How much salary was retained? Any word on the prospects they picked up?

Pretty amazing trade right there!

- sammy87


Brassard will cost the Pens $3M.

I did a quick look into the prospects. Nothing special. Bodies for WBS.

ZAR and Simon are impact wingers. We don’t have the assets for anything else but maybe a depth dman. There is no reason to bring anyone else in an f up this teams chemistry.

False.

A Sheary based Kane trade would be a wet dream.

- YouMeAndDupuis9


Hahah his on ice play would be great for the Pens no doubt, I just worry that it's too many stars or semi stars and that will F chemistry bad and what not, not to mention him supposedly being a tool off the ice .. He wouldnt be on top PP... Would he?

Probably would be 2nd PP unit. Would be 1st line and would probably be 1st line PK as well. Would also dominate with Sid as a 4 on 4 player much like Kessel with Malkin

The sad thing I keep hearing on hockey shows is that they’re clearly trying to get moved to Quebec at this point.
- Rinosaur


Bullpoop.....post one single reference saying the team is trying to move. I'd say the fact that they're working on a billion dollar development deal, including a new rink, it's a safe bet they aren't trying to move.

You posted this same shut in the sens blog and then acted all shocked when people told you to (frank) off and stop trolling

Per Hockey-reference this season.
20:50 Crosby
18:49 Malkin
18:21 Brassard
14:51 Sheahan
71:71 minutes of centers on the ice.

I feel like those top 3 deserve to stay there, but it would be pretty strange to only play Sheahan 4 minutes a game. Means you should shift them together sometimes, unless you think Sheahan is worse than your bottom line wingers (and deserves 4 minutes per game).

Malkin and Crosby will get joint PP time

I listen to a few shows on SiriusXM and they had Bill Waters stating they're basically on the fast track to Quebec.

PIT, obviously, doesn’t have much cap flexibility but will continue to look at trade possibilities. The oft-rumoured return of Matt Cullen to PIT is by no means guaranteed but it still could be a consideration before the deadline.


Not sure I understand this...

Based on an 80 Million $$ Cap next year the Penguins have 16M in space

Horn 5.5
Rust 3
Sheahan 2.5
Oleksiak 1.0
Simon 1.0

Leaves 3 Million in wiggle room

Kuhn, Sprong, Rowney, at 1 million at most and they can all be sent down to WBS to clear the cap hit

And you'd still have Hags and Hunwicks contract to potentially move to upgrade a player somewhere via FA or Trade

I doubt Hags is going anywhere, but I could see them moving Hunwick.

Lmao.......oh no, you don't like me

At least I don't sound like a jackass by falsely claiming an organization that is building a new rink is at the same time looking to move.

Ok, serious question...

What team will you root for when the Sens move to Quebec?
