Hall is going to net a first and a prospect still. There are a lot of teams that will view him as their Kessel type addition that puts them over the top.

Probably not going to be the Pens unless Buffalo is interested in Petterson and a 2nd.

Seem a very steep price for a UFA that has not been very good this season. Not just not scoring, but making mistakes as well.

Yeah, he’s playing like garbage all around.

For sure it will be a lot that is paid for him but it's a gamble I think a lot of teams would look at taking. He is playing like poop, but so is everyone on that roster.

Question is... what could he do if he joined a contender that didn't need him to be their go to guy and instead used him as a source of secondary scoring.

I dont think the Pens are in play at all but imagine Hall-Blueger-Tanev out there as a line. HBT wouldn't be far off of the HBK line.

And Marino will never be and NHL defenseman.

He sucks too.

He would be the pens best winger lmao.

I have no doubt he will find his game, but right now he's playing like hot garbage and since the Pens have limited assets to use, I'd rather see them spend them on players who aren't currently playing like poop.

He sucks too.
- Feds91Stammer

You really are a one trick pony lol

I'd absofvckinglutely take on Hall. He's still a threat when he's on the ice. Isn't his shooting % in the sh!tter?.. I just think with a fresh start on a winning team you're gonna see major a major uptick in production. Some team is going to give a few pieces including a 1st. Can't see him being feasible for Pens.

Since it must be so deep of a defensive market then please let us know of all these lower end top 4 dmen that are available?
Also since you wanna compare, let us know which wings dman is getting dealt this year for a 2nd round pick minimum as all the guys you mentioned got at a minimum a 2nd round pick plus.
Just so we aren’t being biased tsn trade bait board has 8 dmen of the 25 players listed... the bottom 6 are Deangelo(can’t even give him away), kulikov(see Deangelo), Miller, Marc staal and montour... wow really deep market there... the next name on the list is 35 year old goligoski at an outstanding 3 points in 29 games on the year! As tsn called him “a decent bottom pair dman at this point in his career”
What a deep market!!! Hahahaha

Ryan Murray
Goligoski

Is a decent list and I'm sure a lot of them could be had for the right price.

I’d say there is probably 60-70 more dmen available for the right price personally.
Just tsn and E.Freids havent sniffed onto them yet though either.

Nah bro he’s just playing like garbage right now. Just like how Malkin is lazy.

You're an internet cliche and I'm not surprised. You poop on everyone and everything here. You're likely a nobody in real life and this is your place to feel like a big shot. So please, continue. Tell me I'm dumb. "He sucks" "You're dumb" "They suck" etc...

Damn you guys are being too easy for Feds tonight, he's fishing with dynamite in a bucket lol

If you think Matheson gets walked around easily and makes bad mistakes take in 5 games of montour and you’ll be happy with Matheson again hahaha

POJ sucks.

Reasonable people do not accept his statements as fact.

The Pens obviously need to trade from the Defense for offense. I’d definitely find out what Marino is worth to some other teams. Really don’t want to read blogs about how great Taylor Halls fancy stars are while he puts up no real numbers. I’d be fine with Staal for PEtterson but I’d be willing to bet there’s much better offers out there for Staal.

I agree we should definitely trade for gudbranson.

It's ironic that a win for Feds is everyone on the internet realizing what everyone in the real world knows... loser.

Speaking of fishing with dynamite, he should hop on in that bucket with the fish.

Staal is off the board now but I think your point about looking into Marinos value is interesting. I don't think he is having as bad of a season as some think, he has regressed a bit but I still see him settling in as a Letang replacement in a couple years.

Remember, Letang had a couple of just ok years around Marinos current age and I think he was 24 when he really broke out. Marino is about on the same pace.

Question is, would someone out there make a massive offer for him based on that potential. His contract *could* be an absolute home run. I'd trade anyone for the right price, just not sure what that would be with Marino.

I agree we should definitely trade for gudbranson.
- Grinder47

I don't think RD is a big need, but I'd actually be all for bringing in Gud if the need arose. Ceci has been solid so far though.

So I've seen people here saying the Pens have been scouting Zona a fair bit....well...Burkie is a massive Phil Kessel guy. One of the Phil's biggest fans. I wouldn't be surprised if they're considering bringing him back.
