"We're gonna be way better this year Sid. Look... we just traded one of the like five players actually doing anything for essentially nothing. Are you not convinced?!?"
Confirmed with Link: Pens trade Eller to Washington

Is 2027 supposed to be so deep that its worth waiting 2 years for a 3rd rounder?

I don't think it's a given that Eller would get more at the deadline at his age. Didn't he slow down pretty heavily the second half of last season?

I don’t care much.
Sullivan would have tanked Eller’s value by the deadline anyways.
Put Poulin at 3rd line center and trade accari neito and sully next

Dunno, not a scout lol. I just have read that this upcoming draft isn't deep. I can't find myself being able to be worked up about a 3rd rounder being deferred a couple seasons.

That's the worst part of this deal. The guy who Dubas inevitably replaces him with is going to suck so much balls and make us hate this team even more.

God watch Dubas's big move be - trade Eller, bring in Joel Armia from the Habs

I don't have faith in Dubas to get any value for anything. He's consistently proven he'll get less than expected for any given asset.

I gotta say, I know it is part of the cycle and that, but the people who watch 12-14 year olds and legitimately try to rank them for the NHL draft are ****** wild.
I'm generally not a Dubas hater and would be defending him if it was a 2027 2nd. I don't care about an extra year of waiting. I care that he sold early on a guy that should have brought back a better pick.

No retention being used is nice. Probably being saved for Pettersson

Remember 5 minutes ago when we were excited to watch McGroarty-Eller-Puljujarvi after they crushed preseason and then they sent down McGroarty immediately, benched Puljujarvi for no reason and then traded Eller? Absolutely stupendous.

f*** the mandate man. This organization's become delusional, sleepy and directionless.
It's time to return to being ambitious. Crosby is not winning a 4th Cup in Pittsburgh in any timeline.
The sooner they accept that, the better off they'll be.

Maybe fair. But this is also within the division and it's happening before Sullivan. So I'm still calling it a loss - the only thing Kyle seems capable of.
Kyle is utterly out to lunch on this team and has been since taking over. Nothing he's done has had any resemblance to building success - only excuses. As bad as the situation may have been (I don't think it really was considering our cap space PLUS the prospect of cap space upcoming) when he took over for Hextall- the fact that this team won't even sniff a wildcard spot during his tenure is downright pathetic and should not earn him the right to usher in ANY form of whatever the team will look like post-Sid/Geno era. He squandered the ball, big time and has done nothing but sit on his ass and watch it unfold.

Do you think trading an asset for a futures asset 2 years down the road with no premium is ambitious? Why?

Don't worry, they'll only have 4 more years left on their deal. Kyle's phone is likely blowing up with GM's looking to pawn off their summer mistakes on the class idiot.

Why on earth would we need to retain Eller and his 2.45 million sweetheart contract?
He's one of the best 3Cs available out there, maybe the best?
How the f*** are people still giving Dubas the benefit of the doubt?
Dude has yet to make a single good move

Yes, Eller's got 1 assist in 10 games. There's no guarantee he'd get even a 3rd at the deadline if he stayed. He might get injured too.

This is ambitious?

Because almost half the league has less than 2m in cap space? Im not even defending Dubas, I said one positive thing about the trade lol
