mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness
Pens are in a weird spot right now where they could either sneak into the playoffs *or* end up with the first pick in the draft. The odds obviously favor them missing out on both of those things, but honestly, I'd be happier with the latter as opposed to them making it and getting bounced in 5 games.

GDT #65: Pens vs Sharks
I mean, mathematically they do have a shot at making it - especially considering that several of the teams ahead of them currently have goaltending issues (and that's putting it mildly). In the end, all those overtime losses will probably come back to haunt them. This roster won't fare well in a bes...

GDT #65: Pens vs Sharks
Pens with only 3 shots this period, but two have tickled the twine. That'll happen against the Sharks I suppose.

GDT #63: Pens vs Oilers
Dubas made several solid acquisitions to the bottom 6 with Acciari and Eller. Those guys have been worth every cent. 31 power play goals and 10 shorties in the first 60 games - a net of only 21 PPG This situation falls ONE HUNDRED percent on the star players. This team's success this season was alwa...

They will be fine at wing - not great but fine - if they move Geno there. You could do a lot worse than Bunting, Rust, Rackell, and Malkin as the top 4 wingers. So from where I'm at, obtaining a #2 center should be the top priority.

DD's Thread of Trade Deadlining Because mikey is a whiner
No good teams bulld through free agency. Certainly not these days. Absolutely, and it's impossible to get younger through free agency. They need to have really strong drafts these next few years. My thinking is that they will look to improve the defense with this year's draft, as they just added a ...

Obviously getting picks today will be nice, but a huge benefit too will be the potential of cap space opening up.
As such, it wouldn't surprise me if an unexpected veteran player is added at some point today. It always seems like there's a deal that kind of comes out of left field.

If Bunting plays on Sid's wing next season, I'm betting that his goal totals will be very close to Jake's goal totals without Sid.

Should the Pens fire Head Coach Mike Sullivan?
I'm 50/50, but I'm not sure there is a better option available to replace him. I would give him a chance to work with the new players the team acquires. If next season starts out poorly and the players appear to be tuned out, then I think you have to replace him. I mean, if the team adds a couple of...

I mean, if it's Bunting, a top prospect, and a 1st, that would be a decent return I'd say.

I seriously doubt it would happen, but if the money was right, I think he would sign.There is less than 0% chance that Jake comes back here as a FA. Never happening.

DD's Thread of Trade Deadlining Because mikey is a whiner
Dubas is in a much stronger position IMO if he knows that he'll be able to re-sign Jake if the offers aren't good enough. Without an absolute need to move him, he can hold out until the last minute and create a bidding war. This is a bit different than a team having a fire sale and dumping a bunch o...

Question - are we all taking one scout's opinion and presenting it as fact with regard to the quality of the 2024 draft class?

I wonder to what extent teams are inquiring about Jarry and/or Ned? Because a few contending teams have a goalie situation that's.. tenuous at best.

I agree that the odds of another run with 87, 71, and 58 are extremely slim. But unless management is going to trade 71, 65, and 58, it won't be a true rebuild. If Sid, Geno, and Tanger are all going to finish their careers here, the only option is to try and do a partial rebuild on the fly. Is it w...

I’m not happy the season has gone to hell but the silver lining is that this is probably the only way the organization was going to be able to add nhl-ready youth quickly. We needed a season like this where we could SELL and use the opportunity to add prospects or young nhl players to the mix. Make...
