I’m not a maf fanboy, but if Vegas is set on lehner who says no to this offer:

Matheson for maf? Do you even add jarry for them taking Matheson and to make the caps work?

At least we got rid of the worst starting goalie in the league

Matheson is straight up looking like one of the worst contracts in the nhl right now. At least MAF will expire soon.

Goal tending and team defense. They don't have it and I'm not sure they can fix those things.

It’s called balancing ..get rid of statistically the worst defensemen in the league and balance the universe by adding the worst contract

Easily our best game for the top 6. Both Geno and Sid looked great nearly every shift. Gotta figure out how to keep the puck out of our net.

I was never a fan of bringing back MAF, but maybe he's the spark this club needs. I'd do it in a heartbeat if we could somehow make the money work.....which is doubtful.

At this rate, they'll need to add someone. Still time for Jarry to turn it around.

Locker room could probably use someone to loosen things up.

Like I said earlier, this was the worst trade JR made as GM with the Pens.

I still have faith in Jarry. I thought he made many impressive saves that kept the Pens in this.

I really only fault him on one goal tonight.

Definitely the trade equivalent of the Johnson signing. Not at all shocked that they’re the same archetype of player

The only way it would work is if a team took Jarry free and clear, and Vegas retained 50%. I don’t think either one of those moves would be difficult to pull off, but I don’t see a high likelihood.

I think it’s worse than the JJ signing. I think the ramifications across the roster are more profound.

As others have said, LV says hell no. They are trying to clear cap. Taking on Matheson for them makes no sense.

We are stuck with him. He'd be movable with 2-3 years left. With how many he has left and how he has played, no GM in his right mind would trade for him.

Rutherford really franked us with that one. Would love to know what other teams were offering for Hornqvist

If it were legal, retaining Hornqvist at 100% salary for an 8th round pick would have been better than trading him for Matheson.

They could do Jarry and McCaan for MAF. I don't really want to give up on Jarry, but I don't want to waste a season of Sid/Geno hoping he plays better.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but McCaan got hurt. He's easy to forget.
- madmike71


Was hoping he would get moved out to Calgary for Bennett.

After tonight I feel like we need a good net clearing defender.

I didn’t have high expectations. I was just taking a wait and see approach to his performance, but I didn’t like the trade from the jump.

If I'm the next GM of the Pens I'm trying to convince VGK that they need Matheson and to give us Marchessault in return.

Matheson and DeSmith for Fleury

I'd strongly consider Matheson and Jarry for Fleury as well

Yeah like for instance on that 3rd goal against... If he was more aware or quicker he could of covered it. I'm a mixed bag on him this evening because he also made some very nice saves and stretches of solid play.

Just seems like one F up and its in the Pens net haha... Team played pretty solid for most part besides the goals against

If everyone did everything right on every play pitt would win every game 30-0

I was kidding. Nobody is taking Matheson unless they’re sending their own Matheson back.

a) Nothing
b) Nothing for Hornqvist with retention (ala Bjugstad)
c) Equally bad contract for Hornqvist with possible retention

Reports are there were teams wanting Hornqvist with better deals, but JR wanted Matheson.
