Random Penguins Fodder

[Pitts]

Seeing a 2nd and a 5th.

[Tico Rick]

If true, does that mean we sign P.O.?

[maopens]

I better take another few Tylenol for this one.

[Pitts]

I would hope the $5 mil in savings would be turned around on a decent FA still available.

[DelPen]

So the Sabres essentially traded Skinner for Zucker and Lafferty.

[FLPensFan]

If true, does that mean we sign P.O.?

We now need someone to replace Smith. With Dubas's track record, it will probably be 35 year old JVR.

[Mad City Mike]

If Smith is dealt to the Rangers, the return may make or break my thoughts on Dubas as GM.

The good:
--Kakko
--a 2nd round pick

The bad:
--Trouba
--Trouba plus 50% retained on Smith
-- a 3rd or 4th round pick.

If we get Kaako for Smith I would be shocked. I'm expecting a 3rd round pick but surprise me Dubas!

Yeah, it'll be a third round pick, but at least frees up some cap space.

[KG]

Seeing a 2nd and a 5th.

Take that...assuming we aren't retaining salary.

[maopens]

If traded for a 2nd and 5th, I'm ok with that.

He's 33 so we get younger by subtraction and clear out $5.3 mil in cap space.

Should be able to pick up a few more 5-9 guys with that money.

Probably retaining his full salary.

Ryan Shea re-signed

[FLPensFan]

Penguins have brought back Ryan Shea, 1 year deal, league minimum 775K

Or draft picks for other aging vets like Rakell and Eller.

Good deal. Shea is good depth.

[KG]

Wonder what's going to happen with Laine?

We have an opening....

[Puck-Lurker]

Ryan Shea re-signed

Solid. Shea's a decent depth guy.

[FLPensFan]

Still waiting on that A-level signing of Beauvillier....

[KG]

Seeing a 2nd and a 5th.

Just checked, the Rangers don't have a 2nd round pick until 27. Guessing that's the pick we are getting. Rebuild!

Awesome.

I wonder what they want in return and what we have to give...

[Coffey Break]

Any idea on our new cap number, assuming Nieto on LTIR?

Is Pittsburgh in on any top six winger? We need to find someone to put up with Rust and Crosby.

Taresenko is out there. Could trade for Laine (I guess).

Skinner is still out there...although if I'm him, I'm signing with a contender. Dude has made a ton of money, never made the playoffs yet. Don't sign here for that. Unless we sign him and trade him at the deadline
