Ryan Wilson: Shopping list for Penguins deadline day Shopping list for Penguins deadline day

Fist!

Johnny Oduya was just put on waivers. That option is not appealing to me. His cap hit is too high and you’d be asking Ottawa to retain money.

His cap hit is 1 mil... are you going stupid man?

Need a wing. If sid gets a quality guy to play with I think he’ll be even more inspired. Not saying he hasn’t been trying hard, but giving him some nhl talent to play with will rejuvenate him

RW should have said Od is just too slow for this team.

Addition by subtraction of Hunwick... I don't think hes any slower than him, and a bit better overall, IMO.

Translation: Oduya is not worth any cap space.

What are the Rags asking for for Zucc? Has any mention been made? The asked and got a lot for Nash.

You've seen Hunwick play... right? This is like a Scuderi vs Daley type of deal... except not as much potential upside as Daley had.

To me the Kane favorites remain Pittsburgh and Philly from the Metro and a bunch of teams in the Pacific like Sharks, Flames, Ducks. Blues and Preds on the periphery. #Sabres

Would really make Sid happy but I'm afraid to think about what's going out on top of Sheary. I don't like pure rentals. Brassard I was ok with because he has another year left.

I'm hearing Minnesota has no plans to move Matt Cullen today. They're rolling and he's playing well, centering the third line. They need him.

Agreed. Have to think it'd be Sprong+Sheary+pick(s).

Hunkwick is a great skater and good passer...he looked good the two games before the last game. The whole D was a mess that night, not just Hunwick. They werent communicating. Dumo was crap that game too.

Well then there is this...........

The Penguins won't be landing Evander Kane today. But they are interested in making a move or two. Read about it here:

Oduya 17/18 salary is 1m. His cap hit is actually 2.25.

Agreed. Have to think it'd be Sprong+Sheary+pick(s).
- stowerkraut

I'd hate to trade Sprong for a rental

Yohe confirms we aren't trading for Kane ...

Meanwhile, Yohe just pumped out an article saying the Pens won't be landing Kane lol

Oduya 17/18 salary is 1m. His cap hit is actually 2.25.
- greenyone

You have that backwards... His current team might be on the hook for 2.25, but thats due to bonuses.

- stowerkraut

For who Patrick Kane?

Well so much for the Kane talk. That's been nixed.

Yohe does say Pens are interested in Kevin Connauton.

Yohe confirms we aren't trading for Kane ...

I saw that I'm not sure anyone can accurately predict what is going to happen today. There's certainly a connection between the GM's and familiarity with our prospects.
