Shirtless Ron MacLean approves this trade

I guess better than Sutter means all of those things to you geniuses. I mean Sutter is after all a potential 1C.

There's a reason Lemieux called Sutter a future hall of famer, genius.

Bennington gave a lot of info.

He referred to EG as a top 4 Dman a few times. He also said he would partner with Hutton. That makes your top 4 Edler Tanev EG and Hutton.

He also said a few times that they are drafting at 5 and will replace with a top 6 forward. He did say there was a Dman they had ranked in top 6.
- VANTEL

That was interesting to hear.

Our top two pairings are taking shape. No room for Hamhuis unless he is moving out a dman or two...

He has been. But he is an easily replaceable integral part of that team.
- Retinalz

Or maybe if Sutter was in his spot Kessel and Hagelin wouldn't click and it would have failed. Who is to say.

Whether he is easily replaceable or not is complete conjecture. They've been trying to fill that role since they lost Jordan Staal.

I love this , we have Leaf fans , Oiler fans and Colorado fans giving us tips on rebuilding

Vantel... You sir have won HockeyBuzz for the day. Congrats!

Definitely.

Canucks fans on twitter seem like a sad bunch. Basically all the time. It's amazing

Oh, I thought Twitter was a brilliant Sam Pollock hockey mind that was so angry about the trade that he self combusted.

I was actually gunna ask you. I didn't get in there until it was shut down. Prob why most of the other posters haven't trolled in here to say something yet.

Does this mean I owe Vantel some money??

Canadian Tire Jumpstart. I gave them 30 a month ago thanks to Lefty.

You are making an argument contradicting some position on Bonino I haven't taken at all. Take a couple seconds and reassess.

My whole point wasn't that Bonino is some amazing 1C (even though some genius said Sutter was ), I never tried to say that at all. My point was he is providing a lot more impact and importance to his team since the trade than Sutter has.

But yes, if you wanna keep talking about Bonino statues like that's somehow what I was implying then feel free to continue to make a fool of yourself.
- RonPielep

Holy (frank) man.

Bonino is playing with the best winger the Pens have had in a long, long time.

Hagelin is also one of their better wingers.

Do you really, for an instant believe Sutter couldn't put up numbers with those 2 players?

If they still bring back Hamhuis on a very cheap deal everyone wins.

Guess this signals that Hamhuis ain't coming back.

It's time. Let go son , let go

Better twitter than taking it to the streets.

Yep if he signs a one year deal for 2 mil , I'm screwed

I have no clue whether he would or not.

But I certainly wouldn't just assume Sutter would have the chemistry with those two wingers that Bonino has. That would be a pretty stupid assumption especially considering how well that line is playing together right now and considering Sutter has never put up numbers remotely similar to those in his entire career.

is everyone happy?

I think he likes the top 4 now. Edler NTC and Tanev is the best player on Team Canada

This trade makes it easier to move on (although i was ready to move on at TDL)

Edler-Tanev
Hutton-Gudbranson
Tryamkin-Sbisa?
Pedan

Thats a nice tough D core (aside from Tanev and Hutton)

Replace Sbisa with Larsen hopefully

True, unless he really wants to stay here.

Family man, has made lots of money over his career. Not saying he will, just he might really want to stay.

Neither has Bonino.

Actually, he put up about 25 points this season.

- RonPielep

Putting aside that Sutter is a 1c(he isn't btw) Sutter would put up the same or possibly better numbers playing with hag and kess. Pitts traded Sutter because they needed to save the cap space.
