2019 Penguins Offseason/Draft Thread

Postby Dickie Dunn » Wed Apr 17, 2019 11:38 am

The biggest personnel error that the big red machine Detroit Red Wings made was that they held onto all of their stars until those stars completely fell apart. Malkin needs to be asked for a few teams he would be okay going to, and Letang's list needs to have calls made.

If you want to make a statement in commitment to improving then you don't flip 3rd pair and bottom 6. Instead, you suck it up and do want needs to be done.
When looking at cap stuff around the deadline I was stunned to see that the Wings have Zetterberg on the book for two more seasons and Franzen for one. They're both obviously LTIR and don't count against the cap, but how the hell could anyone thing that Franzen and his style of play would still be kicking at 40 years old? Definitely gives some added concerns about the Hornqvist deal.

They never thought Franzen would still be kicking at 40. It was a workaround the cap.

Rossi reporting that only Sid/Malkin (Guentzel too) are off limits for trades, and that Murray is a priority to get extended.

But wouldn't that make Murray off limits as well?

Pretty much, all you had to do was see "Rossi reporting."

It could have been phrased, Pens only consider 4 players off-limits, Sid/Geno/Murray/Guentzel.

Height of off-season begins. Rossi reports that Malkin is off-limits, then...
Nick Kypreos just said on Sportsnet that Malkin may be in play to move this summer.

It would be funny if Malkin got ejected from the franchise while Letang sits idly by. :lol:

I enjoy this stuff, shoot it into my veins. They'll trade Malkin and Simon will automatically get the "A."

The idea that we would trade Evgeni Malkin now seems very remote...

We need a poll for 'weirdest takes by a poster on this board.' Contestants so far are:

dodint's hate for Letang
Morkle's hate for Simon
Jim's hate for Malkin
shmenguin's desire to watch bdsm-on-ice
Any of LBL's hockey opinions

All I need is someone touting fancy stats telling me that Simon is actually good and isn't a black hole when he has the puck.

1 fancy stat quote is worth 3 periods of force feeding him minutes on the top line. Go!

Everybody should be on the table. Listen to every offer. I'm not saying that Malkin or Crosby should be on the block, but why wouldn't you listen to offers that could dramatically improve your team? It would take a whole hell of a lot to move either of them so it's very unlikely but GMJR wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't listen to any offer.

My argument has always been that the team would have been better had they spent the money on other players to make a more complete team.
Then, GMJR overpaid/termed JJ and EG so now I have no idea if my premise holds any water.

In my mind, I've traded Letang like 72 times in the past 4 years, each time, the Pens have won the SC 8 times in a row.

It's DD and Morkle who can't go two posts without mentioning Simon, so that should be a combo job...and then that gives it enough "Michael Scott's obsession with Toby" feel to it to make it the clear winner...

dodint and shmenguin's respective takes are at least fairly well explained and justifiable...they also aren't as, I don't know, cringey...Jim doesn't obsess, so I'm cool with it...

But I can't imagine having someone so innocuous and ubiquitous living so rent-free in my head as to generate that "Simon will get a letter post" out of a Malkin trade comment...Evgeni Malkin trade "rumor" and in the same sentence, in a two-sentence post, Simon getting a letter is pulled into it...that's therapist stuff haha

Mikey, this here is a message board. I've got nothing better to talk about on the Penguins. Out of all the...in the world, you didn't need to write a thesis to go any further than that.

And to go back to the Office. Michael isn't obsessed with Toby, he dreads every time Toby is around, but only ever references Toby for the most part when Toby is standing there in front of him.
