I would love to have Pearson and Muzzin on our team. I still would also love Grabner as well due to his speed, but I doubt it happens. I could see Pearson jumping right in on the 2nd line and doing well. I think maybe they dress sprong tonight to showcase him especially because coyotes are rumored to he interest in him. I would love to see ZAR and Wilson keep up there energized play though.

I think we could see Maata, Hagelin, Rust, or Sprong moved. I couldn't see them moving Guetzel, Kessel or Letang or any of the Big named players. Doubt he admits JJ was a bad signing this early. Unless he is worried about being on the hotseat

If hate to trade for Grabner because it'd prob cost us Sprong. And that is awful asset mgmt.

do you all think the bigger need is at forward or defense?

I struggle with this...with a healthy lineup (Schultz and Brassard) I think our D can manage and would go for a LW. But as it stands now, we could desperately use a D.

I would hesitate trading for "Sid's right winger" because you never know who he will have chemistry with and we have so many RW's already.

What about a Hornqvist /Nylander based deal?
- YouMeAndDupuis9

I joked about a Horn/Nylander deal in the other thread, but I highly doubt TOR takes a deal like that.

The bigger need? It's hard to say because the weaknesses are all around the lineup. I think quite a few players on this team need a change of scenery. I'm not necessarily thinking the Pens need to upgrade, but they also need comparable players who also need a change of scenery.

If there was only some way to get Nylander.

What about something along the lines of Sprong for Manson or Montour

Not a chance, besides Montour MIGHT be heading north of the border pretty soon.

Yeah. It's hard to gauge one bad game though.

New coach and the team looks worse than the Flyers from a few weeks ago.

I would love to get Nylander, but I dont want to help Toronto and I know it would take an over payment to get him. Plus I think he is looking for Kessel money

I would do that if it were Grabner and a pick (the pick and another player were used in another trade to upgrade the team), but I see them scouting Rust as well since rumors had Rust being asked for in Domi trade talks previously

Nylander is gonna get $6M to $7M unless he does a bridge deal with TOR.

Personally, I don't care if the Pens help Toronto or not. Nylander in the Pens' top six would be great.

Obviously I was extremely happy we moved Sheary right up until JR used the savings on JJ. Wish we had another Sheary to repeat the strategy to dump JJ. If and when the Sabres get to the playoffs, they'll quickly see his limitations.

Whatever the move/s he's contemplating, I hope it involves players that can skate. He should politely ask Cullen to retire too.
- madmike71

Cullen's salary counts even if he retires. He really should just be used as a spare part. Keep him around and play him when he is absolutely needed.

Yeah... I forgot about the over 35 clause. Still, I think Sullivan will always feel obligated to play the proud vet who had past glory with the team. It was an obvious mistake that everybody saw coming.

- kfinl170

are you trading them sprong or nylander?

What would you all think about Hornqvist, Maatta, and Sprong for Frolik, Bennett, and Stone. Thoughts anyone?

They're better off in Stockton! Pass!!

So ugly. It’s like they’ waiting for GMJR to drop the hammer.

Great play maatta

So ugly. It’s like they’ waiting for GMJR to drop the hammer.
- Thorny87

It feels like if we win tonight, GMJR makes a Sprong for struggling player kind of move.

If we lost tonight, GMJR is blowing poop up.

I don’t want to trade Sprong for another player Sully won’t ice.

That wasn’t t off a stick. Wow

Nice play rusty

I like some of the pairings. I think Maatta has played well with Rikola tonight, Guetzel with Kessel, Crosby with Simon. I think ZAR continues to play pretty well and Wilson.
