You know this is where I think I will have the most ambivalent feelings. If the opposing goalie makes that save I foresee a variety of break aways or odd man rushes coming back.

I just thought about how good I feel with Letang and Karlsson on this team with a game that goes into OT.

Really still shell shocked that we managed to pull off this trade the way we did. This was an arm chair GM level trade that would have been mercilessly mocked had one of us proposed it.

Anyways A off-season for Dubas. Got rid of all of our bad contracts excepted one, managed to bring in a future hall of famer, and got his guy in the draft. The only thing keeping him from a + is that he wasn’t able to get a 3C or address depth scoring but our bottom six finally has a coherent identity and solid if unspectacular players which hasn’t been the case for a while.

Yea he definitely gets an A for the off-season. If he manages to make any other moves to improve this team(we all know)I'll bump him up.

Extremely lucky. Think about this, we have had at least one of Lemieux, Jagr, Crosby, and Malkin playing on this team since 1984...that's gonna hit 40 straight years of having one them when we get into 2024.... (frank)ing nuts.

SJ fans were acting like the Pens would have to pay a 1st and top prospect for EK, then a 1st for retention, then on top of that more picks for taking back Granlund or Petry. I've been on there a few times to mock them

If they can hold their own and allow 4 lines to be rolled and give the top 6 a break, I’ll be really happy with that.

Ok soo who gets first chance to play with Sid and Rakell? I know another move could happen but just thinking with what we have now. I'm keeping Smith with Geno and Rust, I wanna get that line going.
- 668710


I’m kind of surprised máxime comtois is still available. He had one good year when he was higher up the lineup on a terrible Anaheim team. Big strong physical kid. Could be a good sleeper. But I’m guessing that team Canada investigation has something to do with his availability.

I don't know much about him but yeah if he's apart of that investigation no one is touching that haha.

I do think they’ll hold their own and will definitely be able to eat the minutes they need to. The problem is that scoring goals in the NHL is hard and even the greats go cold for a while. At some point we’re going to need depth scoring and that’s just not what any of these players do. We’re gonna have to win games 1-0, 2-1. Obviously Karlsson helps this a ton so we’ll see how it plays out but ideally I’d like to have one forward that’s good at scoring goals on that third line.

So obviously the answer is to trade our last bad player (Carter) for their good player (W. Nylander).
