Hahaha sorry bro

Is this real or just an idea lol don't do this to us!

All you need to do to figure out if something is real rn is if it makes sense, it is most certainly not...pens management clearly don't have good ideas / make good decisions.

Hextall is a Philly double agent. No other explanation for this shizzle show.

Don't let Brian Burke off the hook here. He's a big part of this. So old school stupid

Hextall essentially traded Blueger for Granlund and all he had to do was downgrade your 2nd rounder this year to a 3rd.

You should make that trade 7/7 days of the week if that's the cost. Pens fans should be excited.

With Mcginn stuck in WBS and an eve worse bottom 6 somehow. Yea we're (frank)ing ecstatic over here

In completely unrelated news: I’ve become the joker.

Barnaby’s shoes is just taking waaaayyyy over your allotted milligrams of lexapro and living on cloud 9. Just happy to be here.

I just keep going back to the fact that the Penguins had a clear choice. Either take a step back, admit you arent a good enough team this year, sell off some assets, and then use your new capital to rebuild this roster with a smarter and better hockey mind than Ron Hextall.

It would be a tough pill for a lot of people to swallow, including Crosby/Malkin/Letang, but they arent stupid. They know this team sucks. You could've sold them on the idea that this retool will be quick and will put us in a better spot.

I honestly wonder how much of it is us chasing a playoff appearance just to keep the streak going? If so, both the Steelers and Penguins are determined to be average for no reason other than ego.

It's honestly unreal he had the ability to have ~$9M in cap space had he not signed Kap, Carter and Rutta last summer.

Really? I always thought he was the most obvious guy to dump besides maybe Dumo. Blueger stinks now so glad to get a pick.
- Tojo.

Yeah he does stink now but I think he could rebound. Don't really care for the Pens to see if he does or not.

Clarify old school as in gets a name in his head of a guy who was good a few year ago and thinks they're still good

Hahaha sorry bro

All good lol I joke I joke, I kid I kid 🤣

One of the funniest things about all of this is that the penguins managed to get:
-older
-less cap flexible in the future
-no better on the ice.

Punt Ron Hextall into the sun.

Hasn’t he played wing more than center in his career as well?

That is a gross oversimplification
