Saw Agostino play at Yale. He isn't bad. Hankowski is better than Agostino IMO. Still, not a prospect among our top 10 heading into this season.

I guess Shero doesn't have to show up for the draft this year.
- Oneonta Penguin

Until Letang is traded.....

Winger for sid- check

Dupes will bring speed and skill to the third line... Glass will be waived

Shero's asset management is off the charts.

Wonder if he will try to get picks for jeffrey or whoever...

Do we have a full roster now? Is despres and bennett going back down?

I would try to get fifth and sixth round picks for Engelland and Jeffrey

This is true. How he made this deal without giving up a primary D prospect is beyond me.

Feaster is an easy read now. He has a fetish with US College hockey players

Not for long if they do. April 3rd will be here very soon and the rosters will open up completely.

Wait.... what the hell happened last night?

Shero is playing with loaded dice or something, that deal wasn't good for Calgary.

This will either be the most fun Cup run to watch, or the biggest disappointment since 1993.

I'm leaving in a few hours to head back to Pgh for the Easter weekend. This worked out well lol

Totally get choosing pitty. If he went to bos he would have to be recchi and take over the leadership of the team(see Bos never winning anything without him despite having the sme team) and here he just has to score goals. Far less pressue here for him IMO. Hopefully this many new bodies doesnt hurt the chemestry the pens have going.

Oh ya, this. Iggy.......... Iggy........... Iggy

I cannot believe this went down.

And I cannot believe it went down without the assets I was against giving up for him.

I honestly did not think this kind of trade was even in the realm of possibility. Never underestimate Feaster (even if his hands were tied).

Gunner you sound so in shock right now.. Haha

Love ur tweets btw...

No (frank)ing way...for Agostino & Hanowski & a 1st...

WOW

This team is comparable to the 90's cup team

- SayWhat...NoWay

I would almost say theyre further ahead of the rest of the nhl than the 90s teams were. No stacked teams like this anymore in the NHL lol love it. Now they just have to go out and do it

Got these off of Spectors site from yesterday...absolutely hysterical after this mornings events.

SPORTSNET.CA: Mark (no relation) Spector reports the Flames want goalie Malcolm Subban as part of the return from the Boston Bruins for Jarome Iginla, but Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli refuses to part with him…He claims Flames GM Jay Feaster has approached the LA Kings about backup Jonathan Bernier. Spector believes Bernier and a first round pick would “make Iginla a King”…Penguins GM Ray Shero won’t part with the draft picks to land Iginla but will stay in the bidding to drive up the asking price for the Bruins…The Blackhawks are internally discussing the cost of a rental player and if Iginla could play left wing. Chicago hasn’t made an offer nor have the Flames named their asking price, but the ‘Hawks won’t part with Brandon Saad.

SPECTOR’S NOTE:
I don’t see how the Penguins can land Iginla without giving up a couple of quality prospects. Stranger things have happened, and the Flames could panic and lower their asking price, but still, it wouldn’t surprise me if Shero just wants to make things difficult for the Bruins. As for the Blackhawks, while I can understand their interest, I don’t think they need Iginla when their most obvious need is depth at center. Besides, Iginla reportedly doesn’t want to be a rental player, and the ‘Hawks can’t afford to keep him beyond this season. For that matter, neither can the the Penguins, Bruins and Kings.


Emphasis on "quality prospects" Talk about driving up the speculation

Gunner you sound so in shock right now.. Haha

Still hard to fathom, I'm speechless.

I guess Feaster just decided to look out for the best interests of Iginla (rather than Calgary and Iginla). It appears, at first glance, that it was Pittsburgh or no-where.

Iginla chose Pitt for everyone who says we lose out on every free agent who wants to play with Crosby. Iginla actually does

Whats going to be interesting is what does Iginla do after the season is over. If successful will he take his ring and head back to Alberta, retire, stay, play the market? This trade along with Morrows are going to be stories that will keep on giving message board fodder for months to come.

Yep, interesting days ahead.

Just be prepared Pens fans, to the rest of league, we're now the Miami Heat. Talk about pressure come playoff time.

Will be a big change from the constant love we recieve fromt he other fans around the NHL

Iginla chose here to play with Crosby, I am fairly confident in saying that.

It seems Jerome chose us.
