Confirmed with Link: Trade deadline thread

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Alright, somebody with more patience and less value of their free time throw together a write up of all the cliches, non-answers, and bullshit PR speak Kyle tosses out at the presser. I'm throwing in the towel.

Interesting side note on the Gruden trade - he's got 266 games which makes him a "vet". Stillman is still in the prospect range but will move to vet-exempt soon. That could have played a role in it maybe?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

There ARE a lot of heavy drinkers on this board

Heck I'm drunk right now!

What? Work? Yeah I'm still logged in why do you ask?

 

[Gurglesons]

They will. Trade Rakell for a first in the summer and plug in marner

I doubt it.

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Oh goddamnit I forgot you were in HR.

Um... no... this Diet Coke can is definitely not full of wine, OK?

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Says the guy pissed they didn't settle for a second for rakell..

To be fair. The Pens only have had three second round picks since the year 2000. Only ten total picks.

 

[Darren McCord]

I doubt it.

I do too. But at the same time I also think that is their plan

Hey, the last few years have been rough. You’ve earned yourself a new liver

You're having fun watching THIS?!?

Impossible. I've been watching this team since the early 90s and this is the nadir and has even chased me off watching most nights.

Some people just love to eat shit. Freaky deaky.

One down uh... wait how many of these do I get, again?

You can probably piece it together by Yohe articles and the roster building thread.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I told you lot Rakell wasn't getting moved.

Crosby is absolutely shit without him and they already f***ed over Geno moving Rakell to Sid and also shoving Rust up his ass too. You think they were going to risk losing Raks and have Sid get exposed? Lol.

It showed where their priorities stand. Instead of a proper retool/rebuild like other teams are doing, the Pens remain ignorant as shit with Sullivan and not moving Rakell because of his importance to Sid, not the team, Sid.

 

[Bishop7979]

The return for Rakell doesn't matter. He's a nothing burger.

Get out of the contract. Plug in the next guy.

If he's a nothing burger why have you been bitching for 20 pages?

Pick a lane.

 

[IcedCapp]

I remember when this was us

What’s weird is in the middle of Shero and JR trading away anything that wasn’t nailed down, we had two separate patches of having one of the best positional prospect pools in the league, first with dmen under shero and then goalies under JR.

I don’t think we maximized either situation, but I guess two cups out of Murray is probably good enough

Dubas speaking

 

[HandshakeLine]

Is he sunburnt?

 

[HandshakeLine]

Or is that just the afterglow of f***ing with Trotz for an entire day.

 

[Bishop7979]

Every year at the deadline and the opening of ufa I'm more and more convinced that there is one angry little who hasn't touched grass in the better part of a decade running about five different account simultaneously just to be obnoxious.

 

[IcedCapp]

One down uh... wait how many of these do I get, again?

Eh let’s say 1 more

 

[WickedWrister]

Q: why didn't you move Rakell
A: "Raks is a big part of our program." Long history of success bla bla bla. Mentioned the term he has.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Eh let’s say 1 more

Wait... beers or livers?

I'm way too drunk to keep up with this.

 

[WickedWrister]

Dubas: No circumstances where we needed to ask someone to waive a NTC.

"Lots of interest in Rakell, best interest for us that he remains on the team."

I’m listening. Two take always:

Dubas is dreamu

We’re going all-in this summer
