Ferland talks inching towards the finish line
1. There is a growing sense among clubs that were in the mix for Carolina Hurricanes winger Micheal Ferland that Pittsburgh To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
There is one mystery surrounding the Ferland talks.
This isn’t Don Waddell’s style by any means but multiple executives say Hurricanes To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
4. One executive on the Penguins willingness to go big in the rental market. [hide] ‘If two weeks from now they’ve [Pittsburgh] come up empty and Matt Duchene becomes available, you can bet Jimmy will be swinging for the fences.’
Pittsburgh once pursued a Duchene – Olli Maatta trade that didn’t interest Colorado. Funny thing is, Maatta would actually interest the Senators but that’s a discussion for a few weeks down the road.
5. Pittsburgh has two prospects they often get asked about when involved in trade talks for high-level type trade targets:
Defenseman Calen Addison and winger Kasper Bjorkqvist to a lesser extent.
That’s the extent of it in the Penguins system. Nothing against other promising players in the system, but everyone has an Anthony Angello, Nikita Pavylchev or Filip Hallander.
Addison and Bjorkqvist are the lone tier 1/tier 2 type prospects that get you to the table like Filip Gustavsson did last year in the Brassard talks.[/hide]
Pennsylvania 40 car pile up
26 Cars. Fake news.
Please no first for Ferland. Ffs, the guy only topped 25 points once in his career (although he will again this year) and he’s on an expiring contract. If you’re giving up a first, go after Duchene. Simmonds would be sweet, but no way Philly deals him here. Dreger wrote Tampa is interested, which would suck.
Vermette just retired and plays C, plus he is Canadian… the Penguins should trade for him. He is Sam(e)’s perfect target.
Sam is clearly not the thumbs down bandit lol… nothing… then a post and a changed landscape
He thinks he is slick. His patterns are a dead giveaway.
Hey sam, just thought I would share the line from last night
Pens were outshot 35 to 22
Out-chanced 19 – 16
High Danger 7 – 7
Murray outplayed Vasilesky
Did you guys catch Pierre M’s retarded comment last night about being Cohen’s face mask?
Didn’t catch that one but i caught all the “mansplaining” he was doing to Coyne. It was cringe worthy.
Man he’s a meatball… 50 bucks says he shares DNA with the sammich lol
you guys mean you haven’t learned to turn down the volume yet? go to your pens ap and listen to lange and bourque. they are about 20 seconds behind the TV broadcast. it’s easy to sync up with your DVR
Yah that’s clutch. I don’t mind Steve Mears, but Lange is a legend. I could thisyear or next being his last.
yeah, that was pretty bad. it reminded me of the time when prince Charles said he wanted to be his mistresses tampon.
It doesn’t matter who the pens get. As long as Crosby and malkin can skate with at least one 4th line player Sullivan will be happy. If the pens got Duchene, I bet Sullivan would skate him with Aston Reese.
The Pitt Media’s love affair with ZAR is mind boggling.
Dude can’t play?
Where do you play Ferland if he is aquired? 2nd line LW?
He is the type player he can play 1st ,2nd and 3rd line
At the same time?
He is like kunitz. He has a nice wrister ,checks plays physical fights when he has too and not shy to go the dirty areas Can possibly be a good combination with Crosby he can be that 25 goal 50 pts guy
You are the the retarded French version of Bob McKenzie.
so … he is pierre lebrun?
Ha! Nicely played!
That is ridiculously insulting to Pierre Lebrun 🙁
