Ideally I would like to see a NSH/OTT final.

I'd like to see a Canadian team competing for the cup, there's a cool energy that comes over the country every time it happens. The city I live in has fans of pretty much every canadian team, though it's more Oilers than anything else. Getting the Sens in there would definitely excite people though

I don't care about the Canada thing. Bad fans, bad ownership.

I do like Burrows/Anderson/Brian Murray

those garbage fans and ownership don't deserve a cup. Go Pens

He came to camp out of shape. Was asked to go to the AHL. Said no. Thanks to injuries he got into some games.

His point total over a season looks to be about 12 points.
Hutton doubled that in his first season.

He played the least amount of any regular D.

He showed promise and was fun to watch from time to time.

The offer was probably pretty good for a 3rd pairing D.

Didn't see any of the above said all last season after he was inserted into line up.

Yeah. If only they don't sign Miller. Then they could try going for 3OA pick. Where within deal they're taking back Lehtonen bad contract dump for a season.

Pens ownership isnt much better. Threatened to relocate to KC and LV in order to exploit the local governments to fully fund the construction of their arena and now pay something around $4m per year back to the city, which doesnt include all the infrastructure costs, forgoing property tax and other sources of income normal buildings generate.

Not to mention they were dead last in attendance the year before Crosby arrived.

That franchise is essentially what Edmonton should have been if their 1OA's all panned out, new stadium and all

We definitely saw a lot of comments about how he had "potential", or despite his mistakes he was still better than _______ or ________. The word "raw" comes to memory, he wasnt great but we all saw he had flashes of it

And we definitely saw comments regarding his icetime, which regardless if he deserved it or not, you cant pay someone more because they deserved more icetime

(frank) Miller. Go with a cheaper option stop-gap such as Budaj or Johnson

Very interesting article on Tryamkin
- Retinalz

This is just more clickbait. It's easy to get emotional and blame management for Tryamkin but this has to stop. I'm not an insider, I don't have "sources" but I'm friendly with some people who are. At the end of the day, Nikita does not want to be in North America. He does not want to play for the canucks OR ANY NHL TEAM. That's why we can't trade him. You can point to all the stories that have come out (some blown way out of proportion) as evidence for this or that but at the end of the day you have a 20 year old kid in a foreign country who doesn't speak the language, doesn't really have any desire to learn the language, and can make just as much money and fame back home where he (and his bride) are more comfortable.

I realize that as canadians we have a hard time wrapping our head around the idea that someone wouldn't want to play in the NHL, so we make up excuses and point fingers but seriously put yourself in Tryamkin's boots for a second and stop looking to blame someone. Sometimes things don't work out. Life goes on, you should too.

I cheer for Canadian players not Cities. I don't give a flying frank about Ottawa or any other Canadian team. I respect the Penguins for their ability to overcome adversity. No team has been rattled more by injuries this year in my opinion.

After a single year too. Van wanted him to play with size. He wanted to rush end to end like Karlsson. He's just has a euro style game still.

this has already received too much press. I don't believe the author has any sources close to the team either.

Chatfield sure loves to jump in on the rushes

Yeah seems he made the right decision then to go for now. Use KHL team for a better role to develop. Take family time and earn a better offer in playing more significant icetime. Others have done it who have that KHL option. I like to see one report of where Tree says he doesn't want to play in the NHL for family reasons. It's the Canuck line to save face. But I see this kid coming back one day to the NHL. He's still years away from his prime. Let's see if he uses the development time wisely. We all know there is never a shortage of interest for D by NHL teams.

If this is true they should have traded him at the TDL and gotten something for him. Even if just getting out 3rd rounder back.

The kid was home sick and didn't make friends with players or the coaching staff. Paired with a sense of entitlement it's no surprise he left.
