I expect better from you. That is downright awful. Hronek is a beast.

Hronek has top pair potential man. He is basically untouchable for me.

So back to trading Phil Kessel.... everyone seems to be ignoring Kessel for E Kane. Is it because of E Kane's 3 team trade list? Penguins are obviously everyone's favorite... just look at 4+ years ago when we believed players would take pay cuts to come play here.

Or are we doing realistic trade ideas? Because (frank) doing those.

TIOPS states this is his last season unless the Pens go deep. Personally I think it’s all BS. I believe he’s here for at least another season.

I was about two drinks deep of Trader Joe’s Kentucky Bourbon. Given, my pours are larger than a normal 1.5 oz pour.

IMO if Kessel were to get moved it would be for a top four dman leading the Pens to move one of their dmen out for a top-six dman.

Yup. Malkin would have been gone years ago if TIOPS had any credibility. Have they broken literally anything before?

I'm really more curious at this point with the goalie direction of the Pens. Nobody, including myself, has been taking DeSmith very seriously in regards to being a starter and that's probably to do with his age.

However, he's putting up starter numbers. Can he keep that up? This is where I'm curious to see the Pens' mind-set. Are the Pens going to ride this out and keep Murray out of the lineup? Are they going to make a move to bring a Miller or Howard and the move Murray out?

Regardless, I can't see them keeping Murray on the bench for an entire season.

EDIT: DeSmith is 9th in SV% and 12th in GAA.

My guess is through this season. I really like Maatta, but the Pens need another RD in my opinion.

I think Olli will be a really good defenseman in the right system. But for now if we can trade him for a good middle 6 forward and free up at least $2M in cap, thats a net win for us.

Trying to match the money up, they are nearly the same.

And who replaces him the lineup? This is what it looks like before Schultz would be back.

Dumo/Letang
Oleksiak/Johnson
Petterson/Riikola

Do you feel comfortable with that? I sure don't.
