Confirmed with Link: Pens trade for Patric Marleau

[ownal]

Get Sheary with the 4th and call it a day. Dumo / Marino being back is our D moves.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Marleau will play with Geno and Rust, I'd bet on it. At least to start.

And honestly, I'm super fine with this. Marleau and Rust certainly fit the style that you think would mesh really well with Geno. I could see that being very similar to 2016 Kunitz-Makin-Rust, but with better versions of Kunitz and Rust.

 

[Sideline]

I like this trade.

 

[Anya6687]

our new Matt cullen.....better than anyone on our 4th line atm...like it

I won't pretend that I watched a single Sharks game this year but seems like a solid move still

Not sure Marleau now is any more of a corpse than Kunitz in 2016, and that was 2/3 of the playoffs best possession lone that year with Rust. And Geno only had one good arm then.

he will soon be moved down the lineup as corpse of Kunitz should have been..

 

[Jacob]

Fine with it.

Add Daley for D depth and call it a day.

 

[TNT87]

Damn Marleau is an iron man too. Maybe he can give the gift of health to everyone on the roster.

[Beau Knows]

Not a huge fan of this move, but I'll give him a chance.

Plus Rust now is way better than Rust in 2016 was. I like that line on paper.

And Malkin with two good arms.

 

[Nakawick]

Marleau is an effective multi use forward. Dad 2.0

Has never won a cup, added motivation for the guys to win it for him.

Some preliminary adv stats on my post in the last DL-GDT:

Salary Cap: - Pittsburgh Penguins Salary cap: We need some wet wipes, there's a mess back there

 

[vodeni]

Probably one of the better bottom six additions we could have gotten.

as long as its "bottom six addition"

 

[KIRK]

Plus Rust now is way better than Rust in 2016 was. I like that line on paper.

Imagine Marleau taking faceoffs and Geno in position to one time a clean win.

Other perk: Geno admires him. He will bust his ads to do right by Marleau.

LOL holy shit Malkin did your son sign his name with a black crayon.

 

[TKalltheTime]

Is this the Billy G, Matt Cullen move we needed?! I hope so!

 

[KIRK]

Except he's now the best option to play with Malkin and Rust.

 

[Trade]

Can’t wait to see how this turns out.

can live with a 3rd. It’ll make it a lot easier to live with a 2nd if we win it all.


Such a versatile group of forwards.

 

[Gurglesons]

More addition to our top nine is fine too. We need forward depth. Marleau is the best bargain we could get.

He is a fit. Not to mention the intangibles of him being a supremely great guy and us trying to win a cup.

 

[Will Hunting]

Really like the fit here. I was mentioning him before as my ideal target and here he is. Expected him for a 4th and he came for a 3rd. Whatever. Hopefully he is a good story here. And you know what I mean by that.

 

[WayneSid9987]

K, now where would y'all play him?
Assuming Kahun checks back in as well:

Zucker-Sid-Kahun/Simon
Rust-G-Horny
Marleu-Blueger-Tanev
Kahun/Simon-McCann-Lafferty

That ain't too shabby.

 

[vodeni]

Except he's now the best option to play with Malkin and Rust.

thats what I am afraid of. Would not worry if Rust is 100% hunter...Geno is playing both sides of the rink just fine...I am hearing that Marleu's possession and defensive numbers dropped this year (will have to check this)

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Marleau is an effective multi use forward. Dad 2.0

Has never won a cup, added motivation for the guys to win it for him.

And he played with Sid (not on the same line, obviously) on Team Canada. So there is probably already a small relationship there. Should help.
