2017 free agency thread

He is also the best goalie in the NHL...
Price certainly has an argument, but so does the guy who has backstopped the last two Stanley Cup champions in the Finals.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Don't care so much about the pick but I thought Sundqvist would slot in nicely for Cullen. Also, why the hell did we have to downgrade our pick to make this happen? Sigh.. in GMJR I trust I suppose Check out Cullen's advanced stats from this year's playoffs: how many times he started in the defensi...

The info listed on the Pens' website is Sundqvist + pick 31 for Reaves + pick 51.

Expansion Draft

Wow this Vegas team is gonna be bad. It's like they took every offer not to take a good player
I have a sneaking suspicion they'll have a pretty good starting goaltender, though. Maybe they'll lose a lot of 2-1 games.

Even worse... Burns's votes add up to 167, meaning there were at least that many voters. Karlsson's votes sum to 165, meaning there were at least two voters who left Karlsson entirely off their Norris ballots.

Your 2016-2017 Stanley Cup Champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins

I still can't get over the fact that Phil Kessel is on the team. Back in 05-06, if you would have said a team with Crosby, Malkin, and Kessel on it would win back-to-back Cups, I would have said, "Sounds about right." I'm still glad the Pens didn't draft Kessel because I believe we got him at the r...

How did this happen. With this defense. No clue. This run defied belief You guys... this 2008-current Pens squad is a historically great team. Nobody wins eleventy cups in a row anymore with 31 teams and a salary cap. The Pens have the best player in the world, probably the deepest forward group, a...

Call me crazy, but with no NMC and Edmonton calls me and says first pick for McDavid for Sid, I would have at least thought about it. Not saying I would have gone for it, but I wouldn't have hung up on them. Why would EDM do that? It's alternative-universe speculation about the 2015 draft. Sure, th...

So what's the deal with the yellow tee shirts most fans have been wearing to home games? Do the Pens hand them out every game to everyone who comes? Will they change the color when they play against the Preds?

Good God that defense looks horrendous
?? It looks like if you took a team with a pretty good defense and took away their best defenseman. Given how banged up all the teams are at this point in the season, I'm happy the Pens can ice those guys.

All very accurate posts right in a row... I'll add one...despite the injury to a RD, Hainsey played way too much last night...he killed a lot of sustained attack time... The one that sticks out in my mind is in the third (I think). The pens had the puck in the sens zone for a solid minute, minute 3...

have their star goalie decisively outplay Pittsburgh’s backup that's a weird thing to hear/read. If Fleury is now considered our backup he's the best backup goalie in the league by a good margin, no? In a playoff series, I'll take the Pens' Stanley-Cup-winning "backup" ahead of the Caps' Vezina-win...

Honestly, the Pens win that game 2 out of 10 times, maybe. Tremendously lucky. I don't want to rely on that luck moving forward, so close it out. It isn't all just luck, though. Goaltending is part of the game, and the Penguins have had, thus far in the playoffs, the best goalie in the conference.
