He appears to be done.

Ian Cole is now a regular scratch on this team...the talk of adding anything with money or term, particularly term, is a non-starter really...

There’s a reason I didn’t post it in this thread.

Spezza is a healthy scratch....

He'd be a decent 3C.

That's why I said - it's a shame his contract is an anchor.

It seems a bit harsh to call his contrat an anchor all of a sudden. I'm sure GMJR could get rid of it within hours if he were desperate.

Anyone catch the Kevin Stevens segment on HNIC? Props to Lemieux for being so loyal.

Kevin Stevens is the ultimate FoM.

Yeah, I understand...part of my point is that Ian Cole is a regular healthy scratch...

2 more years at 4 million plus and he's 36. Good luck lol.

I thought you were referring to Cole.

Sorry Martin - randomness thread with multiple conversations happening at once.

I mean, center depth is the name of the game. Centers make the line in most cases. Our breakouts/zone exits are designed through the center lane. We often even enter the zone down the middle (though, that's probably confirmation bias a little bit because we have two of the best centers in the game)...if I'm an offensive minded coach (which I am these days), I'm trying to cross the blues in the middle and cross the red out wide. The Penguins do a good job of this and with Guentzel in the three hole (and his development as a hockey player has been impressive this season) and Kessel down there, it allows for a lot more flexibility and more reliable exits/entries. Guentzel has quickly proven to be a better distributor of the puck than Sheahan.

Re: Kuhnhackl - he's been on my list of top players all season, relative to his role. He's had a very good year.

Thanks

It will be interesting to see if they will continue with Kessel on the third line and if the other teams adapt...

Just noticed nhl.com ad for the all star game does not have Sid on it. It has Ovi.. and the young guys McDavid, Matthews along with Stamkos, Subban, and Kane.

I don't mind that - after seeing the Tom Brady love, It's good to let people know you have other stars.. besides I don't think Sid needs any pushing - he's got a HOF resume already.

I think the league knows he won’t be there.

Doesn't he have to go or get suspended for a game for being a no-show? Unless he's "hurt", I think he has to show

had a great time this weekend visiting the Burgh for 2 games. I'm now undefeated at PPG Paints Arena.

I finally understand the hatred for the "whooooo!!!" people. I don't remember hearing it when I went to 2 games at the Igloo years ago but definitely heard it Sat and Sun. stupid, imo.

Crosby and the Pens have shown in the past that they don't give a **** about the one game suspension. I'll be shocked if he goes.

Never change, Phil.

I think Marner and Nylander are finding out now why you should be friends with the TO media.

E. Kane being linked to PIT again. Just say no. It makes no sense anyway. Letestu for Cole makes sense, though.

@Columbia and I were at the ball punching game in ATL. Have the two made up since then?

This seems like a convenience rumor than an actual one. Contender with a history of needing wingers eyes biggest rental on the block. The price of a 1st rounder + is not palatable and the player offers nothing more than speed and a shot, I don't think he has the brain functionality to work with 87 or 71 and Kessel already runs the show on line 3...it just seems like an unnecessary add at a possibly damaging price...

As I look into, I think I am starting to like this draft class...I don't know I am willing to surrender my first that easily...
