The era of Ovechkin and Crosby is over. They are some of the greatest players of all time, but they're not Tom Brady
I think Sid is a very superstitious guy & that is why he is paid 8.7 million. He might not take another number (I’m pretty sure I heard that somewhere).
Why does everyone forget the penguins don’t have their 1st
It's time! I have been saying this for years… Time to say buh-bye to Crosby, Malkin, and Letang.
They never should have released Fleury.
Breaking news !!! Travis Green to be named next Senators Head coach per Bruce Garrioch
Karlsson I think was a mistake in Pittsburgh? A signing mistake? How many old players by hockey standards let's add another one? Need younger with the older? Sid the kid is still putting up kid points
My team is now very average.
Blame Doofus for everything.
Malkins totals were sunk by having black holes on his wings. Better depth, a league average power play, and Dubas not sitting on his hands all season puts them right back in the playoffs. As a penguins fan I don’t have any delusions of them getting another cup but I want 87/71 to have a good last few years and in my mind that means making the playoffs regardless of anything else.
We're hoping Sid takes $10M/yr.
On the plus side Treliving is an idiot and would happily trade Marner and 3 first round picks for Erik Karlsson. So hopefully Doofus has his phone charged.
erik karlsson to cbj
It wouldnt be cheap, but a good move would be to bring Guentzel back, trade either LeTang or Karlson- don’t need an exact clone of an offensive defenseman on the same team and let the other one quarterback the power play. Next, add a solid defenseman to stay back when the Karltang surviving clone presses too hard and gives up the (every game several) odd man rushes. Goalie is Nedelkovic, he earned it this year. Jarry is good but Ned seems to be the future. Sid can fix the power play, especially if Guentzel returns. Move out, if possible, smith, graves, one of the Karltang’$ (probably Eric) and keep for sure Rust and Bunting and Petterson. Find some fast, young, hungry scrappers since giving away Blueger and Zucker.
1 point away from the playoffs last year, 3 points behind this year.
i see a trend here
As a pens fan they definitely need to retool. Love Crosby but probably won't win another title with him.
This draft class is weaker now however they said the same thing 2017 and that draft has some pretty good players Makar, Oettenger, Heiskanen, Hischier. And many more. There's no McDavid however still a lot of really good players.
Pittsburgh learn from the San Jose Sharks mistake they kick the can one too many times, and have ended up in a situation where playoffs aren’t likely for almost a decade when all is said and done. Lots of aging players, and not a lot of assets or prospects in the pipeline.
I might be delusional, but I'd like to think if the old ahh Red Wings can win, then anything is possible lol (especially with the level Crosby is playing at). Man I don't trust Dubas though
How poetic is it that the Sharks and Penguins met in the Cup Final nearly a decade ago and both are going to fall under the same trajectory.
Just that the Pens have a cup.
Crosby holding them hostage from it.
Finnish Blomqvist, not swedish
1 jarry was bad
2 smith sucked.
3. Rakell and sullivan should go.
Trade Jarry. Sign Neddy. Call Blomquist up Trade Malkin, trade Riley Smith, trade Graves, trade rakell. Try and bring back guentzel if he's still unsigned.
Unless they're willing to move on from core players it's pointless, on top of that I dunno how they're gonna move that horrible EK contract without taking a beating.
Love that logo
A retool would maybe bring them a 1st round. Rebuild is the only real option. Sure we have Crosby and malkin and the other, but they are not what they where. They can't drag this team to another cup. And to be frank are three home games really worth it?
what u said sounded like finnish Joel, swedish Joel would be pronounced more like Joo-L. 😎
The biggest problem with Pittsburgh was their powerplay. Even a few more goals and they would have been in the playoffs from OL points.
The kind of player they needed was a Nichushkin/Horvat/Hyman type player who screens the goalie and gets the cleanup/tip in goals. Bunting is that kind of gritty player and he fit right in with the team. But he isn’t a replacement for Guentzel.
This summer, Dubas needs to re-sign Sid, keep Bunting and Nedeljkovic, try and get Guentzel back. Maybe get Domi or Bertuzzi for that chippy, hard nosed player which Pittsburgh lacked pre-Bunting. Smith hasn’t played as well as he should. Rakell had injury issues and his scoring was up towards the end of the season.
I would give Yaegar a chance this season. Third line with Eller or Malkin and some top powerplay time.
Other problems – toughness, losing focus in the third period, stamina.
I definitely think that this is a team which doesn’t know what it is doing. If they’re selling at the deadline, why only give up Guentzel? Ned was having a good season. Surely Edmonton or Colorado would have been interested. And if selling, why not tank the team this year, get the too 10 draft pick and then win next year. Pittsburgh’s finishing situation is the worst possible. They missed the playoffs but lost their draft pick (probably).
Crosby should continue to be a point a game, but Malkin will be worse. Letang was always a defensive blunder, now he cant even get points.
Karlsson production wont be anything special. I suspect they won't be that close.
