That haul Philly got for Coburn was the kind of haul I was looking for in return for P Mart before Maatta got injured. I know we cant trade P Mart now, but would anyone have traded P Mart for the very same deal Philly got? You could argue the Pens could have gotten more.

Gudas is the kind of guy I wanted the Pens to move Martin for. Physical. Tough to play against. Underrated. Agitator. Thick, solid player who drives other star players nuts. Nice cap hit. A guy like this is the element our D is missing IMO.

Not sure if I would move Martin even if Maatta were healthy. It's really a toss up. If we don't, Pouliot most likely isn't in the NHL right now. But the haul he would get? Huge, especially if a team payed for Coburn.

Dear god did Philly rape TB on the Coburn deal.

They got Gudas and 2 picks? One being a 1st!!

I wouldn't trade Gudas for Coburn straight up.

That's a great trade for Philly. Pens fans will learn to hate that dude real quick.

I would have traded P Mart for that very same deal.

Beginning next season if they re-sign him. Gudas is done for the year.

Crap - Petry to the Canadiens

Polak > Gudas but he comes with a bigger cap hit.

For What?

MacT screwed that up. Petry only went for a 2nd and 5th. Pathetic return.

If only there was a demand for a soft 3rd line center.

There might be... but is the return going to be better for a cup run, or is it better to hang on to Sutter and trade at the draft?

Can't believe the price the Rangers paid to soften up their defense.

For What?

A 2nd and a conditional 5th

Edit: Edmonton now has 6 picks in the first three rounds this year.

If GMJR does anything today, I think it will be something out of blue. One of those trades where everyone will be on the fence. I just hope he ate his Wheaties this morning.

Garth is lurking in his office somewhere today getting ready to pull off a blockbuster.

I could see him getting Dion from the Leafs for one of their young forwards. That's a Garth kinda move.

Gudas is done for the year and TB is gearing up for a run. So, no, I don't think I would have traded Martin for that deal unless, of course, you're calling this season a wash.

Yeesh... feel like that is a bit of a cheap cost for him

Was talking 3 months ago or perhaps even pre-season.

It's a terrible return compared to what other teams have been getting. They should have gotten at least a 1st this year or a good quality prospect.

The 5th becomes a 4th if they win a round and it becomes a 3rd if they win two rounds.

It's 7am in colorado phones been blowing up since 6 by idiot friends... yet no hemsky deal...sad panda

Gudas is not all that great. Bottom-pair, slow defenseman. Moving a puck-mover who plays solid defense and is an above-average skater like Martin for him would greatly decrease the Penguins chance of winning the Cup this year, regardless of Maata's health.

So I'm gonna go back to reading stuff in that die hard Pens fan group... laughing a lot at their ideas

My gawd what did we do before twitter....

Still a very low return compared to what other top 4 dmen are going for. Even in the best drafts like this one, a 2nd and 3rd are far from guarantees. At least getting a well developed prospect and a 1st has a good chance of being a roster player.

He is, and I'm being serious, a clone of Luke Schenn. I want nothing to do with him
