You were singing his praises for a hot minute.

Lol no. He was a warm body capable of some occasional offense. He scored some flukey goals to start the year. I was hoping he played well enough to trade for like a 3rd.

I think it’s pretty accepted that we went after Saad.
- Victoro311


Right, but a lot of people here seem to believe, are mad and blame Hextall for not signing him, including RW, when just maybe the Pens had zero chance of doing so.

Hextall sucks. You cant blame the previous admin for your moves going forward. You let Tanev and McCann go and only bring in McGinn and EROD? Pathetic. What on his resume says he had success in Philly?

Letang and Malkin will be UFA's next season. The team needs to be in the playoffs to be in the black. You either A. pay a premium for them and keep the roster poopty or B. move them at the deadline for futures. I cant see either taking a cut just to stick around for the (frank) of it.

Hex really couldnt get Saad for $4.5? WTF is he doing in his job then?

Crosby is the ultimate competitor. He's not riding this ship into the ground. If this isnt a competitive team, he demands a move after a year or so.

I've talked to a lot of season ticket holders the last day, myself included. A lot are not coming back.

Even though both are on record stating they want to retire Penguins.

I was being serious, my buddy does actually play with Saad's cousin. That's what was relayed to me.

Johns said the same thing, didn't want the added pressure of playing of playing in the local market.

It's pretty sad that 2 days into free agency and you are already throwing the season away.

Well, this why Hexy was fired in Philly being complacent and overly cautious....i do think most gm's would have at least upgraded the goalie position to push Jarry... hate to waste the last years of crosby, malkin, letang on another first round lost in the playoffs.

We lost Tanev at 3.5 million and added Heinen and McGinn for a combined 3.85 million next season. Hopefully we grab another player or 2. Gudbranson is still a FA he could be a good 3rd RHD option for us.

I feel Friedman will be that guy.

Crosby Malkin and Letang should probably play better if they don’t want to lose in the first round again.

Career 82 game average wise

McGinn ~= Tanev
Heinen ~= McCann

- Feds91Stammer

Actual game of hockey wise everyone would rather have Tanev. 32 GM’s and every possible teammate in the nhl.

I do find it funny that the fan base complains about every single goalie we have had. We don't like Flower let Murray play. We don't like Murray we lost the playoffs and should have let Jarry play the whole series. Jarry is the reason we lost in the playoffs again. It's always the goalie not the players who are always in the crease and we have no D to help the goalie out.

Ya gotta be kidding me right? Already talk of season ticket holders not coming back? You've won 3 Cups the last decade or so and still have some very good players to watch on any given night. Truly a bandwagon hockey town.

Yeah man the whole town is just like that because of one persons comment. If we’re gonna stereotype then Pel is the first 3 letters of peloton which is gay as aids so I guess you are too.
