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

Copious amounts of heroin in their water bottles.

Where did you guys see the Brassard retention?

That’s pretty great.

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

Arms race? If you think about it......it's pretty smart of Dorian to put pressure on other contenders when you have a "For Sale" sign on Karlsson.

On sheary or cole lmao . Oh well im happy as poop right now. Hes still got time to maybe pawn off hunwick lol

According to Pierre Lebrun: There are still more details to come in this Pittsburgh-Ottawa trade, perhaps a third team involved in some manner...

The Sheary part lol I'd rather hold on to him since he's locked up cheap. Cole was gonna walk, (frank) em.

Xavier Ouellet for a 5th

Crankshaft!! LOL

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

Retaining Hornqvist seams even more unlikely now unless the Pens move Sheary and/ or Hags in the offseason... Or unless the Pens are willing to give him an Oshie like deal of 5-7 years for less AAV. I don't see it happening but GMJR and Sullivan love Horny. Will be interesting.

Hearing that @Senators are retaining up to 18% of Derrick Brassard's salary. The level of intensity to make a move just ramped up 100% for the @TBLightning @NHLBruins

Guts-Crosby-PH
Hags-Malkin-Rust
Sherry-Brassard-Kessel
ZAR-Sheehan-Reaves

Thats a strong lineup!

Hey. Stop throwing away Cole like he's a slice of meat

But obviously you move Cole over Sheary, I just didn't think Ottawa would value Brassard at a 1st, Gus, and cap dump. Thought it would take Sheary's value.

Caps going up to like 80 million. We only have to sign RFA Rust to larger $$

Sheahan and Oleksiak will get a small bump in pay

I think he can get Horny done, can always move Hunwick in the offseason if he has to

Guts-Crosby-PH
Hags-Malkin-Rust
Sherry-Brassard-Kessel
ZAR-Sheehan-Reaves

Oh man even Sammy is pleased!

I remember when the Pens first announced JR would be the GM and how so many people jumped the gun saying this team is done

And Sheahan, Simon, Jarry, etc.

There will be younger options in the offseason who are just as good as Hornqvist and will command around the same cap hit. If JR's smart, he's not married to a Hornqvist extension and will explore all options.

And Sheahan, Simon, Jarry, etc.
- Feds91Stammer

Sheahan = small raise

Simon = nothing significant

Jarry = already signed

Rust will get 2.75-3 million and thats it

Hags-Malkin-Rust

I would say guts stays on the third line ZAR plays with Sid until that dries up and Sheary on the fourth.

Just go all in on Tavares

- j.boyd919

Has to be higher, no? I was trying to figure out the math on this and it's off to me. Cole is 2.1 and Brassard coming back is 5. That's the Pens' 1.7 space + 2.1 leaving 1.2mil? 18% of Brassard is only 900k? LTIR move?

P.S- Pens looking scary with that depth chart

Edit: Lebrun saying there are more details to come regarding this trade.

JR for GM of the Century?

Xavier Ouellet for a 5th
- Feds91Stammer

Id give a late pick to give the kid a fresh start like they did with oleksiak. Maybe you want hunwick instead?
