He also has a good history against Washington and Boston to a lesser degree.

That said, IF Sid's line can get sorted, we've got 3 high end #1 lines.

Nothing is for certain. You need bounces and health, but all things being equal, it's as lethal a competitive advantage as you'll see one team having.

I hope Sully goes back to Guentzel next to Sid, now that the "third line" is settled with Kessel having an offensive player to play with (Brassard).

I don't know why Sully loves Rust with Sid. That's like the one combination that's almost never worked.

Who is Dunn? At first I thought Vince Dunn, but then I realized St. Louis wasn't the third team involved.

But no, for real... he's a warm ECHL body, basically. I thought that at first too but was immediately like... wait...

Who are the other peices we got? AHLers? Forgive my ignorance here.

Don't know enough about either. Lindberg seems like a somewhat intriguing 22 year old winger. OK numbers in the AHL. Also Swedish. Very important for projecting success.

Dunn has a winning smile.

I’m not sure he will. I thought that too but Jake is heating up. If he’s with Sid with the extra attention he’ll get there we don’t have the right winger to complement him (Hornqvist is currently occupied).

Wouldn't be surprised if Lindberg turned out to be a solid bottom-six player in the future.

Yeah, unless it's a different Lindberg than the one I'm thinking of, isn't he actually pretty good? Wasn't that one of the guys people wanted in the summer when some folks were losing their minds about not having a quality 3C by training camp?

Know your Lindbergs people! Oscar is not a Penguin. :)

:D

The Swedisher the better. It's hockey science.

You think it's a coincidence this team's fortunes starting taking a huge turn once Hornqvist turned Penguin? And the the dam broke when they got Hagelin...

Just saw JR speaking on the complexity of this deal.

He looks like he just gave birth . . . to an accountant.

JR originally did the whole thing on some PF Changs napkins which is why it got rejected by the league. He then had to run it by his capologist.

Do Guentzel and Hornqvist end up as Sid's wings after this?

Not unless things are going bad and we need to switch it up. I originally wanted Jake to move back up (not Horny I love HGH too much) but he’s killing it right now.

I figured he was to busy ordering and asked Guerin to double check the numbers. Guerin said we were good, league rejected it and it forced JR to stop eating.
Which clearly pissed him off enough to say look Son (guerin) this is me fixing your mess, don't let your mistakes cost me my Chang time again.
