Ryan Wilson: Do the Penguins actually need Sidney Crosby? Do the Penguins actually need Sidney Crosby?

Nah, I'm just thinking about the Preds maybe becoming sellers in the near future and looking at their roster.

If I’m gm I’m getting ekholm and that’s just that! I couldn’t stand him in the Nashville final.

Just remember, the Penguins won a Cup with Ron Hainsey in Kris Letang's place.

Somehow.

Haha gotcha.

If a team wanted to reset younger, I'd look into a Pettersson for an established LD swap, so long as he had term. Don't think GMJR will.

Imagine Hainsey back if he was a cheap depth pick up. Bonus would be people having to pick a side between JJ and Hainsey for the last roster spot.

Would like to not do that again lol but I was at the game where Hainsey kinda split two guys passed it off to Geno and Geno back to Hainsey for a goal it was awesome lol

Imagine being one Injury away from a jj, hainsey, riko/pets left side lol

That's the thing, our right side is just fine even without Schultz in at the moment. Our left side is suspect. Hopefully Dumo doesn't struggle too much. Getting a guy like Ekholm to play top pair would be sick.

Obviously injuries affect trade scenarios, but this would be my main priority for 1. As mentioned here for along time a dumo injury pretty much screws the whole left side and 2. With the emergence of Marino a more experienced partner would make his role easier, less demanding, and allow him to just do his thing. Upgrading LD upgrades RD too imo.

Ekholm is a beast and most importantly around here is durable. I’m sure our focus now is a top line winger but offseason I think this should be a priority. And petts would more than likely be apart of that package for me. Unless we get a FA obviously.

This article makes we wonder if RW is a Russian bot.

Going back to the last thread....

Where did those Rakell rumors come from? I heard Bob Grove on the radio yesterday saying he thinks he'd be great here, but it was just a discussion about possible additions. No inside info on trade discussions.

Yes they do.
Beyond the first question, the remainder of your narrative is just plain stupid. On second thought, the original question is pretty stupid too.

Is this in response to the blog?

Yes, it is. I probably should've just ignored it, like it seems everyone else is, LOL. Oh well, too late now.

I always forget who has a cousin that's a scout. I think that's the right guy.

Yah, but if you finished it it was supposed to be a joke. A bad one, but still.

I have to imagine the price for Rakell would be steep. He's on pace for another 50 point season, is only 26 and signed for two more years under $4? Pens will have to dish out quite a bit. Probably a 1st along with one of Addison, Poulin or Legare, and maybe more.

Honestly, probably worth it.

That site is a joke.

They are literally just quoting the Athletic and last nights NBCSN broadcast. Bob McKenzie has said pittsburgh is looking at Toffoli, Krieder, and Saad. Russo said we still have interest in Zucker. None of this is news.

Also, the dude on that site is horrible.

I know they are, but I don't even bother looking at repeating the facts. They are so egregiously terrible with their information. They make TIOPS look like the New York Times.
