GDT: Trade Deadline: Tampa won the Jeannot sweepstakes!

[HandshakeLine]

I don't think anyone wants him but I would be very happy if we got rid of Ruhwedel because I am tired of watching boring, borderline useless "positional" defensemen.

Feel the same way. I doubt I'd feel that way if most of the other Dmen on this team weren't "boring". Ruh was fine as a depth piece, but now I feel we collect positional defensemen like it's going out of style

One of the major issues with the roster is it's just loaded with vanilla depth pieces but doesn't have enough other kinds of role players.

Yep. Been saying this about the forward group as well, particularly the players we've assembled for the bottom six.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It blows my mind that Ruhwedel's been around for like 7 years. Dude's like an extra that appears in the background of every episode, sometimes having a big enough part to make a fool out of himself before going back to the background.

It’s so f***ing stupid.

so many dull people on this roster. i would rather see some variance if we are going to end up at mediocre anyways

Right? At the very least give me something to be excited about with the game.

fire sullivan, bench ruhwedel, tell po to go out there and do whatever feels good

Leafs loading up. They will be the team to watch this playoffs

 

[Pens x]

We have to live vicariously through other teams at the deadline with lazy ass Hextall ruining…I mean running this team.

 

[Giskard]

This Pens are going nowhere if they don't fix the goalie problem. It would be stupid to trade for the usual forward if you have DeSmith as n°1. We need a 1B goalie to platoon with Jarry (if he ever came back), like we did with Vokoun. If you don't fix it, just be a seller at the TDL and hope for the best.

I don't even think trading for a top flight goalie even helps this team going forward the way the entire bottom 6 and blueline are playing. It's just throwing good money after bad.

they found their replacement center for when Matthews heads to Arizona.

 

[Pens x]

I’m surprised we have this thread open since no other teams are making trades yet.

They’re going to need a goalie for next season unless they’re “just throwing good money” at Jarry, which they shouldn’t…so trade for someone with term now if a goalie is available…may not be a panacea for this season but going to have to plan for the future…

I didn't believe there were 12 Nick Spalings in the whole league until they all ended up on our roster.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

RW has a trade proposal for yinz…lol

HockeyBuzz.com - Ryan Wilson - Do the Penguins Vrana score more goals?

Ryan Wilson is a butt nugget, and hockeybuzz is diaherria.

You know what we could use?

Some Nick Spaling, maybe add Riley Sheehan. Carter Rowney is probably not too busy either.

The Craig Adams of defensemen, except he at least least gets healthy scratched.

 

[BillyOcean]

Let's just come out and say that the team should be selling so Uncle G can hand it Bedard.

Sullivan would find a way to ruin him by playing him with Carter and giving him 90% D-zone starts.

I don’t think it’s possible we fall into the lottery this year.

I think they could get a 0.02% lottery slot pretty easy

You just send him to WBS

He's a perfect #7. Makes less than 1M. Can sit in the press box for long stretches and still look ok when he comes back. Good teammate. Happy to fill his role.

What sucks is when a guy gets hurt and we don't promote a guy like Smith because we don't have cap or Sully just doesn't want to play him
