Yes, I think Schenn should be on the wing. He doesn't have the defensive chops to play center.

That's high. Dumping Meszaros would give them about 4.3M to work with.
- MJL


5.7M is after accounting for Pronger going on LTIR and the bonus cushions for Schenn, Couturier and Laughton.

Giroux, Lecavalier, Gagne, Couturier, Talbot, Gervais, and our newest member of the family Samuel Morin.
On the back end: Grossmann, Gustafsson, and our next newest member of the family, Robert Hagg.
We like dem Frenchies and dem Swedes.

It's hilarious, the Penguins trade for every single player at the trade deadline and all the "professionals" applaud them. Flyers get two players and trade NOTHING (except a pick) to upgrade and now every member of the media cracks jokes about how reckless this team is in getting players. Just proves the pathetic double standard the Penguins enjoy.

i think seeing carter/richards raise the cup, whiffing on weber/suter w/ no plan B and paying ~$40 for 2 yrs of goaltending can do that. sure, some of this is out of context, but the pens are still cup contenders and the flyers are not, despite a flurry of moves.

We now have 3 former captains (Kimmo, Streit, Vinny) and a current captain. I mainly like that he isn't just picking up random old guys, he's picking up the best old guys
- JAKEw1234

and even guys who are no longer here ... like Briere, Jason Smith ... I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple.

So is this what we're looking at as of now. Which of those 5 on the fourth line moves up to the 3rd line and which one sits? DO they still go after Gagne?

Hartnell-G-Voracek
Schenn-Lecavalier-Read
?-Couts-Simmons
Talbot-laughton-Rinaldo-Rosehill-McGinn

Timonnen-Coburn
Streit-Schenn
gus-Grossman

When Homer is all in, he's all in. What are the odds he signs Scuderi?

If they trade Coburn at this point it better be one hell of a return.

So letang has a limited ntc

Can submit a 12 team list that he doesn't want to be traded to each season

If I'm a pens fan I have no problem with the contract
