When Fleury got shipped to Vegas I predicted he would solidify his case for the HOF. Certainly feels like he has by now.

Yes...great Pen!

He had some tough years with us. But since leaving he has played in a goalie friendly systems for coaches that insulate him! He played great tonight....have we won a cup since shipping him off? Do you think the guys miss him?

Malkin had pretty damn good stats. So maybe everyone should stop complaining about him then.

Malkin line was bad this game, those stats are the whole season not this game.

It’s close to 12 million in cap hit...who is going the other way
- Malkin

Dude..one of them not both lol

Even though I knew it was technically the right thing to do (Keeping Murray over MAF) I was on record with my buddies I'd rather keep Flower even if it meant 100% that we'd never win another Cup with him

Now I'm not sure we'll ever win one without him

Burke is not looking at that crap...it was not part of the Curriculum at Harvard business school

I was responding to the statement that Malkin’s had good stats, which he hasn’t, but whatever dawg.

That was my mistake. I was originally commenting on just the last game where I thought his stats were good, but as I scrolled to the right on natural stattrick I actually ended up looking at the persons stats 1 line below his, which were Rust’s. I know the chart you posted was for the season, my original comment wasn’t regarding that though. I’m just illiterate.

E5, much more to come.

It's ok, beginning of the season. You'll improve as the season goes on.

Barnaby says give me a chance. I have about a decade of bad stats saying this is just the way that I am, but I think a fresh start here and I’ll be a new me.

Lol

I'm glad Matheson had a good game, so I don't say this with any expectations based on this game, it's simply what I would imagine is in their minds...

If Matheson continues on this trajectory, it makes Dumo or Petts a huge trade piece to upgrade the forward group.

That said, I'm not putting the cart before the horse. I'd like to see MM put together a string of games like this before getting excited here.

I'd probably shop Dumoulin and McCann right now. Winger for Geno. Marchessault or Hoffman would be decent gets.

You're a mean F$@K lol

Keep Matheson, Pettersson and shop Dumo/McCann

Didn’t realize Rust is PPG right now until Yohe tweeted it.

Why shop Dumo?

He had some apples at the beginning of the season but he wasn’t a burying the biscuit. Seems to have regained his scoring touch recently and that’s a very good thing for the Pens.

Why shop Dumo?
- Feds91Stammer

Yeah. Gotta shop Pettersson. He’s gonna bring back a better return IMO.

Pettersson for Fabbri? Can be the 3c.

I can throw in Bobby Ryan too.

Assuming we only have the horses to cobble together one major acquisition, what do you think is more important to this team? Scoring winger with a right shot or a 3C?

Scoring winger with a right shot I think. Honestly.. I might wait a few weeks to see what the PP looks like right now, as last game they looked like they had a purpose. If that continues, I wouldn't care if it was LW or RW that could score, just one that could push Zucker or Kap down the lineup.

I think I agree. If ZAR-Blueger-Tanev can continue to find offense that’s your third line. I prefer to bet on them and give Malkin a finisher. Then maybe you can try McCann back at C with whoever gets bumped down from Zucker and Kapanen to see if they can make a more offensively potent bottom six line to compliment the ZAR-Blueger-Tanev line

This would be my goal too. Help both lines by helping geno. I think the way rust is scoring again will have to make teams pay attention to him on the pp. McCann with either zucker or Kap could be a fairly tenacious forechecking line.

Hextall and Burke in the press box for pens practice today. Looks like they are monitoring hard.. but what are they monitoring...

That's kind of what I was thinking. McCann-Kap or Zucker-McCann on a line, and replace one of them with a goal scorer for Geno. Then the only plug on the roster is Scevouir. BUT I also think that... packaging McCann and Pettersson could bring back a nicer return.

I honestly don't know enough about MTL's blue line... but I wonder if they'd have an interest in Pettersson? Pettersson for Tatar? Similar cap hits.

Honestly, what I liked the best was the puck movement on the PP. It wasn't just perimeter passing, they moved around to open lanes and then fed pucks through those lanes.

I would think my only concern for McCann Kap, or zucker McCann, would be finishing. They sound like 2/3’s of a faster buzz saw. Might be an ideal shot for Poulin/Légaré to come up as snipers for the line. Sheltered minutes with 2 responsible players could make up for their lack of readiness to have a (hopeful) finisher on the line with no acquisition cost. At least worth a 9 game sample anyways.
