Robert Thomas (the 1st round pick in 2017 the pens traded for reaves), has a legit chance of making the blues lineup and is one of their best prospects. Blues GM speaking highly about him.

That could have been our possible 3rd line center for the future

The player the Blues drafted was Klim Kostin.

Matt Cullen?

Dreger saying Pens have signed him for 1 year. Who knows why.

So Cullen back on the Pens...

Does this mean Brass is gone? Is the the deal we're going to not see coming?

The missing piece. He is the only reason we won 2 cups in a row. he leaves and then we lose.. Now that he is back the cup will come back

That’s odd. I mean I love the guy but he seemed pretty cooked last season and we’re pretty high on Bleuger. Maybe he’s gonna be the new Tommy K?

I'm going out on a limb and saying Brass gets moved to Carolina is a major move for Skinner.

Not that I necessarily want Brass gone, but I hope you're right. They must have some reason for bringing Cullen back, and I hope it's not just something stupid like "we lost SO much 'veteran leadership' last season...."

The only two options I see is the following:

Brass moves to the wing or he's moved out for a wing.

Yea that's literally all that can happen.

I’ve always hated Johnson as a player but man he seems so happy to be here like a huge weight has come off his shoulders. Would be a great story if he succeeds.

Ugh they better not ..what kinda defenseman could Brass of fetched in a trade?

They traded the pick that was Klim Kostin, but nice try

The Pens also received a pick in the 2nd round about 20 picks later.... so...

Reaves also helped us get Brassard

RIP Sprong

Brassard and Sprong for Skinner is a horrendous trade.

There's no other defensive moves to made right now, broseph. The Pens are all shored up.

The only thing I can see is Brass now moves to wing or brings in a wing. UNLESS Cullen is purely a depth move and doesn't dress every night.

Cullen is still good at faceoffs, PKing and can play wing no sweat...but I really hope this doesn't mean Brass is gone.

Yeah, don't love it, but can I get some love for calling this?

Oh wait, is that official?

EDIT: My bad. I thought you were saying it was deal that was done.

I mean instead of signing Johnson, what calibre of a Dman + could they of gotten for a 2C with a 3mill cap hit?

What??

Sheahan didn’t re-sign as a Free Agent to play 4C

He was probably told he’d be 3c and that means Brass is going to the wing or going out of town

Does it really matter at this point? I don't want to sit and think of what they could have done.

Dads Back!

GMJR is a genius!

Hopefully they manage his minutes and games played. Awesome depth move!

Hahaha me neither... it was a rhetorical question that needed explaining...

We'll see what happens, Brass said he'll play wing so it's anyone's guess with whatever happens

$650 for a guy who will turn 42 in November.

He`s not gonna play 82 games and will make that locker room better. I like the move. Essentially another coach who can help the younger guys and can spot-play.
