Random Penguins Fodder

[FLPensFan]

If Toronto doesn't have a "do not trade with Dubas policy", Nick Roberton would certainly be a target for us. Young, goal scorer, small!, former Dubas pick. He's requested a trade.

Forgot about him in my last post. This is someone I could see Dubas going after. Would probably make more sense cap wise and age wise. Hopefully this can be his Tarasenko fallback.

Little quiet as free agency goes on. Assuming the rumors are true that we have an offer out to Tarasenko that means we are looking for a top 6 forward. Not many options left besides him in free agency. Sprong (nope), Roslovic, he's a 3rd line player.

If we miss out on Tarasenko, then we will have to go the trade route. What top 6 forwards are rumored to be available? Some we would have to pay assets to acquire, others we would get paid to take.

Laine, E. Kane, Ehlers, Vatrano, Kuzmenko, Fabbri (meh), Gallagher & Anderson in Montreal both rough contracts, Anders Lee, Saad, Sheary (nope).

Not a ton out there. Laine makes a lot of sense when he's out of the program. We would off-load a contract or 2 to make the money a little closer too. Could be a low risk, high reward situation and he's under contract for 2 seasons which fits in line to what we are doing.

Curious to see who we add. I just hope we add 1 more impact forward this summer.

Not sure how reliable this is but...

Pretty sure that's a meme, where people started doing that in the offseason or trade deadline, just inserting a picture saying person going to X place.

Sentors re-signed Pinto today - so he's off our grid.

Followed shortly by this:

Lundell resigned in FLA 6 yr, $5mil/yr deal. I think that may pretty much closes the door on Tarasenko unless they make additional moves.

Florida is said to already be working on extensions for both Bennett and Verhaeghe, so I don't think Tarasenko is returning there.

Man, the Caps really hamstrung themselves with their overhaul. Avs in trouble too.

There's a hint in the name of the source. Plus we here at LGP demand tail numbers, seat assignments and miles earned on every plane-based rumor.

I've run a scan on the passenger and flight attendant heads. It all matches up with a flight this morning to Pittsburgh.
