Why hasn't SLEEPY GM done anything yet?

 

[SEALBound]

At least he didn't sign Jankowski and ERod but with this trade, he will surely sink this team! SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

[KIRK]

Live look in at Ron Hextall in the Pens trade war room . . .

 

[SEALBound]

Do you think Hextall prefers PF Changs or Panda Express?

In the ultimate full circle fantasy, Hextall orders Panda Express because he knows he gonna be up all night working the phones. He orders on Grubhub. The delivery guy shows up but doesn't leave right away. Surprised, two other guys look into Hextall's office to find him chatting with the delivery guy. It's hard to make out what they are saying but the summary is "Okay, JR made too many trades and signed two guys for league min and ruined the team. I don't want to ruin the team...so exactly...PRECISELY...how many trades am I allowed to make to make you happy and not wreck the team? We are down to the wire here". The delivery guy freezes. He turns around a tremble can be seen on his lip and a tear beginning for form. He sprints out of the room unable to control his increasing emotions. Hextall looks stunned and annoyed. He shakes his head and gets back on the phones as he opens his bag of food. The two guys watching look at each other. "Who the f*** what that?" one asks. "No clue. Looked like a Panda Express delivery driver?" "what was his name?" "I don't know, I saw his name tag but I all I could make out was
'Pens Y' or 'Pens K'. Something like that."

My theory is, he didn't like JR because JR preferred PF Changs over Panda Express.

I'll keep harping on the mix of that 2nd line (especially since McCann has been unreal at center) until something falls into place or doesn't. If anything at forward is the potential weak point, it'll be 2LW imo.

I think we should make a push to find that guy tomorrow. No idea how or who to target outside of the default boom/bust guy in Bennett, but yeah.

So Burke and Hextall each want a pet? What is this...

 

[Gurglesons]

Getzlaf and Carter seems like a whole lotta please don’t.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Getzlaf and Carter seems like a whole lotta please don’t.

Hey, it worked for Team Canada at the 2010 and 2014 Olympics. Who are we to complain?

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Getzlaf and Carter seems like a whole lotta please don’t.

I'll wait until someone reputable reports Getzlaf.

 

[Tender Rip]

Getzlaf and Carter seems like a whole lotta please don’t.

Guentzel Sid Rust
McCann Malkin Kappy
Zucker Getzlaf Carter
ZAR Blue Tanev

Hmmm.

 

[Trade]

Having Getzlaf and Carter would be pretty hilarious.

 

[SEALBound]

Imagine telling someone from 2015 this...Carter traded to Pit...looking into Getzlaf...

 

[madinsomniac]

Carter supposedly is still pretty fast, but ill take that with a grain of salt until I see ot on this team... Western conference fans often mistake “not a pylon” for fast....

if he still has speed he won’t be a bad add

OTR: New Trade Deadline Drivers; Getzlaf Quiet | PHN+

@dogthateats This article was posted 15 hours ago, before the Carter trade. Are there any other publications saying we're still hunting after this deal got done?

"In Pittsburgh, Hextall and team president Brian Burke are said to now be focusing their interests on Anaheim’s Ryan Getzlaf. Allegedly, Burke, who was the Ducks GM when they won the 2007 Stanley Cup, is waiting to see if his former center will waive his No Movement Clause to come to the Penguins. Even if the 35-year-old center agrees to play for the Penguins over the final month of the season and through the playoffs, he’s on an expiring contract and could return to Anaheim in just a few months."

OK. Cheers. Now I got a reason to watch the deadline tomorrow.

So we've used up 1.4 mil of LTIR and are still hunting. Does this mean Geno's out til the playoffs?

according to this he can come back as long as we put someone on the taxi squad

Not if we get Getzlaf though. I'm pretty skeptical but it does sound like something Burke would want...

 

[madinsomniac]

Meh unless Malkin is done for the season i will not like a Getzlaf trade at all... I feel like he will cost something significant and while he can Pk, he is absolutely a pass first playmaker and frankly we need more finishing than more pretty passes
