There are stooges in the media actually making that argument.. Madden, Mackey and Caufield are a few that I heard.................obtuse.Holding onto a peak value Rakell in one of the craziest sellers markets in a while would be the epitome of penguins hockey. Can't wait to trade him next year for 2034 3rd after he puts up 12 goals and 16 assists.
Probably depends on when the list was submitted. Regardless, Wpg is almost certainly on the list.I wonder who the 8 teams are on Rakells no trade list...
He is probably negotiating with Rutger McGroarty on No. 2, and Rutger is asking for a Brett Baty return to give it up.I find it interesting that Schenn still hasn't been assigned a number yet, when Novak immediately was given #18.

It's Yohe, and I know--dude sucks, but he's said multiple times interest in Rakell is significant and Dubas has a number of teams calling. I think the hold up is teams waiting to see what Rantanen's situation ends up being (cuz why wouldn't you throw your offers at that guy first) and maybe waiting to see what happens on the Boeser front before going back to Rakell.With regards to Rakell - there has been essentially zero talk about interest in Rakell. There might not have been any offers for Rakell yet, much less any "no-brainer good deals." It's possible that all the GMs who are willing to send out insane offers have made their trades, and the remaining GMs aren't willing to pay that much. It's not worth getting that worked up over, really.
In terms of Schenn, well, it's probably nothing, but I can't help but notice that the Pens have given Novak a number already, but not Schenn: Pittsburgh Penguins 2024 - 2025 Roster | Pittsburgh Penguins
If I was forced to make a bet, I'd say they don't move Schenn, but I don't think they've ruled out the possibility, either.
First, a quick reminder: we often have several trades that don't get announced until after 3pm, due to the teams being in the phone queue with the NHL at the deadline. Once all of those finish trickling out, I expect we'll see Grzelyck and Beauvillier will have been traded. I seem to recall Ruhwedel was a last minute trade last year, after all, and those two are definitely "missed out on everything else" sort of moves for the playoff teams. I'm not convinced any other moves will be made in the end - they could easily be cases of "things just didn't work out in time."
If Rantanen to DAL goes thru with big extension
I’d be all over whoever gets squeezed. Prob Robertson but maybe Johnston?
I'm guessing EDM, CAL, WIN, DET, CHI, NYR, NJD, NYII wonder who the 8 teams are on Rakells no trade list...
We might trade Acciari, Grz, and Beau. Or none of them. Also Rakell's garnered significant interest. But also nobody wants Rakell. But hey we got Luke Schenn and Dubas was signing praises of his leadership qualities, so that's nice for a team full of 35+ year old players.How’s the plan looking Dubamaniacs?
Sully has his skates in his bag. He gonna show the boys a thing or two!Only about a 1 hour flight from LA to Vegas. Clarke has plenty of time to make it.
He can play LW, right?
I just assumed he would be 67, between 68 and 66 to match a man of his talents.I find it interesting that Schenn still hasn't been assigned a number yet, when Novak immediately was given #18.
I hear a certain local reporter prefers his bird in his hand while there's two in his wife's.....oh, nevermind damn it.Chris Johnston on trade centre was discussing Rakell and said the internal debate in Pittsburgh is that his contract might make him even more valuable at the draft or next deadline when the cap is higher.
I hope that's just Dubas negotiating in the media. I've always preferred a bird in the hand to two in the bush.
Not surprising. Seems like it’s the new norm. Will probably get a bunch of them crammed through at 3 when teams realize they’ve got the best offers they’re going to get.Deadline day so dead, TSN has been doing a segment on Ovechkin for like 10 minutes now
How’s the plan looking Dubamaniacs?
