The fact that the Pens 3rd line will be Guetz-Brassard-Kessel is insane. How do you defend that?

When do you think Gus will have a legit chance to win the starting job in Pittsburgh? 3 or 4 years?

6. After Murray leaves and Jarry starts for 3 years.

Gotta give to get. Not happy about losing a 1st, but man are we stacked now

At least its not like Shero-era trades for rentals.
I still remember Doug Murray

Great trade for the Pens. Pretty surprised to see them get Brassard and not trade away Sheary or Sprong.

For sure going to miss Cole but holy poop at the forward lineup they can put out there!

Simon-Crosby-Hornquist
Hagelin-Malkin-Rust
Guentzel-Brassard-Kessel
Sheary-Sheehan-ZAR/Sprong/Kuhn/Reaves

Prob helps Kessel the most. With Sheahan slotting down, he gets more ozone starts and a chance to reignite his offense.

Cap wouldn't work out. Rangers aren't retaining on a termed contract.

Yeah that's true tho his cap hit was lower than I thought, only 4.7

Any word on how much Ottawa is retaining? The numbers don't work in terms of the cap.

Yea I'm not bent out of shape, I want them to go for the gusto the next two years.

The Cole to Hunwick downgrade is a bit of a thing for me, we'll see.

McD's contract is absurdly good. If the Rags want to move him, they should be able to get a haul.

I'm hoping for..
Simon-Crosby-ZAR/Rust
Hags-Geno-Horny
Guentzel-Brassard-Kessel
Sheary-Sheahan-Rust/ZAR

Dude....There's so many possibilities. Kind of gives me chills.

I'm hoping for..

Guentzel-Brassard-Kessel
Sheary-Sheahan-Rust/ZAR

The line up the Pens have right "now" is better in my opinion then either cup winning team. Those lines look like an all star team......

With Brassard there, I think we can finally comfortably move G back up to Crosby and the Kessel line will have plenty of skill to rock and roll. I want

Simon-Crosby-Guentzel
Hagelin-Malkin-Hornqvist
Rust-Brassard-Kessel
Aston Reese-Sheahan-Sheary

Rust and Simon are interchangeable depending on chemistry.

They’re retaining salary on Brass?

JR will get a body for Sid... he's said he wants a new linemate...

Yeah 18%

That's 900k, plus 2.1 for cole, and the space they had. Pens may need to demote someone to make the cap work! Simon?

Yeah 18%
- j.boyd919

Damn so we got almost a mil off for next year too? That's (frank)ing huge!

I was hoping they would take sheary instead of cole hes played really well in 18. If those cheap bastards r on the hook for money then i dont see how anyone cant like this deal

Hahahahahahahahahaha I just used a Goodfellas gif on some moron on twitter.

Nicely done.

Yeah 18%

That’s pretty great.

I’m diggin the trade. Now if Tampa doesn’t get Karlsson the Pens look pretty darn good.

Congrats all you Pens fans. Gonna take a run at 3 straight.
