Skalde was not brought back by Guelph (OHL) as their head coach...he had Luca Caputi on his staff as an assistant I believe... The great Penguins draft of 2007: Angelo Esposito, Casey Pierro-Zabotel, and Luca Caputi. The only guy that really worked out in that draft, Jake Mussin, never was signed b...

When he quoted the Ron Cook article as a basis to talk about trading Kessel it was time to stop reading immediately. Trading Maatta for a guy who is going to be a UFA at the end of the season isn't going to happen either. I guess the answer to the question what do people who graduate in the lower qu...

Pouliot + Sheary for Staalzy and $1.5 mill retained.

Sorry but Ron Francis can't stop laughing.

This guy isn't bad...

So do you think he fits more as a left wing or a center?

That Girardi signing is hard to explain.

Tampa in need of a pylon?

Didn't Tinordi have some pedigree at one point?

Was a first round mistake, if you consider that pedigree.

Chicago is already $3m over the cap. It's going to be fun watching them try and dump salary before October.

All they have to do is LTIR Hossa and his 5 mil cap hit will put them under. They have pretty much everyone signed except for maybe a cheap depth defensemen.

This Nashville playoff run reminds me of the 2008 Penguins who where 12-2 when we got to the finals. We met a veteran Wings team, that new what it took to win the Cup and they won in 6. I look at this series the same way Pens in 6 as Smashville is silent while Sid skates around the rink with the Cup.

[ref]mikey[/ref], in relation to the Lafferty post, what kind of progress (if any) have you seen from recent Pens draft picks? It's hard to get much from the stat line. 2016: Gustavsson - Not a whole lot of playing time this season but decent numbers I guess. Bjorkqvist - Underwhelming numbers in f...

Yay for free...but not yay for skating...

Is he worse than Hornqvist skating wise?

Caps currently on a 4 game losing streak.

I'd prefer their 4 game losing streak occur during the post season, but it's fun to watch now. Also the great eight dosent have an even strength goal in something like 19 games. I guess it's time to go back on the roids again.

There was an Elliotte Friedman tweet that the Pens are interested in a Northeastern forward Zach Aston-Reese now that his college season is over. Has anyone see him play or have any scouting info on him?
