That's quite the payment from the Bruins for a rental..

It would be what Chicago just tried bringing all the boys back together to force repeated success.

Yeah plus Sheahan is young, finding his groove and a RRA so he's cost controlled.

Despite Hatewicks bad outting last night I truly beleive two things:

Hunwick > Hainsey

Oleksiak > Cole... Or very close anyways.

So in my opinion, the D right now is better than what headed into the postseason last year.

Yeah Wicky had a real crap game but so did Dumoulin, one goal was a one on one with him he totally botched plus piles of other crap plays, and Oleksiak had what I thought was his worst game yet.

I feel like theres a slight catastrophic sky is falling because of our current D vibe going on around here...added to everything I just said, the Panthers are just as hot as the Pens the past two months but are way more desperate, it was in their barn and they didn't play the night before.

Yea but we know what Dumo is capable of and yea Oleksiak was rough last night but he's shown better. Hunwick I'm not sold

I am glad they overpaid... Nash has disappeared in the playoffs against us more than once.

Can Oduya still play? I feel like they have to do something. At least have options. I kind of feel like adding a "stay at home" guy would be great next to Oleksiak.

TIOPS are saying Pens may go after Jack Johnson as a rental due to his connections with Crosby. I Love how he's always connected with coming here, one could hope we make a trade for a Defenseman. I'm hope we make another move and get someone like big rig. Cheap and fallen out of favor with there team, but becomes a steal for us.

(frank) him. Absolute trash defenseman. Plays zero defense. He's easily been surpassed by all those youngun Dmen in CLB. Overrated POS

Is he still bankrupt too?

Essentially yes. I believe he has payment plans with his creditors that largely eat most of his salary. I read an article somewhere saying he's hoping to get a nice contract to get his finances back on track. It's hard to imagine his own parents did that to him.

I honestly don’t care what the Pens do at this point as Cullen isn’t the 4C.

I said something similar a few pages back. If the Pens won the cup with Hainsey on the first pair they can certainly win with Hunwick on the 3rd.

That being said, he was pure trash last night and any chance they have to replace him, they should.

I would even consider dressing 7 dmen and getting Rudeboi back in.

Can we move Sheary and Hunwick somewhere for like parts? (Dman around the skill of Sheary and late pick)

Johnson settled the debt with his creditors in November 2016 to hand over the majority of last year and this years salary (In addition to liquidating 2 homes and a Ferrari). His salary last season and this season was 246K(after paying his debtors).

I’m hoping last nights game showed them they need a higher caliber 4C than Cullen.

They SHOULD keep Sheahan but I guess we have to wait and see. The game should also show them we need a higher caliber Defenseman with Oleksiak.

That's essentially what I was saying, he has a payment plan that eats most of his salary. It's technically not settled until that last check is processed. Poor bastard.

How does he sleep at night with only 264k/year?

That's terrible, she was just in labor Friday. Thoughts with them.

Interesting. Not sure why Toronto traded for a center. The plot thickens? Bozak going bye bye?

Or possibly just depth? Matthews is out right now.
