It’s the Karlsson trade that made no sense.

Yup The horse was already dead.
The Penguins have been in the decline ever since they couldn't beat us in that Covid play-in.
Had they started dismantling then they would be miles ahead of where they will be next season.
Think of the assets they could have pulled in for Crosby Malkin and Letang.
In this day and age it's no big deal giving your best players another kick at the can elsewhere while stocking the cupboard.
There really is no room for sentimentality in a Capped League.

oh it's in the same category as an unexpected error in TI. Like bro an error is always unexpected if it is expected then it's not an error it's a validation or a catch.

But it’s the Pens. Maybe their goal is to ride it out with legends, still have fans show up, then when they all retire at the same time, they will win the lottery(ies) for another generational player(s)

Not sure why people still watch TSN on TDL anymore with social media available. You get news faster and you don’t have to watch these cringe idiots try and be funny and sing stupid songs

Even when there used to be more trades on Trade Deadline day, I always found watching it to be the biggest waste of time and would feel shitty afterwards for completely wasting a day of my life. :laugh:

Can't really blame a team with Crosby and Malkin trying to stay relevent. Yeah it sucks cause we all know the horse is dead and the only realistic option is to end his suffering with a bullet in the head. They should have retooled a few years ago after trading Kessel now it's too late.

The only way to make the all day coverage interesting would be to go total goofball with it and have the panelists do a live variety show or something , occasionally interrupting the wackiness to tell us about the one trade that got made in the last hour. I wanna see Duthie juggle with bowling pins or ride a unicycle or something :P

Funny for people to shit on the Pens. We have a fanbase excited because we might finally have our first 80 point scorer since 2007-08. They’ve seen 3 Cup wins and got to watch two of the greatest players of all-time on a nightly basis in pretty much the same time frame. Now they might finally miss the playoffs for the 1st time in like 15 years. I wouldn’t care as a fan. I’d take a decade of mediocrity just to have half of that success.

Damn those rumours with Dubois to the Bruins. I don't really want him in my face during the season.

About Allen, I have the feeling teams are gonna bite but we're gonna stuck having to take some contracts in return, I feel.

They missed the playoffs last year. Still that was the first time they missed the playoffs in the last 17 years. Went to the scf 4 times during this period.
