I just cannot see a bidding war for those guys.
That’s why I don’t think it’s that bad.

I don’t think I’d have been super happy if we did Raty and a 3rd for Duclair. Or one upped Carolina’s offer for Guentzel - which Rossi is hinting will make pens fans happy. I don’t want to pay the Toffoli price at all.

If this is the current market I'd like our team to sit tight and not do anything stupid.

A fair few deals have been pretty cheap (Hanifin, Duhaime) and I would have paid those prices in a heartbeat. Others not so much.

I’m not a fan of Duclair especially since the Achilles injury and don’t think he would have fit in a Rick Tocchet team.

If this is the case then I'm on board but if there's 3 teams making non-lowball offers on Zucker, I doubt he's going to come cheap, especially with retention cost factored in.

I think he's a 3rd line winger, which is useful to have but not a guy who's going to make a significant impact. There's probably some less heralded players out there that don't have multiple teams making offers on that could have a similar impact. I'd rather see Allvin/JR make some sneaky moves like that instead of chasing ex-Pens and potentially paying more than what's necessary for that caliber of player.

We had our deadline moves early this season with Lindholm and Zadorov. We shot our shot and used up most of our extraneous assets.

One thing that's clear is GMs don't give a shit about 6th round or 7th round picks and fringe prospects (aside from that loser Conroy).

You are severely limited unless you have a deep prospect pool.

Thompson is a good prospect who would probably be top-5 in our system.

Duclair went for more than Tarasenko.

That no movement clause really knocked his value down. When push came to shove he said he’d only waive for Florida.

Spoken like a true master scout.

Eberle was looking to extend in Seattle but term was a hang up. Could be dealt if not able to work the details out.

How close is D-Petey to playing for us? I know there was a report that he would be headed to Abby relatively soon but will he need a year or two there before he's ready to crack our lineup or is he closer than that?
