Holy shit, what have they done to my boy Casey? I just set my personal pull up record the other day.

Just read over the Avs board. Apparently he's slumping BADLY and not meshing with any of their offensive talent (IE, Nuke or Rantanen or Lehkonen or even Drouin). We all know that Casey was always not the biggest volume shooter.....but apparently he's had 6 total shots his last 17 games. That's anemic.
He's also getting raked a bit for being soft on the puck......which is strange given how generally good on the puck he was here.

Meh, I'm indifferent.
I think Lafferty is a bit more physical than JP, so I'd lean towards keeping Lafferty.

That's going to be a interesting one. How is his pk ? Guessing not great.
800K on the salary. Seems like a Jost type move.

I think he had a decent, but not great defensive reputation a few years ago
He's got the 4th best goal differential on the Pens, despite the 4th fewest Ozone starts. 3rd fewest high danger chances against

I'm over "taking flyers" on players.
Go out and fix the damn team.

Y'all have to much power
Hell no, keep Byram and get Casey back at a discount. 5.75 for the next two years for a 4th line center ...

Nah his stock has dropped. Not trading Byram for a 4th liner. I'll give em a 2nd like we did for Malenstyn and keep both Mitts and Byram though!
EDIT: somehow missed the post right above mine, but I concur

Unfortunately, Kevyn Adams can only taking flyers on players and that's rare, he is not able to fix this team.
Finnish Gus. I'd be game to give him a whirl. That likely means they have to waive someone else and disrupt choir practice or their bake sale or whatever this week's bible study discussion would be, so that's probably not going to happen.
Edit - weird that he doesn't PK, and I don't mean he doesn't PK much, but he hasn't put in a second PKing in two years. He has under 2 minutes of PKing going back 5 seasons. Total. For a guy down the lineup, what is the utility in that? Heh. Weird.

Adams needs to get off his ass and get Pettersson from Vancouver before another eastern conference team is able to steal him.
The risk is in picking up that contract. I don't see Adams being willing to absorb that risk even if it paid off with EP returning to form from years prior.
I would still float Power for Pettersson, one-for-one. Vancouver gets a puck mover while Hughes is on the mend who can then move back into Quinn's shadow when Hughes comes back while saving 4-ish million against the cap. Buffalo sorta fixes their 2C issue by making Thompson their 2C.

It is not very clear what our defense will look like then and whether Byram will remain in the near future. Do we want to keep the pair Dahlin - Byram or for example put Byram in the second pair and find RD for him, and put Sammy with Dahlin. But in general I am not against, we need such a player.

Allvin's quote makes me think EP has real health issues and a hard time playing through pain. Used car salesman vibes are strong with this one.
Healthy EP is what we need.

Just a fyi, this is Blowing up in Vancouver and its 11 PM in the evening.
If Petey really is available, would require quite a Haul for him.
They almost had a deal last year with Carolina for Necas, Kotka a top prospect (Morrow) and a 1st.
They forced Petey's hand to sign or they trade, and he signed.
I dono what the Buffalo Equivalent would be, but IMO I would do it for Peterka, Byram and a Protected 1st.
Would you guys?

I imagine that one of Cozens or Power would have to be part of any trade to balance out the cap hits...
...or Tage. I honestly think I would make that trade. It would make me sad to do it, but I think the team would be a more complete team with the swap.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is any chance at all that Terry approves taking on another 11+M dollar contract. In fact, I feel rather strongly that the noise about a Detroit trade is Adams targeting Kasper and looking to move some longterm payroll. Maybe Cozens or Sammy, or possibly avoiding paying Quinn or Peterka.
Hoping I am wrong, but I feel like some payroll going out is almost inevitable at this point.

I think I'm cool with one premium piece and then some stuff added.

Well, Power and Cozens' contracts scare me too, so it works both ways. I'm just evaluating the player and his skill. I think Pettersson is the player we need right now. He's not like Tage or Cozens, he's a proven 1C and fits our core age-wise. He's a great 2-way C who can play defense, he can lead the line, be a playmaker, and shoot. Of course they need to check his card/health before making a deal, but in terms of need and lack of NMC/NTC, he's a very good option and guys like that rarely get traded. Eichel was probably the last one I can remember.
