I'm certain thats a tad racist to assume. There is a few Non Korean SC players who kind of mattered >_>

Also nope, not Asian. German and Italian if ya must know

Fascist...

Velvetfrog and Sammy should do a podcast together. Half the listeners would commit suicide before the episode ended.

South Korean's... not Northern ones.

Is anyone else worried that Sestito was released from his PTO and Gonchar was not? And when does Farnham get put on waivers?

Not too worried about Cullen. If he gets edged out by a young guy he can be sent down to WBS for full cap relief.

Jr could have sign tlusty for 800k instead of wasting pto space on those 2...

Every winger on this current roster is better than tlusty. Would be a waste of 800k

I believe Gonchar is scheduled to play tonight so they couldn't release him. That sentence is me mostly saying what I hope is the case.

I think it's likely Gonchar will be on the team and they will carry 8 dmen. Stupid I know.

We already fleeced the Nucks when we shipped #FSutter to them. Is their management that bad? I mean Ray Shero-bad?

EDIT: Mind you, I was one of the "IN SHERO WE TRUST" folks when he was wheeling and dealing. It's the Scuderi deal, mostly.

Exactly why I think we can do it again. And I never call anyone dudes

Aside from overpaying Scuds, and the Murray for two 2nd rounders... Shero did a lot of good trades. Them not working out is out of his control, but think most of us agreed he got good deals for the asking price values.

Well, Sestito was also scheduled to "play" tonight per http://penguins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=780800 and yet they didn't wait. But maybe because without Gonch there would only be 6D.

To quote myself:

"The Pen's D is below average. The Pen's team D is average. Name the last Cup contender / winner with this kind of team."

Just being a realist.

I believe Gonchars value is that if someone gets hurt he can play bottom line instead of calling someone who needs to clear waivers up. That person would most likely be Erixon. The defensive prospects kinda drop off after him.

They only have to clear waivers once. They can go up and down after that

Sestito was supposed to play tonight too

He did good trades for the most part he was just horrible in the draft and didn't care about draft and development. In the salary cap era that's more important than good trades

To also quote a few of your statements:
"I've watched hockey a long time and this defense is brutal. The Crosby/Malkin window is closing and this is the worst D of their careers!"
"Cole / Lovejoy as a second pairing is brutal."
"Sorry, folks, but the D is going to sink this team."
"NYR is offensively challenged."

The team hasn't played a single RS game. We don't know how they will play together or what changes will occur. And NYR had the 3rd best scoring offense last season so that's just plain wrong. TBL didn't have a great defense last season, made some moves, and made it to the SCF. I'm plenty skeptical of the defense, but writing the team off now is just mindlessly pessimistic. If you really believe it you should put money on it.

2015 Tampa Bay lightning, and the Blackhawks bottom 3 defensemen were no picnic either

Yes, but I am referring to the topic of wanting to take advantage of a "Shero like" management in a trade. I'd be very hesitant to try and fleece Shero in a trade.
