Idol. #68 was a great Penguin.

People hated the Pens and Jagr because of the salute. I loved that.

Hypothetical would you rather....

Trade a 2nd for Letestu
Trade a 6th for Cullen

- YouMeAndDupuis9

I'd do both.

Agree 2nd is too high for Letestu, but we're trying to 3 peat and it's a seller's market ATM. I'd try to find better value elsewhere but if it came down to it I'll take him.

6th is worth a flier on Cullen. Worst case he helps the room. should at least bump Kuhn to the bench and add center depth. Not sure if he has anything left so this way we're covered and even have a spare in case of injury.

IMO Letestu is not the guy you overpay for to make a cup run.

IMO he's worth no more than a 3rd RP...and I'd be reticent on paying this price.

I think maybe Rowney or Kuhn + 3rd wouldn’t be a bad offer.

Too rich IMO.

Anyone with access to InsidePittsburghSports?

No offers made. It states there’s interest in Letestu and Pageau. No current interest or offers to Cullen but suggested he’ll always be a posibility.

I'd rather overpay for a better player, but they absolutely need a center. Not set on Letestu by any means.

Completely agree with that. I'd offer a conditional 3rd based on our advancement to the conference finals. 5th rounder if we don't.

I'd Cullen were available, there is at least some speculation Minnesota would consider selling high on Staal. That's the most ideal move, thoigh very costly.

Don't disagree. It's a seller's market, may have to overpay to make ANY moves.

And we vastly differ on how we value draft picks right now, so we'll never come to a consensus.

Pageau should def be our first fall back option of the three. I'd really love Brassard here though, just don't know if we can pull it off

Stop all this nonsense & get The Dr in a Pens uniform. Ufa at seasons end who we can resign if he fits the bottom 6, & has also been playing a little top 6 I believe (Bingo can confirm that if he's not banned . Perfect player for us - as long as he fits the system.

The 'oral' history of 68. Now that's going to be a long read & something probably worth a look......... nudge nudge.

Fair enough. I would just rather stand pat than overpay.

I don’t normally value draft picks this much, but this draft is going to be one of the deepest there’s been in a long time.

I dont ever remember a year mid season with the salary cap in place where its been a buyers market... pretty standard every year id say.

yeah, it's just a really thin market at center.

Right, I know that's where you're at and I'm of a different mindset. I'm certainly trying to do better then a 2nd for Letestu, but I'd deadline comes and the only deals we can make is that and a 6th for Cullen, I'm doing both.

probably Ryan from the Canes. Aussie really likes him, but they're not really sellers at this point.

Derek Ryan. DR. The Dr.

I've been watching a few Dr Who episodes lately. Used to love that show when Tom Baker was the Dr.

My jagr memory. I’m 16 years old and working for the papa j deliverin pizzers in mt Lebo usc. Delivered to the house he owns in usc. Dude answered the door and didn’t speak to me at all... just handed me cash for his food. Wasn’t till I was walking away I realized he tipped me 1 $. He had just signed for millions.


That being said I hope he somehow retires a pen.

Someone said there was chatter about him being on the radar? I haven't seen anything like that, although I'm not on twitter. Ryan gets zero love from any of the articles about upcoming ufa's!
