JJ said the same thing when he first got here haha "comfortable on both sides of the ice"

Another DK article ad in my newsfeed...this one about Sceviour. Not sure if you guys can read it or not.

I just read this article like 10 minutes ago. We didn't need Sceviour tbh but that's OK.

Everyone forgot about Aston-Reese. Are we ready to move on from him? I'd deal him with Murray if anyone takes Jacko with them.

He is out until January/February

Can we please talk about the big breaking news? Bobby Ryan is being bought out.

Boom! Wow.

Palmer's dream will finally become a reality.

Well, if signing him doesn't have JJ written all over it I don't know what does.

Then again, if winds up costing like $1M it's a pretty low risk high reward signing.

omg... someone get Jagr on the horn quick

Clearly Ottawa is buying out Ryan so they can take JJ in a Murray/JJ trade

He's a perfectly average $3 million player. He was just way too expensive.

- BINGO!

Agreed. I'm hoping given his situation he's willing to take a 1 yr $1M contract to prove that he's turned things around. He could be a solid 3RW.

We need the 1st three overall picks in 2005 on our roster.

All the same, if Bobby could be had for a mill I'd totally take a flyer on him.

If his health recovered from last year I’d take him for a Mil

All JR has to do to fit Bobby Ryan for 1 to 2 mill is buyout JJ. That's it. You subtract JJ and Horny and add Bobby Ryan to the bottom 6 and the Pens are better.

He's a right shot that can actually shoot the puck. Might even help PP.

EK is reporting Vegas may actually buy out Fleury. If that happens, well, you know what comes next.

Idk if it’s a forward upgrade but obviously the solution is getting rid of JJ which is not happening.

Cocaine and hookers?

I wonder why OTT didn't just try to move him and retain 50%. I'm sure they could have found a taker for that and not be on the hook for four years instead of two.

I mean, of course, but you know we will be flooded with MAF to the Pens rumors for the next two weeks.

They do need to spend 22 million in order to get to the cap...

Its not the dumbest logic to hope/pray Ottawa would take JJ and like... a 4th round pick in return for a 7th as a cap dump. Just dumb to think JR would give up on his dream of having JJ bend him over for some 'grit' action

Doesnt he have injury concerns? And alcohol-ism concerns?

Not trying to be a Richard... genuinely curious... and that would probably make this risk greater than the potential reward

Random thought...

Let's say one of Dumo or Pettersson are most definitely getting moved. If an extension can be pre-negotiated, would you move either one to NJ for Palmieri +? Does it make sense for both teams? Only one team? No teams?
