Dave Pagnotta from the 4th period just said the chatter he's hearing is that JJ is the most likely player the Pens move to dump salary. Said he has talked to someone in JJ's camp who said the Pens have informed him something may happen after the market shakes out. Pens may also be looking for a bargain defenseman to hold that #6 spot

EDIT- said 3 teams have at least talked about JJ as a plan B option but are trying to get other players first. Take it for what you think it's worth.

Haha I’m not salty at all. I can’t chirp back? That’s what makes it fun.

Is The 4th Period a legit source?

Hope all those plans fall through. I'm worried about what a real life Jack Johnson trade looks like though. What the hell we'd give up.

I actually don't follow Pagnotta's work well enough to know how connected he is. I know he has a better rep than Eklund. Was hoping someone would chime in because if the end result is JJ goes that Tanev deal becomes a lot easier to take.

Depends on the team I guess...

It could be Rust, ZAR, prospect or probably a 1st or 2nd.

If Tanev is the worst contract on the team JR will have righted a wrong.

If we dump Johnson without trading a roster forward and flip Hornqvist for a second pairing defenseman, I'm in on this offseason.

JJ getting ousted would be enough for me, but Horn, too? JR would be in full redemption.

If they can unload JJ, they will likely have to add a player, would one think that could open enough space to get Gardiner?

And can a GM reach out to a player and discuss such a senerio?

Ha. Is anything actually personal on an anonymous internet forum?

It is only 1.05 milion in cap savings if they send JJ down to WBS.

Enough to bring Pomminville?

Can this be true? Jesus Christ. Give him + a 7th RP for a 5th RP.

I don’t think we need any more forwards. Let the kids play. Stop cockblocking

Lol you’ll be OUT then. I don’t see us trading Hörnqvist nor getting a 2nd pairing D for him.

Give them him and a 7th for a 7th for all we care!!!

I think Horny is the only player that plays and looks like he actually gives a F every game. For that reason alone JR won't trade him.

This is nuts man. This is playing with my emotions. I will not let this get my hopes up.

I really think that if JR rid of JJ and his 3.25 cap hit he'd sign the unsigned RFAs and then get....Phaneuf for cheap..

Agree, they value Hornqvist too much as a leader. They're not trading him. It's JJ, Rust, or Bjugstad.

They'd never do that.....but only because Phaneuf is a righty.
