Confirmed with Link: Tomasino to PIT for '27 4th round pick

Come on, now, the guy is tanking.

Not on purpose but one can't have everything.

No, it's very much on purpose. Why try to be mediocre, where does that get us? We're close to bottom of the league, we just need to keep it going!

Good point, sxpervrt

Yep, he's got it right.

People are like "Just keep going Dubas!" and I find that unbelievable.

Dubas has absolutely destroyed this roster in record time. It's actually insane

He's made some awful moves but to be fair we knew this team was close to cratering. That it happened maybe a year or two earlier than expected is not the worst thing considering the talent available in the next few drafts. He's ultimately going to be judged for the rebuild and on that side he's doing ok so far.

The Penguins' roster is starting to sound like a bunch of artisan cheeses.

The problem is a team like this should be selling more and using more cheap options like Puljujarvi, Puustinen, Poulin, Gruden, Ponomarev, etc. But instead the coach prioritizes using as many vets as possible. So Tomasino comes in and is already f***ed in that regard. Especially with a coach that can't develop for shit.

Meanwhile the two in Nashville he played for, actually did develop youth and their issue with him was work ethic. Sullivan is even worse for chances.
