Yes!! Thank the lord he isn’t coming back to the islanders. He sucks, defensively, and he isn’t nearly good enough offensively to justify how bad he is defensivel. he uses a stick that is twice his size and it hinders his ability to do things. pens fans Keep your expectations way way low.

Think he's at best 8th on the depth chart. Maybe 7th. Wouldn't see him getting much regular NHL ice time until post the trade deadline.

What exactly is the Pens strategy for this season?

Crosby, Malkin and Letang are not getting any younger.

Their moves from yesterday says rebuild without really shouting it.
That's what Dubas has too do. The owners won't go for a rebuild so he has the slyly begin it under their noses

Carolina blew it, targeting Ghostbear and Walker when Aho could of been the top target

Likely that we try to slip him onto the WBS roster as an emergency callup. He's a #7 at best, more likely #8 or #9

I had to do a double take.

Carolina has been involved in so many changes now that the ultimate icing on the cake meltdown would be to trade the Finnish Sebastian Aho away, hence it sounds more beliavable today than a week ago. In reality it's quite impossible thing to happen though (perhaps Montreal disagrees).

This is such a Kyle Dubas signing. If I was an undersized hockey player I'd have shrine to Dubas in my home and declare him a patron saint of all undersized players.
