Would anybody here trade Nick Spaling for Jussi Jokinen?

I would

At this point I view Spaling as a negative in the Neal/Hornqvist trade

I'd rather have the capspace, and Jokinen is an easy 1.8 million dollar upgrade in productivity and lineup flexibility

even just the fact he can take faceoffs for Malkin on the second line makes it a plus

I'm not any fan of spaling by any means so far. And this may not too smart, but I want the pens to get younger. Nothing against Jokinen or what he did here, and he's certainly better then spaling...but id just trade for Jokinen Jr in Tlusty. Spaling will be fine eventually on the fourth line...overpaid..but fine. Lastly just don't want to trade any of our forwards right now

SO... OFF TOPICISH...

a allstar team of players I loved on the pens but wernt really stars

This could be fun lol...

G - Peter Skudra

I could have named about a half dozen more defensemen, I liked so many of them.

Since he has come back I will throw this out again, I think Alex Tanguay would make for a nice target, only 1 more year at 3.5, solid two way top 6 winger

The money and term would be a reason for us to stay away

The Panthers are all about handing the team over to their youth, Getting $$$ and term off their books helps them with that. Spaling might be what they'll look for since he fits the bill of what helps them

Younger, Cheaper, Less term on his deal,

From the Pens perspective, would you do it?
- RoloTahmasee

I like Spaling and his responsible but symple game....but I'd trade him to Florida for a top 6...not necessarily Jokes. Fleischmann would be cool too.

Had to go on a trip to yuma az. Dec 2nd tickets on sale. PM me


Surprised no teams made trades this weekend... When does the holiday freeze start

Loved when we traded for him even though we traded Stu Barnes away

greiss + martin to Dallas for Hemsky + 1st. zatkoff can back up MAF.... or... marty

As.much as that would be great to have hemsky.. I think I am past that. Rather have yak rattie Emerson eberle etc...

Really Chris? We become so much Worse without those two.

zatkoff provides nearly as good backup work. d-depth makes martin expendable. 1st rounder is good for future or as a trade piece for another winger.

sure... just throwing a trade out there that is realistic... and doesnt cost us a 1st, DP, or forward depth. too many people think we wont have to literally kidnap a gm's daughter and hold them randsom to get anything for scuds. rattie / emerson are question marks and would still cost a decent price. eberle would cost dp, 1st rounder, + with the bidding war that would ensue. I was just riding eklunds newest post for a hoot.
