I don’t think it makes sense unless Erod is part of the deal. Whether it’s in addition to Légaré/pick or whatever. Don’t need so many 4th liners. Especially with zar coming back. And it would prob then make a wash of the dollars.

Always need depth. Our team gets injured on the reg lol

POJ looks pretty damn good. Not sure I'm parting with him. We have so few prospects, I wouldn't let any of them go. Riikola....sure. Picks...sure.

People were talking about Legare. No way I'm trading him. I've seen him in camp too. He has qualities the Pens need. Big body. Tough to move. Wicked shot. He's got some Hornqvist in him with a better shot. From what I've read, he's also a tremendous locker room guy.

I think we'd have to move an NHL contract to fit Roslovic in. Maybe we can throw in Colton Sceviour or Ceci with whatever real asset we send their way haha.

I'd be hesitant trading Legare too. POJ I feel like is more realistic based on the insane logjam ahead of him and WPG need.

Need to see him in a gane and find out how long these injuries are before we know if POJ is expendable. He might suddenly be our 2nd best LHD.

Barring devastating long term injuries... even if he is our 2nd best LHD... the likelihood of him playing ahead of Matheson, Pettersson, and Riikola is really low. It sucks, but being realistic, that's how it will play out.

Roslovic can at least supplant Sceviour / ERod / ZAR as well as give us more center insurance.

So even if POJ has more value than Roslovic - I think Roslovic would have greater value to the Pens in the next 2 years.

Sullivan doesnt like him
- stackthepads

He hits to much. I’ve never seen so many players fall down trying to hit another player in a single game than I did last night.

I would not move POJ for Roslovic. And I am one that would like to add him.

I wish we had some idea of the injury situation. I have this feeling Pettersson's is a concussion and not his shoulder.

I meant in the event these injuries are long term. We already know Matheson's is. Petterson's looked bad. Could leave just Dumoulin, POJ, and maybe Riikola on the left. Need help there more then a bottom 6 forward.

Why would you want to supplant Sceviour. He’s one of the best forwards all season.

Same. I think POJ could be good soon, like 2LD. Roslovic might top out as bottom six. Not sure if he is a center going forward. Bottom six wingers aren't worth that much. We now have a need at LD. Not to mention Roslovic might be a malcontent.

This. Sceviour and jank have been good additions. I only see them getting more consistent as they get comfortable. I’m sure their points totals won’t remain in the upper tier of the team but I would not trade sceviour if I was replacing a 4th liner.

No fine to oshie for his hit but the caps were fined a 100k for being in close contact with each other with no mask. Damn

I think he can be had for cheap, that's why I say go at it. But definitely do not pay a huge price. My highest would be Legare. Just because I don't see Legare being any better or worse than Roslovic and Roslovic is ready to play right now.

This world is (frank)ed up. It's like the Oregon governor.. legalizes hard drugs then turns around and tells people to call the police on others who have too big of gatherings lol. Some whack (frank)ing peeps.

I was one who said Scevior was trash in the first game but he's been damn solid on that 4th line.

Looking back at the hit, it was a clean hit. Clean but brutal. Shoulder to shoulder.

Hockey players are who they are by age 13. You can’t expect a 22 year old hockey player to learn something new. How do you expect a 33 year old carpenter from the mountains to learn something new? How’s Simon by the way?

The fact that not one teammate thought to challenge Oshie says all you need to know about Sullivan the ship he runs. Not a team at all.

I know plenty of mountain folk and they can totally evolve. I have not paid attention to what Simon's doing. I only concern myself with how he performed here and he performed well.

I can get behind that actually to a degree, but they focused on the bigger goal tying the game and winning. That's a strong message IMO.

He was being sarcastic and mocking people who correctly say that players usually don’t develop a whole lot past the age of 24.

I'm three Manhattans in.

New recipe: 2oz of bourbon. 1oz of sweet vermouth. Instead of bitters, a few dashes of MAGA tears. Delicious.
