Or he could play 20 minutes a night with Sidney Crosby…lol

He's not ready yet. lol

 

[Andy99]

He's not ready yet. lol

He could be…let’s find out

 

[Ryder71]

He could be…let’s find out

Let's not and say we did, how 'bout that one?

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Told y’all…

I say let him go back and crush it. Never wanted him in the A.

 

[Ryder71]

Still haven't signed him.

Trying to have a calorie surplus while trying to be a professional hockey player has to be hard.

I'd find a way....

Some of their pre-game meals have to be like 1500-1800 calories. Doesn’t Karlsson put ranch dressing and ketchup on just a huge plate of pasta?

 

[Andy99]

Good…we need you…

For what? For the long term viability of this team it's best the dinosaurs leave 1st, or are on their very last legs. If you're trying to hold out hope Yager can help sneak us into the post season you're expecting too much too soon. Yagers impact will likely not start to be felt to any large degree until '26.

[The Old Master]

yager was dominant last year I think once a guy is drafted a team should be able to put them in their minor leagues if they and the player agree to it. I think if he has a nice preseason give him that 9 game tryout in the NHL to at least see what the pros do and how they act and prepare for games.

sully will play him a whole 2.00 min. in each of those games on the forth line.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I only just noticed earlier today that Hamaliuk and Nickl haven't been retained. Pretty sure they were in the bottom fifth of my list. No major losses, but I wish them the best.

 

[Ulf5]

Seems like Pickering grew a tiny bit? I remember all the draft stuff saying he was around 6'3 or 6'4 I think

There are plenty of teams who have been icing raw/incomplete players because they desire a specific skillset the player has. If that kid can beat NHL goalies, he should get a chance.

 

[chethejet]

Yager probably back to juniors and next year in WB would allow for maturing both mentally and physically. He can add another 10 pounds or more and be ready for prime time as number 2 center by then. Pens added RH D up the kazoo this draft. Next draft RW's if there is where the need is.

 

[Jacob]

Let’s just sign him and send him to WB/S. What are they gonna do, call the cops?

If you're agenda is to gain a few points throughout the season, maybe. I want us to plummet. Save him for next season after we get a top 8 pick.

How about just sign him, period?

Easier when you retire

 

[Gurglesons]

Pickering putting on as much size as he has is a good sign.

Very curious to see how he looks out of camp.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Guentzel's as smart and consistent as wingers come. I'd throw my lot in with him over a guy the same age who cracked 60 points twice any time.

170+ pts across 3 seasons isn't some fluke.

When you retire? Mate you forget when he showed up to the Blues training camp over weight?

So you will actively root against the Pens this season?

Once Sullivan makes those elite adjustments to his game he can be our career #7.
