How is Pittsburgh doing all of this?! How much money do they have???

Pretty much none now. They're going to be icing a pitiful defense. Gonna have to score 4 goals a game. Their likely D going into the year-

Maata-Letang
Pouliot-Lovejoy
Scuderi-Cole

PP1 is going to be scary, but outside of Crosby/Malkin/Kessel, there is no forward depth.

 

[jewseejay]

Yall cant tell me nothing.

All though soft scorers are the antethesis of our need

I havent been this happy since Laraque was a Pen

My bestfreind got season tix this yr too..

We outcheaaaaa idc idc

Ya...

Hornquist. Dupuis. Bennet. Sutter. All scrubs


Stopppp the onlyyy thing we lack is toughness and defenders that can stay healthy

Edit: think we got Semin on the way too. Forward depth is actually one of our strengths.

 

[jewseejay]

And when healthy are first 2 d pairings are fine

There are more questions than anything....

Dupuis almost died last year and Bennett????

Forgot about Hornqvist and Sutter tho

 

[DeadsetAce]

Zack Kassian is going somewhere.....

I don't have any questions about their forwards. Perron-Crosby-Kessel Kunitz-Malkin-Hornqvist Dupuis-Sutter-Bennett is one of, if not the best top 9 forward groups in the league. The 2nd/3rd D pairs are going to get roasted though. Lovejoy and a rookie offensive d-man.

 

[theenorthstar]

Wow wow wow

Just heard about Kessel to the Pens :x

 

[theenorthstar]

Can't wait to get home and see all the Canadian websites blogs and stations drama and reactions

 

[rolaholic]

Zack Kassian? Okay...

Wonder what the return is...best not be Emelin or Tinordi

Prust and a 5th? Or you might be getting the 5th

 

[lvjordan238]

Remember when Kassian for Hodgson was huge news? Now one is playing for the minimum after being bought out and the other just got traded for Brandon friggin Prust.


Also Sportsnet says Yandle is on the trade block.

 

[rolaholic]

Damn I Liked Prust for the grit and intensity brought but he wasn't really a good contributor offensively at all so I don't mind this move tbh . Not a bad deal for Vancouver, wish him luck there.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Mike Green to DET for 3 years, $18M

 

[rolaholic]

Hell of a signing for Detroit :x

 

[xxpizzo]

im not sure if this dude is full of it or what but someone named @Anight92 on twitter said that there is a HUGE deal between Flyers/Blues which include big names like Oshie, possibly simmonds. When people ask him more questions he says he cant discuss anything more as he been requested not to. 

even though he might be lying im curious to see

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 1m1 minute ago
Deal isn't quite done, but Brad Richards and the Red Wings are working on a 1 yr deal.

hmm I guess I would be on board with a Simmonds for Oshie deal

I really like Simmonds but Oshie would be a great fit on a 2nd line

The East contenders are making moves yet we're standing quite aside from the Kassian deal 

. MB also said not to expect much activity from us FA wise...

. Need some added firepower on offense badly

you're telling me, man


don sweeney is probably sitting at home pulling his pud or out on the golf course. it's like our FO doesn't even know FA started today

You guys are blowing it up though,that's expected 

. My friends dad who's a big B's fan was PISSED at the ownership when I saw him yesterday 

 . Especially at the fact you guys passed up a better trade from Edmonton just out of spite for PC

he's blowing it up the wrong way

should have looked to trade tuukka, not lucic. hamilton i get cause it sounds like he really didn't want to be here long term. we'll never know for sure. but like you said, turning down better deals and apparently not even shopping him to most of the league is just dumb. deal for mcquaid and trading for ******* rinaldo is just stupid.

signing spooner is the only good move but it was probably in the works before he even came on board.


we're going to be the cot damn leafs this year, eliminated by Jan 1

no offense, OG

 

[mczoot]

Stoked about Green. Lukewarm on Richards, but I'm good with almost anyone on a one year deal haha.

When does he get an extension? 

 

[sosly]

I sorta like the Frolik deal, sad Max Reinhart got traded to Preds but there is no room for him. Man ufa going by fast lol
