Smyth a surprising healthy scratch for Oilers

Is he done? Could he help this team in any way in the playoffs?

He is done. He has been terrible this season.

Despres wouldn't leave the line up if I were coaching. Neither would Bortuzzo I'd probably trade orpik Letang and Martin for Clutterbuck and Seto

I see what you did there

Howson fired.... kind of a strange time to fire a GM.

Edit... Now that I think about it, Davidson probably realizes his team is a seller. Might as well let his new guy make the moves. Give him plenty of time to assess current players and possible prospects to target.

No argument here...

When's Shero getting fired for not making any moves yet

Howson's the Setoguchi of GMs. Let's get him.

It's time Penguin fans stop with the infatuation of Seto or Pierre Mark Bouchard (some goof on the HF board thinks we should give TK, a second and Maatta for those two clowns). I'm done with this topic.

They have some quality prospects, and they have 3 1st round picks this year, and John Davidson knows his poop. That franchise is in good shape for a GM to put together a decent future.

Bouchard is actually pretty good offensively if he can stay on the ice.

He has only played 97 games in the previous three years and is a UFA after the season. A huge risk Pittsburgh shouldn't even entertain.

Would you trade Maatta, a second and TK for Seto and Bouchard?

Isnt Patrick the GM now??

If so.. uh look out!

I agree. I'm glad Shero is the gm. I for one do not want to mortgage the future of the Penguins defensive core for a UFA who might help Crosby. Unless the name Eberle is involved I do not want to see a trade

He's got more concussion issues than Crosby and Letang combined.

Tiops says the Pens love Maatta and Pouliot. If true, they're not going anywhere.

I'm not even addressing anything Setoguchi related. It's asinine. Bouchard or Cullen would be the Minnesota trade targets.

I'm calling it now, we lose to Buffalo Sunday. It's just how hockey works.

Isn't Cullen a center? We need another center like we need another D prospect. Clutterbuck would be the guy IMO.

IYO, what would you pay for Bouchard?

I'm not sending a Despres or Morrow to Anaheim for Perry, who could walk as a UFA weeks later.

Lol good for him though. Its good that strait and lovejoy are doing well outside of here makes our D prospects as a whole for trade value look better. Its a stretch but worth saying lol
