They should keep Kessel and go for the three-peat, and then look at possibly trading him.
- Hossa1881

Or maybe just not trade him at all because he's awesome?

Darren Helm of 3 or 4 years ago would be O.K., but now we would need Athanasiou Or, I'm trying to figure out how to get Larkin from Detroit.
- so_buzz11

Larkin for DP, Sprong, Jarry, and a 1st

Larkin's rough sophmore year is over, he will only get better, IMO.
He Is only 20! He can get even better in a lot of areas!
- so_buzz11

Yeah sure

How did Sprong do in the training camp? Thats a big factor in Kessels' future.
- sammy87

Was supposedly a man among boys. I know he scored 5 of his team's 8 goals in the scrimmage.

I see him more as Hornqvist's eventual replacement.

The day JR does that (along with trading Kessel and turning around to sign Gionta) we can consider the man senile.

According to JR, ZAR can play Hornies game. I saw a highlight of him running over the goalie at the prospect camp......so yeah.....he's probably Hornqvist's replacement.

I could see Sprong coming up next year like Guentzal and scoring a ton of goals. And he never see's the AHL again.

But was it "accidentally on purpose"? That's the mark of a true NHLer.

That's just a myth. Everyone knows you canNOT get preggers by drooling semen onto your Va9ina.
Pick up a book sometime.

I was just talking about as a RW, but stylistically yeah, it's Ashton-Reese.

Being a Detroit fan, I'd think you would try to hype up Larkin not be down on him just because he had a bad year. It was a bit of transition for him, he played with a lot of different linemates and at different positions than his rookie year. He has some speed and is only 20! I would take him on the Pens, but not for what you sarcastically implied

Would y'all do kessel foe duchane straight up

Ferland to sign with CGY for 2 years at $1.75M. Next up is Sam Bennett for them. CGY will easily make a deal or bridge deal with Bennett. Bennett is one to watch for the future, he will be very, very good!

Yes

Would y'all do kessel foe duchane straight up
- pensfan024

Normally I would be against trading kessel this season as we go for the 3 peat (and especially as the draft has passed) but for Duchene straight up I just might entertain it.

That's a good question and a difficult one to answer. Based on the Pens' needs and the current roster, probably yes. In a vacuum, maybe not. I'm not as crazy about Duchene as many are. Colorado wouldn't do that trade anyway, but if they were close to being a contender they might. It is interesting to consider.

Great picture, I was hoping the Pens would do it

I don't know if I would. If I did it would only be because of the age difference.

He just isn't that good. Fast feet with limited hockey IQ. Hasn't shown that he can play center in the NHL. Doesn't create for others. Just a regular fast volume shooter. Basically he is like a Michael Grabner.
