Ryan Wilson: Penguins make some cuts

Technically the players we are going to lose are plugs too. It's really just a choice between plugs at this point.

You feel that way about Ruhwedel? Because that looks possible.

How is Caggiula supposed to score goals and run around hitting people if he's not with the team? Hextall needs to give us some answers.

I think he's a serviceable third pairing defenseman, but in reality he is a plug, he's not an NHL regular, just a guy who bounces between the press box and some games.

Your repeated childish remarks are not funny! You said you have been to Pittsburgh once. Don’t come back!

Caggiula does suck though.

I never said how many times I've been there, I think you have me confused with someone else. But for the record, I've been there 5 times, thank you very much.

Also, I'm not the one who was convinced that a depth forward was a lock to make the team.

Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now says that he has stood out more than any of the other bubble players in camp.

I never said he was a lock, only someone to not write off so easily as a scrub!

Okay. Still, he's nothing more than a tweener, at best. He may get a call up here and there if they get hit with injuries.

And I don't know where you got this notion that I said I've only been to Pittsburgh once.

Dan Kingerski is a clown. That dude questioned the Jake Guentzel contract and constantly defended Jack Johnson. He's not someone's opinion I would ever trust in the realm of hockey.

Take a breath, man. Its going to be a long season yet....and its not even started. jmatchett has been around here a long time and probably doesn't care if you tell him to not come back haha

What does only being to Pittsburgh once have to do with anything being argued here today?

EDIT: I misread...it had nothing to do with the arguments and all to do with you just not wanting him back in your hometown due to how/what he posts here...

All good.

We're just a couple of A-holes being confused for one another....

I'd rather lose Rutta hahah

Finding some interesting colorful graphs and tables around twitter today..Ducks having a favorable schedule in this regard, the Rags not as much...

Zohorna got claimed. Not shocked. In the grand scheme of things this is fairly low impact but I do think picking Archibald over him was a paper cut.

Caiggula should make the team and play on Crosby's wing. Him and Kapanen.

I agree...I was never really a huge fan of the big soft giant...but I think I like him better than Archie. Z's underlying numbers were actually insane on the 4th line.

Essentially lost him because of Archibald, right? Yeesh.

Yeah I liked him as a 13th forward that could actually contribute offensively when called upon. Oh well. We still have DOC for that role and he’s still waiver exempt so not a huge biggie.

Archi among a few other reasons but as Vic said there's a player better than both of them, who's waiver exempt, and now has one less road block for being on the big club more often.
