anything super special.

He's trying to sabotage Sid's fitness so he can top him in points this year.Classy of Geno to take Sid out for a Primanti’s hot sausage and cheese.

Hasn't done it since 2019-20.
If we see any footage of Sid and Geno yelling at each other on the bench, it'll probably turn out to be them just arguing about what to have for the post-game meal.Are there people who thought he would or something?
Anyway... Geno sounds decidedly like a guy who has had to put up with Sid's extremely superstitious self deciding where they all go to eat for like going on 20 years lol

I still think Dubas will move either Eller or Acciari. Acciari will be difficult. I actually hope Acciari rebounds to be a very good RW on the 4th line. Dubas has to have some cap space here for a move sometime this year up to the TDL. Interesting with the development and so many prospects now in the potential call up range, Dubas will have to move forward.
