Nah his 2nd job is running a cult of morons that defend his god awful play.
- Feds91Stammer

Nah, his second job is living in people heads and I heard his hobby is collecting hate. So many people love donating to his collection!

Personally I wouldn't touch Kane with a ten foot pole. He's far too much of a liability and has cost the Sharks plenty. Everyone else on that list I like and will always gravitate toward players under term, but as I've said I think the Pens should be getting one rental and one player under term this year.

I think Toffoli or Granlund + either Zucker, Tatar or Saad would be great. I don't bring up Hoffman because I'll believe he gets traded when I see it.

Maybe Kane will be better now that he is going broke and being sued by casinos He is banned from multiple casinos in Vegas now. Guess a lot of people here wanted him when the sharks got him though just not the player id ever want.... Gambling half a mill in debt with a playoff game the next day...

Too bad his parents collected all his money lol.

Seems like a great guy that’s focused on winning

Tatar > Zucker
- Feds91Stammer

I'd say theyre pretty close. Zucker is cost controlled for more years. And if the Wild are interested in Bjugstad, that would be better than trading 1st/top prospect.

I refuse to acknowledge this sort of negativity. As a fan of a team that is largely successful due to winning a couple draft lotteries I find your post to be extremely insensitive. The league is better when Detroit is good. You have been reported.

Whiny millenial

Drouin and Gallagher will help next year provided they stay healthy. I don’t think they are too far from competing. It just doesn’t help when more than likely 5 metro teams are playoff bound so you need to crack that top 3.
- 10inchTerror

I think Montreal can be in the mix for a playoff spot as constructed, but not a contender.

Zucker is also locked up longer and younger. Would be real nice to get a winger that we can just have for the remaining time we have before Crosby, Malkin, and Letang become skating corpses. My list probably goes:

1. Zucker
2. Tatar
3. Saad
4. Kreider
5. Hoffman
6. Toffoli
7. Kane

Not a bad list of guys that have at least been credibly linked to being available. Otherwise Rakell or Craig Smith would be closer to the top of my list.

I look at it this way...most of the players you listed are in the same echelon. I'd prioritize it by:
- Years of control
- Whether we could trade Bjugstad or Galchenyuk as part of the deal
- Fit (including when Jake gets back)

So 1 stud and 6 mediocre guys. Weird list.

Aren’t you the main dude that always shoots down trade proposals for good players because we don’t have enough amo?

Nope. You definitely have the wrong guy. I might shoot down the scraps for a good player offers.

btw - what happened to Adam Lowry? he is usually mentioned every TDL...and I dont watch WPG games but I just noticed he has atrocious metrics. Was he actually being propped up by Tanev?

But I heard all off-season it was the other way around!

Actually with that defense, it's hard to have good metrics.

Could of been that as a duo they succeeded. I’ve always liked Lowry but I haven’t paid much attention to Winnipeg this year. But as mentioned above losing all top 4 dmen will be a hit to the team.

As a team they dropped like 5% in xGF%, add to that the loss of someone like tanev and I can see his numbers dropping that much.

Adam Lowry is mentioned at every deadline on here by specifically you haha.

Scraps is kinda all we got. Addison and Hallendar are good for us prospects, but I don’t think they’re that impressive for the rest of the league.

It also comes down to what other teams are willing to give up. Them having better prospects doesn’t necessarily mean they’re willing to give up better ones than the Pens.

Haha... yes true. Though finally I don't think he's a need anymore. We have a competent 3C (two of them actually) + a shutdown line.

Look what Hall went for. You don’t need to give up a ton.

Too bad his parents collected all his money lol.

JJ is so good he doesn't need money to exist, he simply turns hate into prana!

Nah his 2nd job is running a cult of morons that defend his god awful play.
- Feds91Stammer

The only thing god awful are the Red Wings.

Blake Coleman would be a nice sneaky add for relatively cheap IMO

If I recall part of the reason he went for less was because teams weren't allowed to negotiate an extension.

Back to back 20 goal seasons and 3 shorties in each of the last 3 seasons... He might not actually be that cheap. But he could be a good center add that way we can keep McCann at wing.

Either way it doesn’t take a ton to get guys.

Nyquist while not a star player went for a 2nd and conditional 3rd.

Johansson went for a 2nd and a 4th.

Zuc went for a 2nd and a 3rd.

These were all pure rentals but you can see that you can get quality forwards for cheap.
