We’ll post all trade deadline stuff here. If/when the Pens make a trade and it’s confirmed, a separate thread can be created for that.

So the Kings are now healthy scratching both Spence and Clarke. Mess of a franchise, neither of those guys should be getting scratched.

I've obviously been vocal about wanting Clarke, but I think I'd ultimately be pretty satisfied with a Spence and Greentree package for Rakell as well.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Spence has played very well this year from what I can tell so it makes no sense that he's being scratched.

IMO they should just move Gavrikov to LD and have both Spence and Clarke playing. Go with something like:

Gavrikov-Doughty
Anderson-Spence
Edmundson-Clarke

The return on the Karlsson trade was pathetic!!!!! Thanks DubAss

(I'm just reserving my spot for tomorrow)

Anderson - Gavrikov has been the best defensive pairing in the league this year. That's why they aren't breaking it up.

That gives them Edmundson - Doughty. And then they are swaping Clarke and Spence in.

Pretty sure our coach wouldn't do any better...

Dubas seems content with his thumbs up his butt. Why is he adding like wtf?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Rakell would instantly be every team's top goal scoring guy outside of 10 teams; Edmonton, Toronto, Winnipeg, Boston, Tampa, Washington, Florida, Montreal, Buffalo and Detroit.

The price for Rantanen's gonna be huge *and* the team needs to have a deal ready to go to sign him, likely north of $13M AAV.

It's pretty much Rakell, or a longshot for Boeser, if you're a team looking to load up for a playoff push or deep playoff run.

Don't f*** this up, Dubas. You have to take advantage of the season Rakell's having, and the insane market atm.

Spence has been up and down this year, but when he's been down he's been real down. I like Spence but it feels like LA is trying everything they can to prioritize clarkes potential over Spence and I could see them sending Spence out either at the deadline or at the draft to open the door 100 percent for Clarke.

I really like Greentree but can't see them parting with him, even for rackell who would be their leading scorer.

Looking over their team page, I can't believe their most productive defender as twenty less points than EK does this year...

If you somehow added rackell and ek to the kings roster they would be dangerous this year in the playoffs.

Neat, going to bed now.

 

[eXile3]

Riley Smith moves a lot.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Our 2028 draft is going to be sick.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Rantanen is confirmed not signing a deal with LA.

Rakell to LA now?

 

[farscape1]

Pens need to trade all of their good players for all of their bad players. Lets Tank this thing.

 

[Andy99]

I mean we have no one on waivers so we can’t have too many forwards or D we can trade without being at a deficit, one each by my calculations assuming Novak and Schenn are available to play Friday…that means all of Beau, Acciari, and Rakell won’t be traded…maybe only one of them…and probably not both of Grz and Schenn

 

[HandshakeLine]

We go live to Kyle Dubas preparing to address the media:

 

[pensfan71]

When does WBS play next? We can probably see their lines tonight and see who may be coming up for tomorrow's game...aka Nieto lol

I am shocked you're just making stuff up in your head to complain about

Kyle Dubas is a few 5th round acquisitions from turning this around

The 2029 draft is going to be deep.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Tbh my gut feeling is that they don't end up trading Rakell, even though the market is absolutely insane for him
