Subban asking for 8.5?
i get the feeling more and more that he's not going to sign for 8 years. more like 4-5.
- DoubleDown

could be. either way as long as they can buy a couple of years of UFA then it means he's not completely turned off.

the fact that you thought is what's funny
- basementfloor

Problem is, Moen and Prust don't take shifts on the top 6.
Pass on Penner, let the Leafs sign him for 1M.
- fidopro

ah ok becasue they did and one of them probably will when Pacioretty can start the season and gets injured in time for CHristmas

Because I thought it was funny.

You can't be serious.

Trade him.

He wants to play in TO

I would take Penner, only if you can rid of Bourque. Those guys are pretty much identical.
- l3ig_l2ecl

yeah but with Penner, you're talking about 1 year at a nothing contract. if he doesn't work out, it's not like the deal backfires.

i would take a flier (flyer??) on him if he comes at a bargain price ($1-$1.5 million).
we're very shallow on the wing in Montreal.
- DoubleDown

Move that young tender for a winger..

Yup..

except PEnner can't skate, or drive the net, or stay healthy or even be streaky.

You can't be serious.
- hscesq

Am I ever serious? I was just being an ass like usual.

i think he's good insurance in case absolutely no one is ready to jump into the lineup (Sekac, de la Rose, etc.) this year.
- DoubleDown

I would prefer Bournival over Penner, even if he cannot score in a soccer net.

i don't think he has much if any value

oh ffs

so does everyone born in SW ontario apparently

dumbest poop you hear.. and its been going strong for 30 damn years or more.. gretzky wanted to play here too

ffs.

I'd prefer Bournival/Andrighetto/DLR taking shifts as top 9 wingers if there are injuries instead of signing Penner...
- BashCH

well Bournival is a 4th line player and the other two haven't played a single game. it's not like the habs have so much depth that they couldn't add a guy like that on a short, cheap deal.

he's not consistent but that's why he'd be cheap

goalie return always disappoints.

Somebody's cranky this morning.

When a player goes out and says it would be amazing to play for his home town.. .

He'd just be an old fat no good player taking a young guy's spot.

toronto is nice n all but Rodney's Oyster House isnt going to entice players to sign here

HE's scored 25 goals since 2010


I bet you can't evenname the team he finish the season with last year.

- BashCH

if it's a young guy who can play a top 6 role I'd agree but you don't stick a 5th line player on your top 6 as a fill-in just becasue he's young.

PEnner can't play top 6 minutes.

LEt alone top 9 minutes.

or top 12 minutes.
