Hahaha I mean the only real thing we could hang our hat on is the Rak trade... The extending of Geno, Letang and Rust for these prices was a no brainer... The rest has been garbage.
With regards to Myers... He's a RD... 6 mill... 10 points in 55 games. They're not gonna have another 6+ mill righty dman are they? Trade Rutta?... No way theyre having 18 mill on the right side hahah... Cant be THAT dumb... - MattStrat
The Carter trade was a good deal at the time. I'm actually less worried about Hextall making deals at the TDL than I was GMJR.

Not over Pettersson though.
The right move was to move Dumoulin and not to touch the rest of the D. We rejiggered the deck chairs for no reason and lost a lot of cap flexibility to it. - Victoro311
I agree. I just can't get over his fixation with acquiring Veteran players. Thankfully he is going against his normal trend and trying for Chychrun. |

Good trade. Get some value for a guy that isn't coming back. |

The way Yohe is tweeting it sounds like Hextall’s time here is ending. Made a comment that the people who matter wanted trades made ages ago - Victoro311
Why didn't they just fire him |

Blueger was the first prospect I really followed (barring rust) when I started seriously following the penguins. Saw him play in the hockey east tourney while I was college. He turned into quite the solid player and was part of some really good 4th lines. Not denying that this season has been abysmal but I’ll miss him. - Victoro311 Yeah, I'll miss him too. Unfortunately the one ace he had to stay, the PK, has gone to crap.
First prospect for me was Talbot. Went to a lot of WBS games back then. He was "superstar" well before he made the bigs. Other 2 from that team I really thought were going to be something were Carcillo and Michel Ouellet(so much for my scouting skills lol). Also did get to see Biz and Whitney play together in one game.

Any clue on who we are clearing space to acquire? - 123Kid
Asked but got the middle finger emoji back haha he thinks if mcginn got claimed chychrun was a penguin 100%.
Looking at those 2 offers though I think sens might be the better offer. 2 1sts with 2 players going back or a 1st and 2 2nds. Sens 1st higher then pens, then its would you rather 2 senators 2nds or 1 penguins 1st? |

Probably felt that going into the deadline with someone they didn’t like but was familiar with the situation was a lesser evil than going into the deadline with a new hire that was still evaluating everything. |

I am still hoping for Miller and Garland. Any word if they are shopping Dumo or Zucker? |

I disagree….while carter was good for a season they still failed in the playoffs and it resulted with an extension for whatever reason. I give that trade a d-. Rak is really the only good trade he’s done. |

Or… he isn’t calling the shots 100% by himself right now….. |

Penguins are actually trading for Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson.
But in all seriousness, theres no way Hextall would just randomly waive Kapanen and McGinn and trade Blueger. Something big is coming. |

I mean that’s in line with not wanting to have a new hire at the helm for the deadline. Bench the guy you know you’re going to fire but call on him for insight where it’s appropriate. |

I think we’ll get Miller. Too much smoke, too much cap jiggering. It’s a good move and I hope it happens. If we get another winger ontop of Miller I’ll actually be quite happy. |

It seems like they're going for a C to me... If they're awknowledging that Kap, McGinn and Bluey are probs there's no way they think Carter isn't one too, Carter has been fine or that he's fine for being C on the 3rd line... Pretty sure Hex AND Sullivan have both said they like guys who can play C and wing... Swiss army knives...
JT Miller come on down... See ya around the ides of March when you're healed.. |

Goaltending has sunk the Pens the past 2 years, nothing else. Hextall should be fired for not having addressed that. |

He was their #23 ranked prospect in their system. He has moved his way up their ranks. I believe this is his first year in the AHL. |
