A Bernier trade was in the works long before Leiweke joined the team...
- Fruitcakenipple


Look. If we traded for Strome tomorrow, would it mean Kessel should be looking over his shoulder?

Potential. That's what Bernier brings. He hasn't earned anything yet, nor was he expected to be the undisputed starter when we acquired him.

I guess they figured that if they're going to have a 1B, they'd pay a little extra to upgrade on Scrivens. Who wouldn't want a young goalie with starter upside? Let's say he plays well, but Reimer keeps the job. Worst case scenario, you trade Bernier for assets.

I don't think they needed to upgrade at goal, but they saw an opportunity, so they took it.

Awful idea.
- UsernameUnknown


The truth.

Both are good defensemen, but not great together. Franson is one of our worst defensemen in his own end and Gardiner likes to gamble.

I doubt it. Franson and Fraser were to good together. Hence then paired immediately today

Yeah cause Fraser was stinking up the joint in the preseason.

If we traded for Strome it would be Bozak who should be looking over his shoulder. OR just give his spot up willingly..

I'd be willing to bet that if Franson wasn't a right hand shot he would be already gone.

I'd be willing to bet that if Bozak wasn't Kessel's girlfriend, he wouldn't have been signed last summer.

But then what would Honest Hockey argue about endlessly until everyone simply want's to burn the "lol" smiley into the ground?

Oh, nevermind. He would just start to talk about how horrible of a player he thinks Gardiner is.

He'd still have his irrational hatred for Jake Gardiner.

Pens need a goalie? Pens covet Kuli? Seems like something that might work
