People write RW mail? Consider me surprised. Somehow the only time I see RW's name outside these boards is when Mark Madden makes fun of him and his "takes"

If the Penguins earn the 10th pick in the draft, do you -

1) Keep the pick and use it to get a good prospect

2) Give it to San Jose because there's no promises next year will be better

Keep it. It seems as though Dubas recognized the flaws with the roster construction of the team this year, hopefully they are addressed in the offseason.

“If you bring back the same 4 big contracts and the same coaching staff nothing changes.” Pretty solid take to me. The difference is Madden also makes fun of himself and floats the line of serious to satire very well. The funniest part is when people call in thinking they are going to tell him how it is.

But again, he's blaming the guys who arent the problem. And who does he realistically expect to replace them with?

It's actually not. It's the same take he wanted before the Pens won back to back cups, he wanted to trade Geno -- then they won back to back cups and he shut up. He will forever blame the players that aren't the problem -- and so will the Pens fans who take his word as gospel. Dude's takes are trash.

Not sure gold draft works. How hard are your players gonna play if they know the higher the draft pick the more likely that player makes the team as an 18 year old and takes one of their jobs away?

He wanted to trade Malkin in 2018. But thanks for playing.

I actually like Madden, I enjoy listening to him... but he was so off base with that idea to sign Trocheck over Malkin. And then to continue double downing on it even last year when Malkin was playing well was just nuts.

He did, to be fair, but he also said in 2014/2015 that the Penguins would never win another Cup with Malkin/Crosby.

Guy's job is to give takes. Some are going to be right, some are going to be wrong.

2015 there buddy. Then again in 2018. And again last year he wanted him to walk. Like I said, his takes are trash.

I feel like the more hard takes about trading Malkin actually came around 2020. He’s right too.

But Malkin sucks now. So those takes were pretty accurate.

Man do you have these saved on your phone? Any adequate 2c subs that cup man. Malkins not that great. More of a good 2c whose greatest accomplishment is beating up on a burnt out Carolina team in 09 and being really good friends with Sid.

My issue with the “gold draft” is that some teams actually suck and they play younger/less experienced players in hopes of developing and evaluating them.

And how the hell is that fair that talented teams like NJD or TBL would get a franchise player when a team like SJ or Anaheim are trying to dig themselves out by drafting a good player

I take option 2. Guentzel is gone. Crosby, Malkin, Letang, and Karlsson (and throw in Petterson) played in every game. Jarry stayed healthy and had a nice bounce back year. Too many reasons next year could be worse IMO.

We'll see where the pick lands before making that choice, but #10 I 100% send to San Jose.
