Hopefully? It's not clear already that he is markedly better than Nylander?

Monahan was bad last season. Use that as leverage for lesser going their way.

I found the following when looking at line combinations from the last 2 cup winning Penguins teams, 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, to see who Phil the Thrill played with the most at even strength:

2015-2016
1. Malkin 50%
2. Hagelin 30%
3. Perron 22%
4. Kunitz 17%
5. Bonino 15%
6. Crosby 12%

2016-2017
1. Bonino 41%
2. Malkin 35%
3. Hagelin 31%
4. Kunitz 23%
5. Cullen 11%
6. Guentzel 7%
7. Scott Wilson 5%
8. Bryan Rust 3%
9. Hornqvist 3%
10. Crosby 2.75%

Sure looks like Phil the Thrill was not on Crosby's line during the 2015-2016 or 2016-2017 seasons, and he barely played with him at all during the 2016-2017 season.

I couldn’t remember if he was on Crosby’s or malkins line, but his most common line mate was one of them (happened to be Malkin). Was Guentzal flanking Crosby during those cup runs?

The overvaluing of teh 8th OA pick is amaizing.

Be more like Pittsburgh, Trade away assets to get good players now. (Dont trade your 15th for Kapanen though)

Pittsburgh hasnt had a first round pick in how many years, and they seem to be doing alright.

- ImThatGuy


I missed the part where the Sabres had Crosby and Malkin.

The Penguins also are going to make the Sabres rebuild look like childs play once those two retire

Sure looks that way, but given how young they are, things could still change.

Buy high, sell low, draft poorly, then pretend more trades will fix things.

Rumours that Danault wants out of Montreal.

He’d be a much better fit here than Monahan

The small sample size, say compared to the 6 total games Kahun played with the Sabres?

Jokiharju played almost 70 games this past season.

Olofsson was on pace to have more points then both of those players if it were not for the injury.

with barely any at EV and the ones at EV were never primary.

He's the definition of a passenger

on the 7th worst team in the nhl

I don't trust this franchise to develop top 4 d men


how many have we developed the last 20 years that would be a top 4 d man on a really good team?

could be another kotalik, minus shootout goals


not a bad thing, but if he is on third line making that cash for 6 years, I would be fine with it
