How's your "brother" doing???

lol...you say that like you don't believe my "brother" exists

Oh lord,

Ek is starting the Yandle to Pens rumor again.

This won't happen. We are a bad trade match for Phoenix for Yandle. Maloney isn't as dumb as Tambo in Edmonton; Joe N in Dallas; Feaster in Calgary; Sather in New York.

If somehow this happens, which I think I'm more likely to be named the President of the Maldive Islands before this, it would signify Letang will be moved at the draft.

There are three names he has had associated with Pittsburgh for the last two or three years and Hemsky, JJ and Yandle aren't on the roster.

WE all know that, but why does Ek feel the need to keep bringing it up???

He is looking for hits to the site. Not using simple logic makes him look like an idiot.

Pens get Jussi Jokinen? WHY?

We got Jussi Jokinen. Why didn't we just claim him last week?

Jussi Jokinen a Pen!

Maybe they're eating some salary. Let's hope!

Does Jussi play centre, and play it well?

Canes are eating salary.

We probably gave up what we got in return for Big Dog,a seventh rounder. Too bad shootouts aren't in the play-offs. We would have landed a solid option.

OK - the last player from Finland to suit up for the Pens in more than 10 games was??? Janne Pessonen didn't have that many games IIRC. Maybe Ville Siren?

Perhaps the Pens are in just to make the price of Yandle go up. We all know Philly is trying to get him.

What was I saying all along?

Jussi Jokinen would be a good acquisition for DEPTH. He'll fill that Sykora/Satan role.

For a conditional pick. Hopefully the condition is that he scores a shootout goal in the playoffs.

You're the smartest person i know.

$3 mil next season and we didn't claim him... I'm hoping that the Canes eat some of his salary.

I gotta say, IF we can stay healthy I like the team that we have right now. That's a pretty big IF tho.

The gamesmanship in deals like this is sort of funny - especially when you are talking about these two franchises. Philly DOESN'T have the assets to acquire Yandle and Pittsburgh is a bad match-up to acquire him as Phoenix doesn't need D prospects. Everyone knows this.

To be fair I think you named every player in the league as a good acquisition at some point.

This is an un-shero like move. Interesting.

You mean the under-achiever scratched role....

In fairness, you've named about 85% of the players in the league as good fits here.
