GDT: TRADE DEADLINE - Pittsburgh Penguins Only

[66-30-33]

Ehh we have done well in the 3rd. I hope its not both.

3rd if we win cup, 4th if we win round 1 probably.

 

[KIRK]

I like this deal a hell of a lot more than stupid Marleau... can slide 2/3rd lines and C and wing gives options. At the low cost I’m cool with it.

Okay, then we're on the same page (low risk, gives Sully flexibility) . . . now what does OC Heel Persona say?

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

Seems like the hold up is that theres a 3rd team holding another chunk of Carters contract?

Apparently Columbus still hold some retention on his contract, idk why that would hold up the deal though. Weird

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Better to "go all in" now rather than later, with how Sid and Geno are aging. And before we lose one of Zucker, Blueger, Tanev, or McCann to the expansion draft

It's not the big swing I wanted, but it's more than I expected from Hex.

Not gonna bitch.

That's coincidental. I don't think you bank on this team repeating the absurdly low chances of finding guys, impact NHLers no less, in the mid-rounds.

I bet its a game played next year thing to. incase he retires.

I wonder if LA is eating about half and another team is eating about half so the cap hit is around 1.5M. I'd like the deal a lot in that scenario.

He just didn't like being called "sleepy"


Fr though, I think its an intriguing move

Think he's a guy we can rely on to not ghost in the playoffs too. Big opportunity for him and he's got all the experience.

Zucker and Petts for Getz.

2021 pens the early retirement tour.

you forgot the new assistant mike Richards coming in for the playoffs.

I dunno what it would cost for him but after we trade for Marleau and add the old men.

Seeing Richards and Carter in a cup Photo with the Pens, Sid, and Geno would be some real twilight zone shit

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I still worry about the mix on line 2. I'm confident Geno and Kap can find their timings again and work well, but that line needs something McCann isn't gonna bring to it, imo. Not unless you're asking Kap to shift to a breakaway threat, two-way, gruntwork kind of guy and letting McCann be the production driver.

 

[KIRK]

I prefer Carter at the speculated cost over Foligno at what Toronto paid for him.

Marleau-Getzlaf-Carter

Then Carter becomes your Plan B.

Thissssssss!!!

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Worried about turning a guy into Marleau by asking too much of him, that's the problem there.

And yeah, I know Marleau was basically toasted when he got here, but I'd be wary about putting too much on Carter's plate.

Zucker-McCann-Carter
ZAR-TB-Tanev

That's an ideal bottom-6, though I'd prefer to give Tanev to Geno+Kap and run someone like E-Rod or Zoho on the 4th in that spot--we've talked about the Sullivan issue with that.
