Penguins acquire Tanner Pearson from LA for Carl Hagelin ($250k retained)

[Morkle]

Ah, a Tom Kuhnhackl reference. That's a man who has more goals this season than Sheahan, Hagelin, Cullen, and Rust.

Wish the would have kept Knuckles.

Hornqvist on Hagelin: "This is a tough day for me and my family. He’s been here for a long time and we like each other a lot, we hang out a lot. But this is part of the business. If you don’t play well there’s going to be changes and that’s exactly what happened." -MC

Reasonable take. Easily could have been solved if the team played better. Oh well.

Still bet there's another move if they don't get it together.

[Lelldorin]

As meow would say...

Ha

Haha



hahahahahahaha


Pearson is no God, but Hags is redundant here...Pearson adds some scoring touch...played on that 70's line with Jeff Carter and Toffoli and they came through in big spots in the postseason...he's had a hell of a start to this year...but he's good addition...

Is this a joke??? Seems like an excellent trade for us...

Wish the would have kept Knuckles.

I believe they offered him a two year deal and he declined.

You are correct.

#Pens GM Rutherford on trade: "We felt that we needed to make some changes. This could be the start of more changes or we'll see how this goes for a little bit. Way things have gone for first part of the season it's obvious we had to change something up." -SK

[Morkle]

Yea but they lowballed him.

[meow]

And waited until the absolute last minute

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

And after that the best he could do is a 1 year deal at $700k

I bet that there are hundreds of trades in the Penguins future...

Sometimes betting on yourself doesn't work out

[Silentom]

He's a fourth liner. What did he expect?

[meow]

Seven figures? Not an unrealistic expectation. Two time Cup winner. Christ, Jay Feagle makes like 6 sheets or something ridiculous.

[Silentom]

Yeah, but he wasn't exactly standing out.

[meow]

You don't think? I was/am a big fan of his game. He's my kind of fourth line LW.

[mikey]

We lowballed the guy making a whisker more than league minimum...? Seems unpossible.

I agree with meow though, Kuhn had a legit chance to maybe throw back a sheet...he bet on himself and it didn't work, and now he's on one-years for life probably (if that)...

Man, I would have taken that sweet, sweet two-year deal...you know you're eatin' well for at least the next two years with that...that's a million in the bank guaranteed...

[Silentom]

IDK, maybe I didn't pay enough attention to him. I liked him, too, but didn't think he'd strike a big payday.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

In a world where Rowney gets 3 years, 1.133 per you have to take a shot.

[meow]

Exactly. I'm surprised Rowney could ink that contract around his massive erection. 3 years for almost $3.5 to live in Anaheim?? Holy buckets

[mikey]

The difference between $1.1 million and $675,000 or whatever is pretty significant when you aren't sure you're gonna get another one of those...for all we know, he's in the DEL next season...

Rowney has an advantage in that he's a RHS center. Hotter commodity.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Yeah I get being a RHS center is a hotter commodity, but that is where it ends with being more desirable. Kuhn is easily a better overall player.

Morkle: "Wish we had him two years ago"
Lemon: "We did"
Morkle: "Four years ago then"

[Gaucho]

lol

[Silentom]

Cut Morky some slack. He's a new dad!

[Gaucho]

Hags would be a welcome deadline acquisition.
