mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

As long as he can keep his head up, which he has done so far, his ~$750k cap hit would be tough to top with his production. Like I said before it isn't impossible but it'd have to be for an upgrade that is locked up long term to a friendly cap hit.

I was looking at the Pens statistics and saw Rowney's name. Forgot he even existed.

They mentioned Hunwick last night. Definitely had a "ohhhh yeahhhhh" moment.

He's been perfectly unremarkable (when healthy).

Rowney or Hunwick. Ahh screw it, you probably meant both

Postby **columbia** » Wed Nov 15, 2017 1:10 pm

Hunwick, but, yes, I also forgot about Rowney.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Wed Nov 15, 2017 1:15 pm

I remembered Hunwick. But I forgot that Rowney even existed on this planet.

Rowney will need to do some heroic **** to top that 3 ass game he had last spring.

I actually forgot Hunwick was a thing until I saw him in the warmups during the Panthers game mid-October.

I'm coming away thinking they're going to need another D even with Hunwick.

I'd trade Sheary over Guentzel - I've got a thing about not really liking small players.

Letang still sucks.

Sheary is the first Penguin to go 35+-35+ in his first 125 games since Geno.

I'm sure playing with Sid helps, but given that others have tried and failed with him, I'd say that's a pretty good stat.

What we need is a center.

Too Milan Kraft for your taste?

What about Hagelin? Or is he too Fata?

Oh he's great no doubt, I just don't care for his size.

is this like an irrational pet peeve thing? because it doesn't matter, in practice, at all.

Probably irrational pet peeve. I think we could trade him per the rumors during the summer on someone willing to overpay. I just hate how when he gets cold, he has the potential to get REALLY cold.

Are there players that score every other game or something...? Everyone gets cold. This is a guy that we found on the street, he gets paid third line money and produces (last year, at least) like a first liner...you really can't ask for a better situation...

Postby **meow** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 10:07 am

You could ask for him to be 6’3”

I'd say he's producing like a 1st liner on this team currently, since he's leading the team in goals*

*I think. His first the other night was 7, which tied him for the lead then. May be tied with Phil at 8?

Postby **Morkle** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 10:14 am

I'd like him to be 6'1 and doesn't get physically abused like he did in the playoffs. My thought is someone overpaying for him, that's about it. I even said above I think he's good, I just wish he was bigger lol.

i think the concussion that derailed him was from hornqvist, right?

meanwhile, when his own players aren't head shotting him, he's flat out slaying. against FLA on a wednesday in december or in the SCF. dude is a gem. embrace it.
