Penguins/NHL
An impact trade for the Penguins has yet to transpire
Stalled on the trade market in recent weeks, the Penguins opening night roster three months from now could very likely be what it is on paper as of July 12.
Penguins GM Jim Rutherford has been aggressively trying to shakeup his roster since around mid-June but the Penguins have found tough sledding on matching up in talks on specific targets.
Adding an impact left winger has been high on Rutherford’s list on the trade market and the Penguins have been courting Carolina’s Jeff Skinner since the week of the draft to no avail.
Tristan Jarry would have/or will be part of any Skinner to Pittsburgh trade but only as a second or third piece, league sources say. Pittsburgh’s unwillingness to build a package around To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”! and Carolina’s signing of Calvin DeHann has further complicated Pittsburgh’s pursuit of Skinner as internal discussions were on-going of including To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
— The Penguins have told rival clubs all summer that they had no plans to trade Derick Brassard and that mindset remains. If a team inquired about Brassard, Pittsburgh would obviously put it on their board as they have but the club hasn’t been instigating trade talks on Brassard at any point.
At the end of the day, the Penguins want to see this play out, where as mentioned before, they view Brassard as tremendous value with a $3 million cap hit and don’t believe the fit was as poor as so many make it out to be.
One thing I’m told on Brassard that has caught the attention of the organization in a good way is how Brassard has made it known to the team he is very open to playing wing, something the Penguins feel means a lot as Brassard is entering a contract year and going from center to wing at age 31 is still dicey from an individual standpoint.
Pittsburgh also believes Brassard wants to be here, despite the obvious reduction in role when elsewhere he could be a clear No. 2 center.
When teams were exploring trades for Brassard at last years deadline, one thing that interested clubs became aware of is he wants to play in the East and isn’t keen on playing in Canada.
Not surprisingly, his 8-team no trade list is said to include many Canadian teams, Winnipeg and MTo read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
— Rutherford confirmed tonight the worst kept secret in town that Brassard is going to be given an opportunity on wing in the top-6 during training camp.
Brassard’s going to get a look with Evgeni Malkin, and whether the two click right away or not isn’t the goal. It’s giving Brassard a comfort level to be able to play wing in spots during the season than it likely being a full-time role from here on out.
As for his role as the third line center………
Word is the coaches have spent a lot of time studying tape on linemates Brassard has clicked with in the past to put together a better combo of wingers when he’s deployed as the third line center. That To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
— Brassard getting time on Evgeni Malkin’s wing won’t be the only headline story early in camp. So will Jack Johnson playing the right side To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
There’s a strong desire from some in the organization for the coaches to begin the stages of sheltering Kris Letang next season and use him more as a No. 2 pairing d-man.

Some crazy 60 year old Edmonton woman rammed her SUV In KFC. .
Please get to confirm if it was Ron klattts mom .
Rumour is that the woman might of got influance for this act by watching creep van. Ron must of left movie on before he went to work
You’re so bad at this.
KFC got vanned.
This site is going full retard all summer.
It’s normal npl has no school he has time to kill
Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, ‘Rain Man,’ look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho’. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, ‘Forrest Gump.’ Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and he won a ping-pong competition. That ain’t retarded. He was a goddamn war hero. You know any retarded war heroes? You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don’t buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, “I Am Sam.” Remember? Went full retard, went home empty-handed.
“You never go full retard!”
Derek Grant signed? Another center to the collection
The Penguins don’t want the Canadians to get any centers.
If im Sully, i would bring these lines:
71 / 87 / 72
59 / 19 / 81
62 / 11 / 41
DG / 15 / 17
That’s why you are not sully you fat slob
Remember when we hired him you called him scum Sully and said he would be terrible? Then he won two cups…
Take JM out from the team and scum sully would be fired end of season. .
Scum sully said on 2 occasions he depends heavily on JM decisions .
Your type of moron that gets fooled by the clown in front of the curtan the way you were fooled by clown DB
You just can’t stop drooling over DB.
Why would I drool over him I never liked that scum bag. Always seen him as a fraud in the league. Just like this year he is getting more money then his head coach and he is an assistant.
Does this hate have anything to do with an American taking over a French Canadian’s job and performing MUCH better, on his way to a Stanley Cup victory?
Take the Canadians and put them in the States and they will have a chance.
I would move Sid to wing and play 71 1c. He’s the real leader of the team.
Here’s one better for morons like you. Strip the C away from sid and trade him .make you aka stan happy
Remember you said Malkin would be back in Russia? Then he signed an 8 year contract…
There seems to be a need for some clarification. I wouldn’t** bring these lines if I were Sully. Thought that would be obvious.
I have full confidence in the captain but Geno made – what i thought was a very good offer – to assist on the 1st line.
Pens signed C Deryk Grant to league min salary. Had 12 goals and 12 assists in 64 games last season for Anaheim. Gritty and physical, 6’3 215, good on faceoffs.
Good depth now. I’m assuming it’s a one way….
Yes, one way.
Good for faceoffs and PK? Good size. I guess he is Cullens backup.
Now that pens have no backup for Murray early this season this will be the perfect opportunity to expose that fraud goalie. If he plays a full season.
Last I checked his due to an injury again. .I wonder if he shares same agent ,doctor if Beau Bennett and Salo
That’s 246,179 straight idiotic posts. Just keep adding to your record.
Trevor Noah said Africa won the World Cup for France. Hahaha. He’s 100% right.
Tell us something we dont know. Oh yeah true most of you here don’t even watch soccer.
Last I checked France won with team Africa in 1998 but you wouldn’t know that because you weren’t born.
So you admit the French suck?
How do you think US athletes always win. Steroids because they suckk
The way you suckk dickss
Did you know WWF Raw began in 1993? The same year the Canadiens last won the Cup. Seems so long ago.
Same year your mom started her gangbangg event
I asked her about this and she was extremely strong and powerful in her denial. I have no reason to believe it would be her.
Of course she would deny isnt that the main thing liberals do ?
LMAO.. you’re criminally stupid lol
Seeing how we know you recently mastered google why don’t you copy his statement in verbatim and paste it into the search bar… see what comes back and tell the class
You denied Kessel could be a star and champion.
And look how much the WWE continued to improve it’s brand. Maybe Vince should buy the Canadians.
Improved yeah for you since it’s PG era .
Product sucks reason he is there it’s because he has no competition.
Ondrej Pavelec, Steve Mason, Kari Lehtonen.
Why would you not make a Niemi offer to any of these 3?
…. 1.4 million in cap space left? Any one of these eats a large chunk of that meaning there is little left to make any noted improvements at the deadline.
Tending scenario is tough, if Murray is steady and we can get solid starts from Jarry/DeSmith then it’s a wasted move. I imagine we won’t see that type of move until well into October, don’t quote me on that but!
If MM can stay mentally focused and healthy, a big if, then maybe they will be ok. If he goes down and they play defense like they did last year, good luck. I still do not believe JJ is the answer. I hope he proves me wrong.
That’s what I am alluding to, while I haven’t wrote off Murray like far too many have we need to be a little cautious I would say. This is why I am thinking the team will see Murray and the back up performance early on and decide from there
It’s 1.4 including DeSmith or Jarry as the backup. If you send 1 down, you have 2 mill. Any of the 3 should accept 1 year, 1 mill imo.
Because. None of them will take 1m

I can’t wait for voter ID laws to be enacted.
Agreed…

Reality is they need to clean up voter suppression of all kinds especially gerrymandering!
Npl thinks obama will be next US president .
I just came
Liar you haven’t even hit puberty yet
Npl thinks florida is the best place in the US to live
Omg I hope no one believes this. I’ll be ruined!!
Montreal interested in trading for Jimmy Vesey?
He just resigned with rags for 2 years
Its like no one wants to play in Montreal
You think people wants to play for the panthers
I dont care.
You seriously struggle with the idea that everyone on this page except you and yoda are actually Pens fans hey….
Yeah as if every players come summer are lined up to play for florida
Versteeg and stempniak available.
One of them I would sign under a million
I do not see them signing anyone unless someone’s salary, most likely Hags, gets dumped. If I am not mistaken they are pretty much up against the cap and GMJR likes to leave a million dollar buffer just in case.
Pens also need a backup goalie can’t rely on murray and his backup
The back up goalie market was very thin this summer but I do agree DeSmith and Jarry are not the answers. I never believed they were. If Murray catches the Beau Bennett disease, and sadly he has an injury track record, they are fucked. They need a older, veterian backup just in case. Someone to push him.
Sam thinks Pat Roy would help solve the issue. Roy covers all of Sams pre-selected demographics in what he likes as a player
Pens were very inpatient with niemi last year they couldve kept him and sign this year too I guess they burned their bridges with him
Let them keep buring. It is easy to be a good backup goalie when your team is so bad that there is no pressure.
I would like to root for Montreal. I mean wouldn’t.
Apparently barroway looking to sell 49% coyotes $500$ valuation.
They should just sell 100% of that shithole of a team along with Florida and Carolina those teams they have no business to be in nhl league .
Only thing they are good for is leach money off healthy teams in order to support their empty arenas
In the last 25 seasons, who has more Stanley Cups: Montreal or Carolina?
How many Americans were on the roster the year canes won
Thats not the argument. You said a team has no business being in Carolina. I argued that theyre more successful than Montreal over the past 25 seasons. So maybe the NHL should consider relocating Montreal?
Tampa has one as well. Montreal has no chance. Ever.
Tampa has been to the finals twice, so has Carolina since Montreal last won the Cup. And they both are built to go much further then Montreal. They should remove the C off their jerseys since they have no centers.
6.
In the last 25… both Montreal and Arizona have been to the conference finals once each lol
I like how you weren’t sure if the dollar sign should go before or after the number, so you just put it in both places. Nice!
Lol thats cute
Trump is an international embarrassment.
You’re wrong. Maybe national since democrats try to bash him.
But international. Embarrassment is obama and trudeau .no one can best those 2 morons. Unless you run for president
Wrong again Sam! Sorry Dustin, you’ll never catch up.

It is so funny how uninformed you tend to keep yourself… keep on samming sammich
Npl suckss so does Florida
In actual hockey news the Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed forwards Teddy Blueger and Thomas Di Pauli and defenseman Ethan Prow to one-year contracts, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Jim Rutherford.
All three contracts are two-way deals that contain an average annual value of $650,000 at the NHL level.
More proof I am not part of Dustin’s Thumbs Down Crew.
There is crews for that?
According to Dustin, yes. The same guy who thinks JJ is a better defensemen then Ian Cole.
I bet Bernie Sanders is our next president. Always seems to flip from Democrat to Republican (Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump). I just think the liberal hatred of Trump will be too much to overcome and I’m not sure who else on the Democratic side would have a chance at the popular vote.
I think the television networks are pretty much putting a bow on the next election. Besides repeal O’bama care, Trump is fixing the economy, putting people back to work, and showing he has a set in order to stand up to the world. If he can secure the borders, his first 4 years wil have been a success.
Democrats need to get a black man if they want to win. Clowns like Oprah, Hilary, Sanders etc will get crushed. When push came to shove, the states who flipped the election woke up and are now reaping the benefits.
Give it up. You’ll only ever be the 2nd dumbest poster while Sam is here.
This is my favourite line “Besides repeal O’bama care”… who should tell him?
I bet hes one of those people who thinks the Affordable Care Act is better than “O’bama Care.” Either way, theres no sense in sharing facts with these types of people. If they werent appalled by Trump’s actions yesterday, theyre strictly party above country with an extra side of dumbassery. They should be ashamed, but sadly, theyre too fn retarded to understand.
Without question! I just wonder how long before the Republicans that stood up and said “what the fuckk” fall back in line. I give it a week
Lead indicators, learn what they mean… they have slowed since he took office… by Standing up you mean let Putin stick his hand up his *** before he spoke and **** all over US government agencies in favour of Putins word? The delusion is strong with this one.
As many have said this shouldn’t be a partisan argument anymore… its about one man selling out your nation to serve his own interests
Sanders will not be democrat or republican .
He will run for the the new founding fathers of America
Shut up, racist.
Typical democrat line when. Someone does t agree with them he is racist. Just like obama ban Iraq and some countries to come to states he was a hero minute trump bans few countries he is labelled racist
None of that has anything to do with you only liking French Canadians.
I feel bad for Dustin. On any other site, he’d be by far the dumbest poster. Sam, you ruin everything.
Trump wins the next election by an even bigger landslide than when he sromped pants suit.
Is that what he got out of today’s meeting?
Republican John McCain:
“Today’s press conference in Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory. The damage inflicted by Pres. Trump’s naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate.”
Funny how you show up for republicans and where your garbage democrats are polluting the country with there nonsense its okay.
#BlackCocksMatter
McCain is a loser. Tell the guy that can’t win an election to know his role.
So the second dumbest poster is against McCain. I like him even more.
Gotta admit, Trump’s line about McCain, while disgraceful, was hilarious. What kinda hero gets captured.
One that is brave enough to go to war, not dodge it with pretend bone spurs
Winston Churchill…
George Washington was captured by the French at one point… reconcile that
“I trust Putin more than US Intelligence” – Donald J. Trump
Well said you can’t trust bunch of democrat scum bags waiting to backstabbing you
At least in Russia they fear their president.
Not like Americans all the so is bash their president and make fun of him on late night shows .
Only in america you see dumbass people and yet call them selves United States. More like devided states of America. If only Korea can nuke new York, Florida and new York country would be in piece .
Who knows maybe trump have green like to Korean to nuke these leaches
One thing we learned today: the Russian pee tape is real.
The President of the US betrayed America today. Thats disgusting. Anyone still support this traitor?
I miss the days of the Obama European apology tour.
I believe that review takes place November 2020. Squeeze into your pants suit and hit the phone banks.
I miss diplomacy too
You’re right. It Worked with Iran and North Korea.
What went wrong with Iran? I mean they have lived up to their end… every other country involved has stuck around for that reason. Korea on the other hand. Trumps visit legitimized the tyrant and led to them stepping up their program… big win for the GOP hey lol
Or when he send millions of dollars to Iran before his end of the 2nd term
Better then crooked Hilary
And her cnn channel
Clinton News Network
Well, turn to Fox News then: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/07/16/putin-eats-trumps-lunch-in-helsinki-this-is-no-way-to-win-against-russia.html
Trump said his employee review with Putin went well. That’s nice.
So Chicago PD shoots and kills a black man that was reaching for a holstered weapon and black people are still rioting. The record number of homicides is ok though.
And that has what to do with Hockey?
Nothing at all. It’s the middle of July
Ahh shitt here comes npl and #BlackCocksMatter
Movement again
Protesters took to the streets hearing the victim was unarmed. The police released the video in record time showing that the kid was holding a semi-auto pistol and looks to have reached for it in the video. In a vacuum we can say, what the fuck Chicago but that’s hardly the case. Protesters threw shit at cars Saturday night, dispersed at 10:30…. worst riot ever!
The protestor’s hit the streets again Sunday morning but I cannot see any violence accompanying them this time. It’s funny how context on a story changes the narrative.
Must be trumps fault.
I bet npl thinks that way
Trumps an ass, only slightly less than you but this is an ongoing problem in the area. Only the very simple will point at the issue and blame one person! Similar to the way we talk about goalies out here. That said he was very vocal about who he thought was the problem…
Obama made is this mess with filling up Mexicans and blacks.
And when it’s runed by democrats that’s the result you should expect
Case in point!
Elect a clown expect a circus
Do you understand what the term irony means?
Is that what you tough?
#FatLivesMatter
I guess that’s one way to find self worth…
France in riot mode
So Ray Emery apparently drown last night
Sad day for npl
Cmon man, have some dignity. He just pasted away.
Probably he was drunk
Doesn’t make sense with friends and drowns an athlete like him. It’s like he was in the ocean or sea
I wish the US had a place to dump their rejects like France did with Canada.
I wish US had a special place to dumb fat people. Oh wait the country itself is already a dumb for fat people
The president does not reflect the nation as a whole. The majority didnt even vote for him.
Same goes for trudeau
No argument there. Theres plenty of fat, dumb Canadians. E.g. you.
So much irony in the above statement.
New TIOPS rule: All NHL players are above criticism because theyre millionaires. If you dont like it, please take it up with the very sensitive Maloni.
Allez Les bleus
Jumping on the St. Louis bandwagon now. This is at least your 6th team since April.
Why the fuckk is joey chestnuts doing in Canada when you have idiot’s like trudeau expect Canada be polluted with trash that US sends
Apparently npl tried to come to Canada to support his idol joey chestnut but was turned back at the boarder due to his too fat
After this incident it is rumoured npl with start a new movement called #FatLivesMatter
You enjoy talking to yourself, don’t you?
Which one of your accounts did you use to give me those thumbs down, chubby?
He will be playing center for Montreal this season. He signed a 20 year contract with a no trade clause.
Let me google and see if he is an nhl player
Unless npl knows and I’ll ask him
Montreal hardly has NHL players now.
Am I still Stan?
You’re still a tard
Coming from the depressed idiot that thought Zatkoff should start over Fleury and Murray…
Exactly what I said. Nailed it.
Shock hes not in the NHL anymore… how could everyone else be so wrong? Here we are handing 7 million AAV to MAF while Zatkoff cant even get an NHL job… you need to call someone and let them know your thoughts
A certified Moron
Brassard to wing …. where did I hear that prediction (4 months ago)
Cullen will not last a full season as C.
There is also rumours he might play top 6 role as a wing
Top 6 role on wing? As opposed to playing center? Lol.
Same guy that predicted Zatkoff would be our playoff starter…
For all of our sake let’s hope that’s still in the cards.
Was it you? I remember you saying something about “dude can play” but dont know if referred to Brassard on the wing…
You mean the dude that just re-upped with Vegas for more money then you’ll ever make in your lifetime? That dude.
Guy gets upset at giving legit NHLers a contract but will defend this… after stating, and I nearly quote “he isnt built for this team but…”
Pretty sure you called for last season… which didn’t happen lol
I think with Sam’s help I figured it out. The thumbs down crew.
TBJ = Stan
NPL = Carramrod
Gaydog = Zero
First I was Stan, now I am NPL. Who will I be next week?
Someone in my “thumbs down crew” must have stopped by.
isnt it amazing how the sam half dozen, who usually dont shit all over one another, silent down vote each other… fucking shocking it has nothing to do with asinine commentary
Maloni = Sam = cbauer
Or maybe your opinions are just so shitty on average that most, including all the above, give you the down vote?
Underwhelming off-season remenisant of last years off season-
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2e/4e/f3/2e4ef373f47abad667395488b4b853dd.gif
Get lost you fat liberal.
Your just pissed.because Putin doesn’t wave the gay flag like your people and trump agrees with him
U mad bro?
Sorry can’t accept your kind
Sam’s favorite Canadiens player is Jamie Benn…
He plays for the habs ?
That might need a google search to confirm it .
Quickly then… to your google machine
Interesting. He knew exactly what to do.
MAF reup for 7 per for 3 years
Good for him he is getting the month that he was suppose to get when he was with pens when he took discount for the team. He is a future HOF
Only thing is its a bit high for his age he is at
All about the month
Same attitude as stan.
I tough you meant amount and not month.
His doesn’t know what his meants.
This thread is wilds
So what is the amount of his contract a month?
*amount
That doesnt leave them a lot of money to find a goalie who wont blow it in the playoffs.
You mean the pens we know. They have $1.5m and no backup goalie.
and a 2 time cup winning starter
two goalies… one is 2 for 2 in the finals while the other is 1 for 3…. guess who they are
One that carried the teams to the final while the other team played in front of him for him.
And needed to replaced after a historically bad performance leading to an elimination game for the Pens, we should be thankful Murray game back just in time
So i’m a vegas fan for at least 3 more years!!!
https://media.tenor.com/images/05bce13a7d93e6002a6b13b5a88d302e/tenor.gif
You wish that was trudeau and you were doing that to him
I dont like bananas enough to steal them from another person.
50 bucks says I know where Sam will take this next…
I’m sure if we put chocolate fondu on it you would swallow it instantly thinking something else you fat fuckk
Which Montreal Canadian would help the Pens more this year? Marian Hossa who has retired due to injury, or Marcel Hossa who hasn’t played in the NHL since 2008.
I think marion. According to npl there is another hossa
Marion Hossa doesnt play for the Canadiens, Sam. We’ve been over this.
Johnson top pairing? Ya I will believe when people who actually talk to the team say the same…
And the Skinner talk is OLD news also. He doesn’t realize how his own points nulify his other points. If you have Guentzel, Hagelin and ZAR at left wing and they are now putting Brassard at wing (he’s a left handed shot), where would you put Skinner? 5 left wing model?
While I have no doubts Brassard gets a look on the wing early and definitely if he has a rough start, or even periodically through the year, if people believe Cullen is gonna play full time C this year I have a bridge for sale I would like to talk to them about
I do not see Cullen playing C for the entire season and the playoffs if they make it.
I see him playing wing 5v5 most of the year with PK duties up the middle and injury fill in
Now that hossa traded to coyotes they now have $8.5m. Expect them going after Max pac
So now D and some others can put their drooling on hold
The Habs traded Marion Hossa??
Who’s marion ? 3rd hossa ? Thanks didint know that
Im assuming its Marion because Marian never played for the Habs like you said he did.
Also, cmon bro, you just garbled out “Tachuck” and “Ronnick” in the last article. Stay in your lane.
ALSO – thanks for confirming you Googled MariAn Hossa last night when you learned he had a brother named Marcel who played for the Canadiens.
I never google it I’ve watched him play for the habs
But thanks for confirming us that you googled it .knowing your liberal tactics. Often puts on others what they do.
Nope, you googled
He definitely googled it
Coming from the asshole that thought he was cute bringing up the trash Hossa that no one gave a fuckk about while not realizing it was garbage Hossa and not HoFer Hossa that played for the Habs lol
Can’t blame him for not wanting any parts of Canadian teams. Also funny to see our 7 million dollar French Canadian fraud is making his way down the lineup. What a terrible contract.
I don’t believe any of these from D. Complete BS, but at least we have a new page to post on.
Yeah gives npl and tbj new place and opportunities to thumbs down people
D is drooling over max pac
