This Loss is more embarrassing than the beat down the Oilers gave. This is also a tanking Caps team that is beating the snot out of the Pens

Take 2 drafts
- Just5


My concern is GB will retire before this draft.....'cause we're going to be a lottery team.

Morrow was the 81st ranked prospect in the league and this was his write up:

"Who doesn’t love a dynamic puck-moving defenseman who is always in attack mode? Scott Morrow plays a high-octane style and he’s always quick and decisive in transition. He shows great speed, edges, and confidence in his movement when attacking off the rush and he always has the opposition on their heels trying to predict his next move. Morrow has produced a ton of offense in the NCAA, accumulating 64 points in 72 games through his freshman and sophomore seasons, with another 30-40 point season likely on the way this season. Defensively, he’s still a work in progress, but you can’t deny his ability to generate offense."

A top 100 prospect is better than I was bracing for. Maybe not super sexy but at least the trade isn’t a disaster.

The Pens aren't exactly giving much effort. Sid's just skating around again. The last 3 games he has no goals or assists and is -7.

So Bunting, and Morrow.


Drury and Jarvis, and Nikishin were also some names connected to us so maybe one of them? A pick? Multiple picks?

I'm praying it's Graves going with Jake.

Why play anyone who would be involved in a trade? Those longer contracts move in the summer if we’re lucky.

4th Period speculating that the hold up might be that Carolina is working out an extension with Jake.

If so, I'll be really interested what it is and will have no doubt we should've just paid him that instead.

For what its worth - Rossi says its a good package.

If Graves got hurt it would increase his value, so makes sense to play him.

Could definitely improve the return of he's signing an extension

Back-to-back games against BOS and EDM this weekend. Any guesses as to what the combined score of those games will be? Could get really really ugly.

- Victoro311

So what’s the chances RW has a burner he’s been using to comment and forgot to switch when he made that comment?

lol it’s greater than 0%

He's on pace for about 17g and 49pts. At least he didn't fall off a cliff offensively. Though I definitely have my concerns as well
- Tojo.


Point drops will happen when you leave Austin Matthews side. He’s prob a decent mid 6 winger.

Yeah… I’m really praying JR is having nightmares because he doesn’t have Jake and he’s gonna wake up last minute and give us the whole farm.

He's on pace for the same points and about six less goals as last year. 96 pdo. I see some upside, and those are still second line numbers. I'm not willing to put money down on the fit, but I can see it working out, though not to 60 points. 20 goals 50 points and adding a physical element to the top 6 feels reasonable.

bunting is interesting bc he’s somewhat of a feisty player and the pens have zero of that. He also doesn’t particularly excel in anything and is a minus player on Carolina who’s usually defensively stout. I’ll reserve judgement until I see what the remainder of the package is.

Is Bunting anything like a Kunitz type? Could be an up and down the lineup guy

Cmon, RWs ego is so damn large. He can’t stay away from telling everyone their opinions are wrong.

I think it’s funnier the guy has advocated for mental health but goes online and trolls people calling them “dippoops” for literally no other reason besides sharing an opinion

I’d say that’s what he was in Toronto , not sure he was deployed that way in Carolina as much.
