They said on the fan that Sid changed into a full contact jersey midway through practice.

It’s in the blog...

McCann, north of 4M, maybe even north of 5M if they do a long-term deal. 3M if it's a bridge deal.
- Tojo.

Think he's worth more than Rust? I guess we did just sign Tanev to 3.5 so maybe youre on to something. I feel his versatility and age are a big factor.

Saad is better and has more term. Toffoli is a good value addirion. Before Jake, I'd have said Toffoli because I thought they could use a RW more, now I say Saad because it effects next year too and that might be a better chance. I'd add both if possible.
- Tojo.

Toffoli > Saad

A 1st and a meh prospect or a 2nd and a top prospect.
- Feds91Stammer

That's about what I thought. One prime asset and a decent secondary asset.

Over/Under on the number of points Kovy puts up on is tomorrow???
- Beatnic57

If he plays with Tatar 5. If not 1.

Toffoli > Saad
- Feds91Stammer

I'd take Krieder over both of them.

lol, i'm relaxed. I meant geesh as in if thats what it took to get Saad i wouldnt want him. Question for you, I seen that youre high on Troffoli. Who would you rather have of the 2?

Toffoli

Unless they brought up Desmith knowing they have a deal in place for Murray and Desmith will stay up with Jarry. Probably the unlikely scenario

I'm assuming he's going to easily break 20 goals, something Rust and Tanev didn't do when they signed their deals, so yeah I think he gets more. Still fairly young and a former 1st rounder.

Rust may be worth more at this moment, but wasn't before.

I'd take Krieder over both of them.

I would as well, but I don't think the Pens will want to pay the inter-division tax they will get hit with.

#Pens coach Sullivan said they are going to recall Casey DeSmith to meet the team in Montreal. "We are going to leave Tristan at home because we have a 5 o' clock game on Sunday. (With the) back-to-back, we just think it makes sense." Murray will start vs. MTL, Jarry vs. FLA. -MC

DeSmith is getting moved. Only thing that makes sense to me. You don't risk losing a player for nothing for this type of a situation.

I'd take Krieder over both of them.

They are all in the same tier. Toffoli is probably the most cost effective.

I think I’d take Toffoli as it would be cheaper to acquire and he actually shoots right. Both would be ideal tho lol

He definitely has a better overall game than Saad. I do like Saad because they get him for one more year. However, if they could pre-negotiate an extension for Toffoli that would be sweet.

I mean all this talk ignores that in all likelihood GMJR trades Simon and a 2nd for Glendening.

RW says DeSmith will have to clear waivers, Taylor H from DK's site he doesn't...anyone know what the rules actually are and aren't guessing?

A player does not need to pass through waivers if the player has not been on the NHL active roster for a cumulative 30 days since last clearing waivers, and has not played in 10 or more NHL games. CBA Reference 13.2(b)

Feds straightened me out on this recently, go with his explanation. In the last CBA you had to go back through waivers, but that got changed.

Regardless, this move makes no sense. Calling up DeSmith so Jarry doesn't have to sit on the bench for a night?

Don't know how much of a difference it makes, but the Sunday start is less than 24 hours than the Habs start. Not sure I get it either. Could the clunk to the head last night be a consideration? He practiced full today....apparently.

This situation is extremely common in the NHL. Teams don't regularly call up a goalie so their starter doesn't have to sit on the bench because of a back-to-back.
