GDT: TRADE DEADLINE - Pittsburgh Penguins Only

[Andy99]

I don't think this means Geno's had a setback. Maybe someone from the bottom-6 is dealt for a depth blueliner?

Really don't know where Carter fits. Cost aside, whatever, where do you play the guy?

third line center or RW

 

[Kristopher Letang]

 

[KIRK]

McCann- Malkin - Kap
Zucker - TB - Carter

I would LOVE that move. LOVE it.

EDIT: It will NOT happen.

 

[tom_servo]

The obvious plan B after Deslauriers.

 

[Ryder71]

Is he playing more center than Wing?

 

[66-30-33]

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.

I meant insurance. It's the Pens, any and everything happens and rehappens.

 

[Turin]

Doesn’t sound like anything of value was given up and I’d rather a washed up Carter for a little than a washed up Foligno for a lot.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

How long until @Pens x comes in guns blazing and whining bout “sleepy” Hextall trading for a former Flyer?

5...4...3...2...1...

 

[TimmyD]

I'm thinking PLAN A is McCann-Malkin-Kap and Zucker-Carter-EROD

IF McCann doesn't fly there, then McCann and Carter flip as PLAN B.

They don't think Malkin and Zucker work as far as I've gathered.

I’m hoping plan A is
Jake Sid Rust
McCann Malkin Kapanen
Zucker Blueger Carter
ZAR Gaudreau Tanev

 

[Darren McCord]

I would LOVE that move. LOVE it.

EDIT: It will NOT happen.

Same and I know. More like
BART
Zucker - Lafferty - Carter

 

[KIRK]

third line center or RW

Options:

McCann-Malkin-Kap
Zucker-Carter-EROD
BART

Carter-Malkin-Kap
Zucker-Carter-EROD
BART

McCann-Malkin-Kap
Zucker-Teddy-Carter
ZAR-GOAT-Tanev

I really prefer option 3, truth be told. I don't expect it . . . I think they like EROD more than GOAT, but that's 100% a guess.

 

[Gurglesons]

Yep.

 

[Darren McCord]

Jake Sid Rust
McCann Malkin Kapanen
Zucker Blueger Carter
ZAR Gaudreau Tanev

Gaudreau is out so probably erod

 

[Malkinstheman]

Hextall has talked a bunch about trying to rebuild the cupboard so I cant imagine the cost was much

 

[AuroraBorealis]

He still shoots a lot, which I like seeing on a team like ours. 3 per game.

 

[End of Line]

I was certainly not expecting this, well done

 

[KIRK]

I meant insurance. It's the Pens, any and everything happens and rehappens.

If Malkin is out, there's no point to the insurance. I think the 'insurance' is to give Sullivan more options so Zucker with Malkin doesn't have to be Plan B (or Plan C).

 

[Gurglesons]

I’m hoping it’s Jankowski and a conditional pick depending on playoff games.

 

[StaalForOne]

Sure, why not. He can play some positions and we all know how fluid the lineup can be. More flexibility for the middle 6. As long as the price is right I like it.

 

[SEALBound]

Wow...I did not see that one coming. I want the Jeff Carter from 5-6 years ago. Now? Boy, no idea.

 

[66-30-33]

I don't mind it. Do 50% retention for conditional picks. I guess next step is get the other guy that said he wont move (Getzlaf) LOL!!!!

 

[Gurglesons]

If Malkin is out, there's no point to the insurance. I think the 'insurance' is to give Sullivan more options so Zucker with Malkin doesn't have to be Plan B (or Plan C).

Not saying Malkin is out, out. Just maybe out longer than anticipated.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Throw some scraps to Calgary for Bennett. A 3rd + Sceviour or Riikola?

Jake-Sid-Rust
Bennett-Geno-Kap
Zucker-McCann-Carter
ZAR-TB-Tanev

Swap Bennett and Tanev if you want. I don't hate that?

 

[McGroarty2]

Gaudreau is out so probably erod

I’m guessing a 4th line Center is also acquired.

 

[Turin]

Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
McCann-Malkin-Kapanen
Zucker-Carter-Rodrigues
ZAR-Blueger-Tanev

That’s a good team, if Hex is done.

 

[TimmyD]

Options:

McCann-Malkin-Kap
Zucker-Carter-EROD
BART

Carter-Malkin-Kap
Zucker-Carter-EROD
BART

McCann-Malkin-Kap
Zucker-Teddy-Carter
ZAR-GOAT-Tanev

I really prefer option 3, truth be told. I don't expect it . . . I think they like EROD more than GOAT, but that's 100% a guess.

Hell even if the bottom six was

Zucker Teddy Carter
ZAR ERod Tanev

I wouldn’t hate that 4th line. I don’t like ERod and want him out of the lineup but if he’s your 4c then so be it. He is serviceable there
