Penguins eyeing forward for forward swap?
Jim Rutherford has gone public again in comments about Derick Brassard in stating the obvious that Brassard is underperforming. Rutherford often speaks off the cuff but he’s also calculated in trying to get messages out. However, it’s reached the point where how does it do Brassard or the team any good at this point to go public that he’s performing well below expectations? Enough messages through the media and to the player have already been sent.
The Penguins always planned to get through December before deciding which direction they wanted to go with Brassard and the decision’s been made over the last week or so to aggressively engage in trade scenario’s.
Pittsburgh is evaluating situations to move Brassard for a draft pick to open up salary cap space that would be connected to a separate move, and are kicking around a forward for forward type swap, and they’re not married to getting a center back in return.
All options are being put on the table.
There’s been some Brassard for [hide] Zack Kassian + a high pick (coming Pittsburgh’s way) talk circulating that is said to have been kicked around in Penguin circles, but word is Edmonton’s on Brassard’s no trade list, though, players can always decide to waive. Last year Brassard blocked a trade to Winnipeg and most of the Canadian teams are on his eight team no-trade list, but he might waive to go anywhere at this point.[/hide]

If Jim Rutherford was in the mood to gamble, something you can never rule out, and add a high-priced third line center with term, Brassard is attractive on the market, league sources contend.

CNN just keeps embarrassing itself. It’s good seeing Areva Martin get hammered on twitter, though,
Being a white male is the worst possible race in the united states. What is this “white privilege” she is talking about?
Same core roster.
Can’t believe pens beat sharks in finals and were too fast for the sharks. Tonight was the other way around. Even Joe Thornton looked faster than malkin
And that hertl goal beating malkin was classic we will see highlights of the week. At least we can be happy for the russian making in the highlight of the week been a long time he hasn’t been on it lol
Npl suckss
So does the DemocRats
Good news, TBJ thinks the Pens have 9 NHL caliber Dmen.
You dont?
Letang, Dumo, Schultz, Maatta, Riikola, Oleksiak, Petterssen, JJ and Ruhwedel. There’s 9. Ruhwedel could go either way, but he’s shown enough at the NHL level to where he can be considered an NHL defenceman. Another swing and miss for samaloni.
He also thinks Kings will trade kopitar for brassard and mattaa
Pens look Sam-level slow tonight
Penguins look so slow and sloppy tonight. Sharks are just blowing by them and taking all the space they need.
Yeah, but if there’s one thing this team can do it’s answer quick. Just need to string together a few good shifts.
Zzzzzzzzz
Forget about shutting TVs off. Tonight most bandwagon’s didnt even turn on their tvs in the first place. All tucked in sleeping with a bottle of milk in their mouths. Except npl still gets fed from his moms breasts
How can a dude with two dads be breast fed. Silly post.
And just like that Murray in his old form. 2 goals on 4 shots
Hertl beating malkin. Scum sully madd
What a weak goal
Letang suckss npl
Hey Yoda, Sprong sucks and Fleury is the best goalie the Pens ever had.
Getting some help from Nashville.
Today price is not playing and niemi is when 99% of the time price plays home games .
I guess habs chose him to play yesterday on the road and put niemi in home game because today’s team Florida suckss
Just like npl
And the democRATS
You’re the only one that cares about that pathetic franchise. Further proof you’re a habsfan and just jumped on the Penguins bandwagon.
Walls work
democRats don’t
Funny how you live vicariously through Americans. American politics. American teams. Dan Bylsma and Orpik. You need to embrace the stank and losing culture of Quebec. That’s who you are. A smelly little troll that knows nothing except losing and being a virgin that jumps on bandwagons.
I hear Rick Nash is on the trading block.
I hear your dream might finally come True with Shane Doan coming to Pittsburgh
Again…. that was probably you. I never once brought up Shane Doan. Keep trying.
It was definitely him. I remember how bad he wanted him. He’s the only one who wants retired Canadians or Canadians on the verge of retirement. If he were a gm, the average age of his team would be 38.
Oilers Cs… McDavid, Draisatl, Hopkins…. that’s a pipe dream. Despite the market there will be curiousity about Brassard returning to form… use that. Fuck Edmonton… Oilers 😉
Return for brassard will be goodd because Vegas retaining some of salary and if pens can retain some too in a deal teams will jump to get him so they would overpay to get him .
I think Vegas retaining $2m now
Ever since Sam posted that video of NPL and his boyfriend, their relationship has never been the same.
Can you imagine he even send npl to Montreal to get his remaining of his belongings all that to test if he still loves him.
I would take Bones back for Brassard.
The player ya, the contract?
ENOUGHHHH. WITH. Ex players fuckkkkkk what’s up with people here living with past I heard Mario might make comeback
We all saw every penguin that came back experience wasn’t the same. Few examples. Eaton,scuderi but hey since you like ex players orpig just played his 1000th match yesterday pens might as well get him to make droolers like you happy
You mad bro?
Hell I would take a cadaver for Br@SID4800$$@SID4800ss
Sam’s mom makes him sit down when he pees. #sprayer
