2024 NHL Trade Deadline Discussion

[E-Ramone]

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go...

I really do wanna be sedated

Vegas just tweeted ….

They’ve quickly become the evil empire of hockey lol

Vegas tweets that. 4th period was on the Fan saying talks with Rangers intensified with 2025 1st and Kakko potential to Penguins (need MOAR). Seems like things are heating up this afternoon.

God I hope we aren’t getting Kakko. He has 11 points in 41 games this year for the rags. That would be a terrible trade to make. If that was the return I’d sooner just keep Jake.

You’d rather have Jake for 20+ meaningless game? He’s not resigning - not saying I love that return. But it is what it is

Not a great return if the Rags win the cup though for sure. Better than getting nothing though.

if it was Kakko, Perrault and 1st, I'd be ok with that.

I’m just saying that i think Kakko isn’t what I had in mind for our future team. He can hardly score on a stack rangers team. Doesn’t give me much hope for him the rest of this year and beyond.

[FLPensFan]

if it was Kakko, Perrault and 1st, I'd be ok with that.

I've seen both. And agree with what you said, Kakko, Perrault and a 1st. Yes. Kakko and Perrault only. Um, okay sure. Kakko and a 1st. Sigh, trade market broken.

[Pens4Life]

I would prefer Othmann , 1st R and 2nd R over Kakko and 1st..

Imagine this scenario. The Pens ‘screw up’ the Jake situation and end up keeping him by slow playing too long. The Pens then go on an epic run to end the season and make the playoffs. Then, in game 7 Jake scores the winning goal and knocks out the Rangers (Hurricanes, add whoever you want here).

[SteelCityFan]

“ Hurricanes have been pushing hard with Pittsburgh on Guentzel. It would make sense that Bunting would be part of that package if Carolina can get a deal with the Penguins across the finish line.”

-Pierre LeBrun

Bunting being held out of tonight’s game

[SteelCityFan]

I’ve read that Carolina has a pretty deep farm system. Who would be a good get?

[Ohio_Pens_fan]

Bunting will be 29 this fall. No thanks. How about say…Jarvis?

[Maestro]

Cruz Lucius as prospect?
Michael Bunting is being sat.
Add a 1st.

I believe!

Bunting is 28 and about a .5 PPG guy. Is he FAST? Is he young? We need to get younger and faster. This is your one chance to make a splash and get younger and faster! Don't make Michael Bunting the prized return for Jake. Don't do it.

Couldn’t agree more.

[FLPensFan]

Bunting is someone a swap for Reilly Smith trade would have made sense.

Better be a big name in this deal otherwise.

[BlackNGold4Life]

NHL Network radio on Sirius - just said word from Pittsburgh is that the proposed return for Jake “isn’t that great”

Maybe taking Bunting back will net the Pens more prospects etc. Let's see the full deal.

[pronovost19]

Bunting is Brock McGinn part 2. Please tell me he got more.

[Coffey Break]

I have a feeling this is going to be an absolute disaster.

[pronovost19]

I have a feeling this is going to be an absolute disaster.

Me too. Especially if the Rangers dangled Perrault or Othmann in any form or fashion.

[ejd43]

Where are all the reputable insiders?! I need someone with credibility

[Skatingpen]

No one scratched tonight. Does that mean Smith and Rakell are staying?

[Maestro]

It's going to be bad
