Eklund: Quick Hit: Penguins Talking to Oilers About Hemsky.

Doubt St louis goes anywhere

KULIKOV!! FLEISCHMAN!! BOYES!! THOMAS!!

Cool! get it done MacT

Hemsky to the Pens, talk about beating a dead horse

i get the penguins need depth scoring but i feel like a much more pressing need for them is defensive depth given Letang is probably done for the year and Paul Martin is made of glass

Soooooo, will Hemsky go for a 6th or 7th?

Oh so interesting.

Sure has, but in all honesty, for a 2nd pick or a prospect, the Penguins are getting a heck of a player.

If you knew anything about the Pens, you knew they have depth on the blueline. Remember, we had four of our top six out at one time this year.

A 1st, a roster player and a top prospect

I think Letang is made out of prop glass.

Oprik, Scuderi, Maatta, Niskanen is our top four right now. Despres, Bortuzzo and Engelland - any combo is our bottom. Again, if you knew anything about the Pens, which it seems like you know very little, we have bodies down in Wilkes Barre who have played in the NHL and did well enough when they were up. I doubt we win the Cup based on our makeup at forward. Hemsky isn't the answer either.

Its been Ek's dream to have Hemsky in Pittsburgh, hence all the foolish drivel each year come deadline.

Probably should have fired his agent long ago....I'm sure you noticed that the Oilers have been a pretty sh1t team the last 8 seasons.

recycling is good for the environment

that's it! I've cracked the HB secret

Ek's source lives in a blue box...or actually is a blue box

I'm not counting on it, but the Pens have managed to put together a pretty good record this year despite having the most player games missed out of any franchise. Who knows?

ok ... can we agree you have little knowledge about the Pens and what they have on defense? Because your comments suggest so.

Hemsky on the Pens will be good, he'll get back to the old Hemsky ways and make people realize the talent that he has.

Oh...it's that time of the year again? Always a blog on Hemsky as we enter March and why? If he was worth beans he would be out of EDM by now. get some some stuff will ya?

im just messing with you buddy...orpik scuderi and niskanen are solid but you cant count on maatta to carry top 4 minutes throughout a playoff run and there is a reason those AHL players are in the AHL...its because they arent great. macdonald would be a nice solution and martin staying healthy would help

Hemsky, Nultz and Bryz to Pitts for 2014 and 2015 1sts!!!

Edit: or Maata and a 3rd pick
