How anybody (nh) can not like what Dupuis brings for his price tag is beyond me.

You don't get a name like Super Duper for being an average player. At his current rate he is one of the best contracts in the league.

Agreed. The guy has been so valuable since arriving. Can play in any situation, on any line, and on both special teams units. And he plays his butt off every night. Who can ask for more from a guy.

BINGO! You said it all brother, I agree. Super Duper. Love that man.

duper!!! exactly the type of player the pens need 1 or 2 more of. He can definitely reproduce those same numbers in 2012-13. The teams throw out their best D pairing and shutdown line trying to contain malkin and neal and that leaves duper and staal to cash in

Dupuis

BINGO! You said it all brother, I agree. Super Duper. Love that man.

I'm taking you up on your 6 mile walk, I'll let you know how it goes. Usually I keep it to 4ish.

I agree he is a great 3rd line player and pk'er........ for his price tag

i know i brought this up but i couldnt find everyones reaction, just trying to start some convo... but if nash loses suter, dont you think a good trade is martin for radulov's rights...

nash acquires a D to replace suter,martin doesnt go to a sucky team , we dump salary and have a chance to nego with rads, him and malkin are great friends and he could do very well on his wing, plus if he doesnt sign we dont really lose anything...

i think its a win win either way... thoughts...

yes i know gunner one russian is enough

Its just not that he's a russian, he's an idiot. I'd rather see them pursue Kulemin.

Or get rid of Martin and bring in Malone. Trade Kennedy, Lovejoy, + for Seto. Have Nisk sign an bring up Despres. Kunitz-Malkin-Neal, Malone-Crosby-Seto. Thats a great 1-2 punch

from what ive heard, he has a bad attitude, BUT it depends on what he wants. If we could resign him for like 2 mil then id say sure. anything above 3 mil and no go. malkin could have a good influence on him though so who knows

Ya I'm all over bringing back Malone, hes prone to injuries but I like his style and Pitt really missed that. The main reason I would bring him back in that deal is Martin can't justify his own contract. Seto deal looks alright too.

My buddy just said nisk resigned is that true

would be nice if true

- canadianpenfan

I have no idea either. He could be paid double of what he gets now and he would still be worth it.

Love Dupes but his stock is high, and it might be time for Shero to pull the trigger. Such a solid player though, he deserves a raise

You should have flown the c130 over Niagara Falls when the guy was trying to cross it, now that would have been something.

what is the walk?

Some dude tight rope walked across Niagra falls.

You can do it!

No, they gave him a one year, $1.75 mil qualifying offer, which was turned down.

I'm sure they weren't expecting him to agree to it, but it keeps his rights if not signed before July 1st, and it's a starting point for negotiations.

You can do it!
- powerhouse

Yep I sure did. I mis calculated the route and 2 hour and twenty minutes later I ventured 7.5 miles.

I have come to the conclusion I need better shoes, my feet hurt but my body was fine.

Its a start. I really like how he played and i like to see him on the pp2 along side despres..... Hope he signs for around 2.2 mil. Wonder if lovejoy strait or burtuzzo will be an add in in any trade... I know someone will pick up strait if they try to send him down..
