Re: OMG They actually did it! Jarry on waivers.

I don't know how I feel about it, I have wanted him traded/sent down, demoted to janitor, but I also wanted him to help us get a top pick in the draft, now Blomqvist might ruin that. Bring up Gauthier and/or Larsson and trade Ned would help get the top pick in the draft. :D It seems like Murashov ...

Re: Official GDT: Pens vs Kraken 1/14/25

Doesn’t look like a very well coached team. Enough blaming the roster. The “system” being used forever does not work any more consistently. The Top 2-3 Coach continues to be unable to have his Team protect a 3rd Period Lead. 3 Straight Years where we see the same blueprint for failure. THe Steelers ...

Re: Penguins Trade Deadline: Buyers and Sellers?

You have to think one of our young goal tenders is going to be moved, probably in a big trade with other assets for multiple assets/picks back. Why have this many good young goal tenders and no place to play them? Unless you get a #1 C or #1 D it isn't worth trading either goalie at this time. If ...

Re: 2024-2025 Season Random Penguins Fodder

Another W for WBS. McGroarty with 3 assists. Now has 7 points in his last 6 games. Interesting to see a lot of our prospects growing under MacDonald compared to JD Forrest. McGroarty was brought along slowly and seems to be putting it all together. Broz has impressed me all year, since the summer ...

Re: A Reality Check for Penguins Fans

My thoughts. - This team is not going to the playoffs. We still have some good players, but it isn't enough anymore. Maybe if you had a support cast of really exceptional cheap role players, you could make it work. We don't have that. There's this fever dream that the team could still make it.. and ...

Maybe we lose this Saturday to Baltimore and Tomlin is gone! finally.. and then by some miracle Pens do the normal thing and finally fire Sullivan! It's been eight years since their last playoff win and 14 years since a Super Bowl berth. Tomlin's lone Super Bowl win was nearly 16 years ago. I think ...

Re: A Reality Check for Penguins Fans

In this year’s draft, I would certainly trade 15th + 25th for top 5 pick. I think another third would be needed to possibly entice a top 5 pick return. I would be willing to include a third round pick, too. I think (maybe?? I am not a scout) 4-5 players in this draft could play in NHL next year - ...

Re: A Reality Check for Penguins Fans

It's also important to remember that a 1st is nothing more than a lottery ticket with better odds than some of the other tickets. I know we are used to generational talents around here that are can't miss, but even if we traded a Letang for a late 1st, it's not guaranteeing anything (other than ...

Re: A Reality Check for Penguins Fans

I understand what both of you are saying. On one hand, I would hate to trade away any of the 3. On the other hand, it would significantly shorten the rebuild time. I would only be ok with trading away the trio if we traded all 3. Otherwise, it would feel wrong. Trading away Geno and keeping Sid ...

Re: A Reality Check for Penguins Fans

Fellow Penguins fans, it’s time to confront a hard truth: expecting this team to rebuild while clinging to the remnants of its once-glorious core is unrealistic. The NHL is an unforgiving league, and no team can sustain success forever without making difficult decisions. For years, the Penguins h ...

Geno is still being anchored by Glass on the 2nd line however...
Or is Geno anchoring Glass and Bunting...
Or it's a bad line combination and Malkin should have Rust and Rakell

Watching the Lions and Vikings and a modern offense and defense for both teams just makes me want Tomlin gone even more.

Kings just waived Kaliyev. Dubas should be in on that. Fits what he has been doing. Young player with skill. You have to wonder why they waived him though. He's played 5 AHL games so far. Is he hurt, discipline, why didn't he make the NHL squad after 3 decent 3rd/4th line years? If it wasn't ...
