GDT: TRADE DEADLINE - Pittsburgh Penguins Only

Marleau managed to make me believe everything Roenick has said about him. Which is incredible because I think Roenick is an idiot.

Seeing Marleau take the ice last like he was some kind of leader is an all time cringe mark in this team’s history.

What did he say about him?

 

[Gurglesons]

Guarantee we hear something about Malkin set back tomorrow.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Im having JR ptsd and hoping we didnt POJ and a 2nd or some shit.

 

[SomeDude]

Guy has played all 3 F positions over the last few years and PK’s a bit now too. This ain’t your Philly version of Jeff Carter.

I like it.

 

[K Fleur]

What did he say about him?

Basically that Marleau is a no heart loser. Which is exactly how he played here.

 

[McGroarty2]

He's a 4th line player, he would probably be the first one to tell you.

Saw him play in Montreal, he's not going to take a shift off, very hard working player but I agree with Hextall if the rumors are true, not overpaying for him

What rumors?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Stop.

 

[Andy99]

Crosby, McCann, Blueger. I guess Malkin is out until the end of the season.

I don’t think seriously of McCann at center except for short stints in case of injury

 

[TimmyD]

We're getting Carter? WTF?

That can’t be true...he doesn’t fit what Hextall and Burke said about wanting to add sandpaper...this is super unrealistic and can’t happen

 

[tom_servo]

Wow. Very intriguing.

 

[Gurglesons]

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

Seems like a done deal. Fingers crossed this isn't some "what the f*** were you thinking" trade.

 

[Darren McCord]

nooooooo also still doesn't make sense. they cant afford him next year unless more comes.

 

[Gurglesons]

Stop.

Why else are we dealing for Carter unless we are getting picks back on top of it?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

That can’t be true...he doesn’t fit what Hextall and Burke said about wanting to add sandpaper...this is super unrealistic and can’t happen

Lmaooo. Common sense!

He will do for the time being. Anyway welcome to Pittsburgh! i'll give him a look before I get angry at the trade unless we gave up a lot.

Wtf bro i wanted to go to bed

Why do you guess that? I've been saying for a few weeks I bet they go for a C/W because (a) they can slide McCann to L2 LW without screwing over Zucker's line and (b) it gives them another option to slide to L2 LW if McCann doesn't work like before at L2 LW (McCann goes to L3 C).

I mean, THINK about it . . . if Geno were done, Hextall wouldn't be shopping for a C. He'd ride the guys he has and hope for some luck,

EDIT: If you want to say 'insurance in case Geno's recovery takes an extra week', THAT I'd get, but 'he's done so let's get Jeff Carter' can't even be rationalized.

Details please. I got agita from JR's days.

Ya there not gone knee jerk and get Carter if Malkin is out long term. if anything I feel they would be less active

How much you wanna bet we don't.

I told you a few weeks ago they wanted McCann at L2 LW and Zucker on his own line (whether McCann worked on L2 or not) and they love BART.
