Aside from being annoyed about the term of the Tanev contract, this forward lineup is going to be pretty solid. The important thing is that this is the type of lineup Sullivan wants to deploy. 4 lines that can constantly apply pressure.
The only glaring hole is one LD they need badly. On the JJ to Anaheim rumors, I'd love it if we just sent JJ and a 1st to bring Sprong back... just for fun. - MacPatty
... where the (frank) you gonna play Sprong? We already have too many mid 6 forwards. |

TIOPS reporting JJ to Anaheim potentially....Fingers crossed JR can pull it off and that they are close - 123Kid
I don’t think TIOPS has ever gotten a rumor right so I wouldn’t put stock into it. |

Think there are a lot of good middle six players on the roster but by season end you will find he is the 4th best.
One of my complaints about the Pens has been they never seem to have anyone who can shoot the puck and Galchenyuk certainly can. He is going to do really well on one of the top 2 lines. - MacPatty
Galchenyuk is a worse version of Kessel. |

I think he is a guy you could tack onto a JJ trade instead of a mid round pick. He isn't a bad player but definitely not ideal in the top 9. - MacPatty
Nah. This is wrong. |

He's repeating stuff that was out there a week ago, so maybe he gets this right. |

Not ideal top 9? Explain yourself. |

Was it really not clear that I am saying if Simon is in the top line then the Pens aren't fielding a great roster. |

Near every metric but Simon's own GF% says you are wrong, but okay. |

Well I was half joking but if you did that trade I'd move Rust for a draft pick and use the cap space to go after Gardiner. |

Top line and top 9 are definitely 2 different things |

Is Cam Fowler still good? Swap him for JJ +? |

I feel like Fowler's name alone is worth more than JJ.
Fowler cardboard cutout and a 7th round pick for JJ+ 5th round pick. |

Fowler is still just as good as Brendan Smith. |

Fowler has been significantly overrated his entire career. |

Show me his metrics away from Sid and Geno. I'm not saying he is terrible, but I do think he is a bit of a passenger. |

He is literally the opposite of a passenger lol |

You mean the metrics of his time on the 3rd line? Go back a few pages and look on your own. They've been posted a ton the last day or so.
He also has near no time with Geno, and more time was spent away from Sid than with him. You're being willfully ignorant. |

Why do you think he's a passenger? Why dont you like him overall? What are his cons to you?
These are legit questions I am wondering. |

WBS just signed Dustin Tokarski. I think this opens the door for Jarry to be moved. |

Not sure what an AHL backup has to do with Jarry. |

Or DeSmith, but yes this points largely to another trade coming. |
