PENGUINS PERSONNEL SHIFT HAS BEGUN
PIT Receives: Nick Bjugstad, Jared McCann
FLA Receives: Derick Brassard, Riley Sheahan, 2019 2nd RD Pick, 2019 4th RD Pick (PIT), 2019 4th RD Pick (MIN)
There was growing momentum in league circles when Derick Brassard was scratched Wednesday night that he had played his last game as a Penguin.
Indeed that became the case when Jim Rutherford today shipped Brassard, Riley Sheahan along with three draft picks to the Florida Panthers for Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann. This is a deal the Penguins internally are thrilled about.
As discussions over the summer began of an organizational shift in acquiring players with more size, effectiveness along the wall, Nick Bjugstad became a top target even prior to the 2018 draft. Pittsburgh thinks so highly of Bjugstad that the Penguins even approached Florida about a deal centered around Phil [hide] Kessel for Bjugstad. There would have been other concepts involved, Florida took a look but passed with the $10 million in signing bonuses Kessel is due in the final two years of his contract being a sticking point from the Panthers end.
Pittsburgh was always going to keep poking around on Bjugstad but with how reluctant Dale Taillon had always been on moving Bjugstad and the season Bjugstad had in 17/18, the Penguins a few months ago never imagined being able to put a deal together for Bjugstad where they could flip two pending UFA’s + picks for him.
Excitement in the organization is that the perfect storm played out in being able to make this deal in that Bjugstad is having a down season and Florida just saw it as an opportunity to open cap space for next season where the likes of Sergei Bobrovsky, Artemi Panarin have living in Fort Lauderdale high on their list.
In Bjugstad, he checks a lot of boxes of what they’re trying to in slightly changing the style of play. Bjugstad gives the Penguins more size and length down the middle or on the wing. He isn’t an aggressive player by any means for how big he is, but he’s smart in knowing how to use his size in protecting the puck down low, keeping possessions ability , an area that has driven Penguin coaches nuts with some of their forwards.

— Is Bjugstad the Penguins long-term third line center?
It’s where he’ll start but not even the Penguins are certain of that.
Scouts and coaches like him on the wing better (from getting the most production out of him standpoint), where a high-end center can bring out Bjugstad’s skillset much more so than Bjugstad can himself in being the 1A or 1B option as the third line center. There’s some good offensive tools that come out best when he’s paired up with higher-end players and his strengths of creating scoring chances off the wall are more equipped when he’s at the wing. There’s just some little things where his game flashes more as a winger.
That’s not to say Bjugstad’s isn’t a capable third line center. He certainly is but if you’re looking for a reincarnation of Nick Bonino or Jordan Staal, he’s not that type of player. Bjugstad does not kill penalties nor show a willingness to put his body on the line for a blocked shot like Bonino would, nor is he a shutdown physically powering type To read this insider news, subscribe to get “Inside Access”!
On the surface, it stands out as a smart philosophy for this management group with this core now in their 30’s. But are they betting on the right players?

DePaoli is still breaking down the Mcann trade
Murray is a fraud. Tough to win when yout goalie is giving up wrist shots from 50 feet out
And when you get shut out.
In fairness to him he’s hurt….
I mean I try to stay level headed on the net but this is getting old. He apparently travelled
It was 80’s night and they looked like the Penguins from the early 80’s.
Stacey Abrams, really? Lol
I love the irony of having here give the rebuttal.
That was embarassing for the democrats. What a fail.
I bet NPL wore white to show his unity with women.
I think he was at the Amalie arena section 8. The handicap section watched fleury and the Golden knights beat the best team in the league Tampax with a comeback from 2-0
Being a true bandwagon boy
Vegas vs Tampax wow what a playoff style game and atmosphere
Devils fans are changing kovalsuckk
They are changing him? Did he go in his pants?
Is there proof of this anywhere? What are they putting on him? Is he naked? This whole thing seems very unprofessional.
And you are telling me you are not Stan. Can’t be 2 identical morons on this small site that contains 10 members.
Says the French Canadian Simply Dusty…
Walls work…
DemocRats don’t
Hope we get our best Center back…..Get well soon Malkin.
Shit game all around, Carolina did a great job getting the stick to the puck tonight. Few bright spots overall, I’m still liking Bjugstad and McCann, I hope they help out when Malkin returns. Murray was mehrry most of the night, they couldn’t string together two passes, defence was not very good. Carolina was good… Screw McElhinney lol. The PP was fuckk awful… they need Schultz and Geno back, they rely on a shooter and don’t have one at the moment. Pearson tho… that fucken guy… I get it, he’s streaky but he had that great opportunity in the first… Read more »
Noticed that early on about the falling what the hell was that about made no sense Carolina had no problem staying up.
Despite the idea the Pens may no longer be looking, I’m very interested in another winger! I mean price matters and yes Malkin return may move one of the Panthers to the wings but… I’d like a more proven scorer somewhere in the lineup. Zuccerllo would look good with Sid and then yoda could shut the fuck up for a week lol
No matter what players you have you need a goalie that can stop pucks come playoffs if you don’t want your season looks like a bust after all those trades
Ya, we definitely cannot have a repeat of 2013 when Vokoun had to replace MAF after acquiring all that talent…
Yep. Couldn’t win for almost a decade until we replaced Fleury.
Meanwhile that same fleury has more wins and less loss than the entire penguins this season
Ok… and he has a massive L in the playoff column after collapsing last year! Those are the ones that truly matter
1 – 2 record in finals series lol!
Yeah maybe magic number for Murray will go back to 4 instead of 5
Npl watching Trump at the house chamber on his favourite channel CNN
Clinton New Network.
Everyone clapping their hands except for that Pelosi
Scum Pelosi.
Congrats Paul Maurice for becoming 6th coach in the NHL to coach 1500 games
not sure which is worse Pens game or Pitt’s game.
So since its boring….what is everybody’s thoughts do we shop for anything? Do we just wait what will come? Will there be any serious offers for Maata or Jarry even a draft pick…..Will GMJR try to save money and see if he can trade all the draft picks for this year so he doesn’t have to attend the draft :)?
Rumours that ducks might go after jackets goalie
Flyers got their 2000 victory
1967 expansion teams victories
Flyer’s 2000 wins
Blues 1838 wins
Penguins 1810
Stars 1767
Here’s for fun seals 229 win 67-78
Difference between all those teams and penguins. They have 5 cups while rest have 3 combined
Hard to believe flyers have 200 wins more than penguins
Maybe in 10 years penguins can pass them
And you forgot the Kings.
Haven’t you guys noticed almost every year our Russian takes vacation right around all Star break right before or after. and always it starts with practise day off then becomes day to day. Week to week then all of sudden it’s a month off this con man has the team and the bandwagon fan base from their ballz
Shultz took contact in practice.
Nice, articles have noted JR will sit and see how the roster looks healthy before making another move, I am guessing Geno is back soon and maybe ZAR? Apparently the Pens are no longer looking at wingers too… likely priced out of the Ferland market… for now
-852,372 thumbs down. Lol.
“Quoth the sammich”
No wonder npl is not here. He has been busy somewhere else
Malkin back yet from his annual vacation ?
He’s about to tag Letang in
The Toronto Maple Leafs and superstar Auston Matthews agreed to a five-year contract extension with an average annual value of $11.634 million
Just seen that…. Marner will probably get 10
I have no idea how they are going to keep all those guys. Someone will throw out an offer sheet for Marner this summer.
Its already being discussed according to rumour
Jim Northam was seriously going to moonwalk hahah
Muzzin 2 assist 1 goal tonight
Gibson in all Star game form.
Drooling Sam(e)
the pens propaganda machine was in full force today. chemistry between kessel and bjugstad is being reported and the pens finally found the 3rd line center for phil. yeah, like 2 games proves anything.
He has fit in better in 2 games then Brassard has his entire time in Pitts. Yes 2 games is not much to go on but it is called a start. But people need to complain about something .
One thing we know for sure, kessel loves being a 3rd liner. Soon Simon will be logging more ice than Hornqvist and kessel. With simons 11 career goals, he’s earned it!!!
Yeah, the guy has the 3rd longest consecutive playing streak in the NHL at over 700 plus games and he enjoys playing as a third line winger. You hate Simon, we get it…. one has nothing to do with the other. If Kessel-Bjugstad-Rust work, go with it. Without the HBK line there was no cup. I don’t give a shit who logs how much time as long as they win.
I don’t hate Simon. As a matter of fact he’s a serviceable 3rd liner. I just don’t like the coach for giving Simon 1st line duty at the expense of Hornqvists ice time. It’s horrible managing of your assets.
Agreed, Hornqvist seems to contribute regardless of where he plays and adds depth when playing that deep in the line-up soooo… the best thing we can do is put all of the depth into 1 or 2 lines and roll them a-la-EANHL. It takes a real brain dead dumb fuck that thinks simply playing on line 1 vs 3 is where you get your ice time from… only 4 forwards, who’ve been around a while, get more icetime than Hornqvist… Crosby, Guentzel, Malkin and Kessel. Hornqvist averages 15:33… in his last 5 he is averaging 15:48. Hornqvist will still get… Read more »
You seriously have to work in the pens offices as a propaganda agent. That had to take you like an hour and a half to type. If you did that at a normal job you’d get fired.
I’m not a fucken moron so it took maybe 10 minutes! I had to look up a couple things but I’m also not an incompetent fucken retard with a computer which is probably why it seems like it’s a massive accomplishment to a brain dead idiot such as yourself.
“Propaganda” coming from the guy that was literally screaming blow it up as we headed into the 2016 post season. Sorry i don’t see everything as the sky is falling 100% of the time you jackass
In fact the most work intense part? Signing up to a webpage that never used to require a sign in lol
Agreed, I am not sure what the line up looks like when Malkin gets back as the three pivots havent looked bad but one of the 2 FLA guys will move to the wing. McCanns got a lot of go in his game so I am not sure I would move him but if Kessel is finding even a little chemistry with Bjugstad how does one make that choice? Suddenly a good problem to have?
This is a insanely boring SuperBowl lol. Even the fucken halftime show was lame and I like Big Boi lol.
Well now it’s interesting
I wonder how zeroTool enjoyed oilers vs habs today
How did you enjoy the Vegas FLA game yesterday?
Apparently brassard had game winner assist. Now you may drool over and want him back
Using your other accounts again ?
He gets shit on by virtually every poster out here yet we are to believe someone else systemically upvotes everything he does lol
I swear to God I don’t have another account. And don’t wish to have another one either.
Ok… -5 everyone you don’t get along with… +5 for you… before it was unlimited? Like clockwork Sam got the auto 2 up lol that’s three
I swear to God. Maybe you and your crew are hated by others or maybe npl is behind this
Conspiracy Sam(e).
I didn’t even know they played each other but thank you super fan for showing the class who you actually root for lol
It actually took OT to win? Jesus Montreal is struggling lol
Hahahahaha Price was a .875? So is just the box score enough here or what?
Did you see mcdavids face when drouin scored coast to coast goal. Priceless. I don’t know which face was worst this one or the one Crosby schooled him in overtime
You see… I didn’t… and I don’t fucken care lol. You do…
what’s the deal in pgh with the coach getting a lifetime free pass if they win a championship. tomlin wins a superbowl 10 years ago so he is allowed to suck now until the end of time. sullivan wins 2 cups so now he’s allowed to give simon more ice time than hornqvist. can’t say anything though, he won 2 cups.
You can’t say anything, because you’re a moron. He’s won two of his three years, so you’re literally saying you have to win the cup every year or you should get fired. Funny how Sam agrees with you. The short bus is rolling.
When did I ever said fire scum sully. I’m not a huge fan of him but never said he has to go yet
You call him scum sully. Kind of speaks for itself.
Hey zero, my point proven. You are sticking up for the coach and giving him a free pass for a stupid move. You are saying Simon deserves more ice than Hornqvist. Just bad dude…come on. It’s bad coaching.
Actually no I’m not you fucken moron I’m simply stating Crosby likes playing with certain guys over others and unless they shut off Crosby’s line I’m not gonna fucken whine bitchh and complain like a 3 year old girl with a skinned knee about Sid not playing with the higher skilled wingers and why? Because 3 cups… one more than Mario got, in this era with Sid playing with guys who are bottom six on most teams in the league you fucken halfwit!
Guys having one of the greatest first few years of any coach of any team in ages and you think not playing your favourite players with say Kessel is bad coaching? You’re a Twit? You lack any fucken deeper understanding of things such as depth. You’re one of two utter fucken retards that are convinced that Johnson got a five year deal to keep Crosby happy but cannot wrap your minuscule little brain around the fact that Crosby has probably requested certain names because he likes playing with them and his line continues to find ways to click you dumbfuck
You are right. They should have fired him last year bc they lost to Washington who eventually went on to win the cup. In fact, every time a team does not win a cup the coach should be fired. He plays the players JR has given him. Crosby likes playing with Simon (for some reason) and Hornqvist has sustanted to many concussions lately. Plus with Malkin out some balance was needed in that “2nd” line. When Geno comes back Hornqvist’s time will go back up. The whooping two mins less then Simoon. Rust-Bjugsta-Kessel looked pretty good consdering the lack of… Read more »
Lol, cup… cup… lost to cup winner… You’re right… that resume deserves a short leash. So many fucken idiots out here. If the Pens were to miss the playoffs this year you have a fair case although I’m sure 99% of the GMs alltime in hockey (less Lou Lamourillo) would at least give him the following year to redeem himself. Only the fucken dimbshits that live in a cup or bust world after watching Bylsma legit fuck up for 5 full seasons after his win… it was evident coaching was an issue then… it’s only an issue for the fucken… Read more »
Can the Jack Johnson experiment end please….. he is awful and can single handily destroy this team
I still do not understand this signing. You want to give the guy a chance, I get it… Give hime a 1 year deal and see if it works out. No one was chasing him and he got 5 yrs? I will never wrap my mind around this.
Answer is simple asshole. It’s Crosby. They probably want to retire together signing 5 years might give him a chance to win a cup with the club and the salary is simply a charity case they probably felt bad he has been bankrupted and for Crosby sake they gave him a big contract. Crosby is leagues face he gets what he wants specially that he is playing with a discount team has to lick his balls time to time. Also Crosby has so much power we all saw kunitz playing for team Canada back then and if Crosby was not… Read more »
I don’t buy that for a second.
You think Kunitz made the IIHF Olympic team because Crosby has pull on his NHL club and not because of a tendency of the Olympic GM to take pairs that work well together because they don’t have time to build team chemistry?
Kunitz was in the middle of his best season of his career… fuck you’re a stupid fucken idiot
That’s why it didn’t work out in Olympics. You are a tool
Name the stand out in those Olympics idiot! Name one guy that put up numbers… I’ll wait
Lol Crosby had three points… Kunitz goal was more than Tavares and Duchene… tied with Nash!
The whole team played a very calculated reserved set of games… and they fucken won… god you just can’t help yourself can you. Dumb as fucken sin
It’s classic how production never matters until you want to use it to make a very poorly thought out point
neither the Hagelin or Sprong trades are looking good at this point but no one tell the local media.
Sprong needed the change, unless we are sold on the idea he “just didn’t get a shot”. Pettersson looked great at points and quiet at others, he’s a 22 year old defender so he’s gonna take a little to fully develop. That said he’s been serviceable… decent in the depth role he will be expected to play. Schultz leaves a larger hole, he will be an important piece when he gets back. I’m looking forward to seeing what they look like after Malkin returns and is healthy. It’s probably good for him to get some time to rest if he’d… Read more »
The Hags trade was somewhat predictable how it would playout… if Pearson isn’t scoring he isn’t visible. I’m sure the usual suspects were swinging from his nuts when he started to streak a bit shortly after the trade. That said it’s a sign he still has offence in him when you can get him going, if they fire Geno up again it will likely drag Pearson with him. What do you think of Bjugstad and McCann so far? I mean they haven’t had a chance to practice yet but so far I like what they bring. Once they settle in… Read more »
Time will tell on the Bjugstad and McCann trade but I like it b/c it makes them better (at least no worse) now and next year. Brassard and Sheahan weren’t returning next year.
Agreed and I think McCann is somewhat intriguing. While Bjugstad is somewhat predictable as to what he will bring but McCann is a curiousity
Pens need better goalie and a better #2 leftside Dman
I can see how Ferlands energy isn’t needed at all…
Or sheary energy
Good call, if he was playing in Simons place that line probably clicks more last night
Good thing Simon gets several more mins for 2 consecutive games over Hornqvist. Sullivan is a clown.
Good entertaining game. Will be fun watching them play 7 in the ecf. Also will be big getting Malkin back. Toronto has a nice team, tons of speed and talent.
Pens are getting bounced early. Simon on the top line, Hornqvist getting 3rd line minutes…coach is getting in the way.
He’s a very biased coach. Bylsma hated french canadiens and Sullivan loves his guys who skate hard but have no hockey sense. He feels he sends a message to the team that he’s going to play the hard working guy who plays both ends over the guy who can actually make a difference but doesn’t try as hard. He’s an idiot.
Hahahahahahaha… biased… I mean because Sid Crosby whose vocally commented on his appreciation for Simon is if course not an issue. Don’t add the Ferland type tho, the one that would probably fill that because Dusty knows it’s a dud.., dumb fuckk
When has Sidney Crosby ever said anything bad about any teammate EVER? He’s not Ben Roethlisberger.
Funny, the public seems to be aware he isn’t the biggest fan of Hornqvist on his line…
Idiot with two cups. What are your accolades at your job? You know everyone hates you at Walmart.
Bylsma hated French Canadians… Pascal Dupuis was a nightly top line winger and Letang was stapled to the first line PP even when playing like dog shit…
Talbot played big minutes for the Pens in big games…
Despres was dogshit… that’s why he never got his chance. You’re fucken stooooopid
Right… I mean a healthy Malkin won’t impact the team at all.
I don’t know what you’ve been watching, but malkin is a -20.
And as we just found out likely playing hurt…
Scum sully is a liar. When he said letang will play less minutes this year not only he lied about that but He even had letang playing goalie
Shultz being out almost the entire season has nothing to do with it.
And your joke sucked.
Chubby was a ghost tonight. He must’ve ate a lot of hot dogs at his favourite Toronto hot dog stand
Brassard with the game winning assist vs Vegas. Lol.
Now you can drool again to have him back
Sam(e) is upset bc FLA beat his Fleury.
Man Simon has no vision and his passes are garbage. Thank God he plays with sid and makes him look decent.
Pens look slow, tired and out of sync.
They are missing malkin lol
Smartest thing you’ve said in awhile
Sprong another goal
He can’t produce on the 4th line with Derek Grant and Cullen, he stinks. Someday he’ll be as good as TK, Sheary and Simon. Bums that Zero and Scum Sully jerkk off to.
Change of scenery, you guys should try it.
Or playing with talent, something a lot of people said he should be doing…
Yup, teams watching in April is the desired impact, fucken moron
They are 1 point out of a playoff spot.
Also, why would a team’s success dictate whether or not 1 player is having a good year or not?
Three points back, teams ahead have played 1-2 less games…
People keep acting like Sprong wasn’t given a look. Did you need more than the preseason against nobodies or like a 10 game span while he shut down Crosby’s line?
Idiots like you and Sam bitch about Sheary and Simon.. Crosbys line scores with them on the ice. They contribute… Sprong never seemed to click… while Crosby was headed N-S Sprong goes E-W… that’s his entire fucken game and Crosby’s entire career he’s played his best with N-S wingers PERIOD!
All good, Sprongs found his niche on a team likely to miss the playoffs so, this is what these idiots are striving for lol
Next time they interview JJ ask him how the hell he got that contract?
What’s the magic number again
Sam, what’s the price on playoff tickets in Toronto? I’m trying to talk my buddy into going up there for a couple nights and go to a ECF game between the Pens and Leafs.
Depends Where you want to sit. Even if you sit all the way upstairs Toronto and Montreal tickets are expensive
Not like Arizona games 35$ tickets with hot dogs included. Here in Montreal just your parking is 30-35$
Any chance Pens play Arizona in the finals? Maybe they play Tampa in the ecf and they can PAY ME to go to the game.
Pens/AZ tickets aren’t cheap. Sam has never left his mom’s basement, so not quite sure why he’s trying to give advice.
Montreal playoff tickets! Hahahaha
Jez…. The Jets scored 6 goals on the Ducks in the first period.
Yeah brutal Gibson 6 goals on 14 shots
What a way to welcome Perry first game lol
That was ugly.
Yeah and scum Mathews celebrating as if it was a hard goal to score any clown could’ve scored that
Sparks Vs Murray. Battle of the backups goalies
Hey mstartari just keep your TV off tonight might be a long night for you
Zzzzzzz….another gem from Sam. Same shit from you everyday. Sad.
It is Groundhogs Day.
Ha! This is true!
Hahahaha good one Sam. +1 for you.
Sam’s bottom is here. Cute.
I miss the days when Simply Dusty was to busy to post because he was working. That was his best work on here.
4 posts on this thread all about me for you.
Zero flipping out in every post dissagreeing with everybody in every post, because to him, that makes a good message board!
I’ll give Stan and tbj credit, at least they come up with their own ideas, even if they are stupid.
NPL, he’s just a poor democrat, he doesn’t know any better.
Stan hasn’t been on here in at least a year. Sam calls anyone smarter than him Stan, which is everyone.
I disagree with you and Sam because I think you’re both dumb as fuckk. I converse with mstar, tbj, and ramrod, as clearly outlined in the posts, because you can actually have conversations with them… that and they also recognize you’re a stupid fuckk!
So like Sam we can add “can’t fucken read” to your resume
It’s pointless. Those two are so stupid and know very little about hockey.
Coming from a guy that turned off his TV when caps were beating pens 2-0. And then found out pens beat caps. Nice one mstartari. And your exact words were see you guys on Thursday
Yes I said that but continued to watch the game. I was correct they lost and they played Thursday. So what’s your point retard? Go bloww Dusty you pillow biter.
You whine like a little bitch about the same things on here. Get a new thing because this one is beat to death. You suck.
Ger Kunitz back.
Yes, give up a 1st and Rust for him.
Hey Stan. Maybe we can trade Crosby for him like you’ve been asking them to do for 3 years now. Then Sam can trade Malkin to LA and we’ll be set.
A: you really do think Stanch actually wanted to trade Sid and he wasn’t just countering sammiches dumb shitt comments about Malkin don’t you? B: you’re even dumber than I’ve given you credit for if you really believe ramrod is Stan… like they have zero in common posting.
It’s like how people still think Hockey 11 is Yoda despite yoda coming back… only Sam carries multiple account lol
Last I checked Stan and npl carries multiple accounts. I don’t carry multiple account I am a conservative / republican. I work for my money I don’t waste money on multiple accounts because I get from government welfare like those 2 bozos
Except you’re not a republican you stupid fucken moron because that’s a specific party organization in the US you fucken wannabe lol.
Haha he’s so dumb. That may be one of his top ten just due to the number of wrong statements. A. Neither of them carry multiple accounts. B. He isn’t American (thank God) C. He doesn’t work for his money. He’s too dumb to be employed and he’s on here 24/7. D. He does waste money on two accounts just so he can give himself a thumbs up. I like how he will post something and have a +5 ten seconds later, then try to call other people out for doing the same thing. What a stooge!
Who’s Stan? That’s Sam’s dumb joke. You are turning into Sam 2.0. Twice the retard.
Sam and Dusty have the same comic coach.
Simmonds, Zuccarello, Nyquist are all wingers I would rather have over Ferland. Give up the #1, and Rust or Maatta for Simmonds and get it done. Plus it makes Sam happy because we get a black guy back on the roster.
Agreed, this team needs to get older! Why give up the first for the younger kid that skates the way the team needs him to but also adds that physical element when they could get older and not bring the whole package Ferland seems to have?
I’m not against adding any one of those names but if that first moves and Ferland was still an option then it’s potentially going to be looked at as an error
Lol @SID4800 giving up a first round pick (in an organization with few prospects) AND a top 9 forward or top 4 defenseman, both with term and a reasonable cap hit, for a rental. It’s hard not to wonder if Sam and Dusty are related.
It’s like he’s blissfully unaware that Rust is quite valuable and that it’s a buyers market lol.
I know the Pens would be forced to move a roster guy for Ferland tho, I’m just not sure that 1st has to be in play but if it is I want a younger guy
I say let someone else overpay for him. The only rental I’d really like to make a push for is Duchene.
Ferland is overrated and will be a dud where ever he goes.
If you’re adding a guy over 3 mill, you have to move a guy for 3 mill.
If you say so it must be true…
I’ll wait for your selective stats to make whatever point you want.
Don’t need to, he scores, skates and fights… he’d be a decent addition to the team and an upgrade over many of the wingers on the team. You don’t need stats for that, you just need to not be a dumb fuckk so I can see why this is difficult for you
Assuming we’d actually have to overpay, I know the ask was high but the moment Panarin, Stone and Duchene hit the board that probably changed
Good game by the new boys they even made new friend with the penalty box guy. I’m sure malkin got jealous on that
Again, funny isn’t your thing.
The tears of Simply Dusty flowing in this thread.
Wtf?!!! The ‘Canes just had a game of duck duck goose at center ice after they beat Vegas.
10m and chubby can’t shoot the puck must be his triple chin
The guy with 2 assists and a plus 2. Go slurp the Vegas game.
90% Vegas lost games when it’s a backup playing
Ok.
Subban is 2-5…. Sam you ain’t much of a math guy hey…
How many TV’s are off by now
How many times does Sam(e) make the same “joke” every game?
Rust-Bjugsta-kessel … the anti Sam(e) line.
Teddy!
Our Russian is on his annual vacation mode. He will not play after playing his 1st best game of the season vs Tampax.
Don’t worry, after Stan trades Crosby, the cups will be rolling in.
As long as two time cup winner coach and the only one to do this since the early 90s expansion is still rolling lines
Shut up, bandwagon boy.
According to NHL.com… Evgeni Malkin will not play for the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Florida Panther at PPG Paints Arena on Friday. Malkin is day to day because of an upper-body injury, and also will not play against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday. The Penguins could have forwards Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann in the lineup. They were acquired in a trade with the Florida Panthers for forwards Derick Brassard and Riley Sheahan, a second-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft and two fourth-round picks in the 2019 draft. … The Penguins are playing the Ottawa… Read more »
Thanks stan
Sorry you are to slow as usual.
No Stan even previous article I posted about the Russian. Nice try chubby
Ok Stan. Go make some doughnuts.
rutherford should have thrown simon in on the deal to get him away from crosby.
Agree.
Only problem is, Sullivan will find the next WBS loser to put in a line with him that tries hard, but has no skill.
Whaaaaaaaaa…. only two points… boooooo fucken hoooooooo
I do like the idea of Ferland in the top 6 if GMJR can somehow avoid sending the 1st
What else will they give up?
Good question. Not sure what prospects/players would interest Carolina
Aside from TJ, none. There is nothing left in WBS that is not on any other AHL team.
Only few more years left as I said once Crosby era done this team will be bottom for 10 years. Because they never build the future while having Crosby. They wanted to win today it’s fine but they wanted a lot of picks during shero/JR time
Thanks Capt Obvious.
Lol he’s really going out on a limb seeing the team will perform worse with worse players.
4 max… four year of signing FAs and flipping them while stock piling picks… of all the guys left Sid retires a Pen… maybe, MAYBE Letang… the rest will move for picks in 5 or so years. You’re too dumb to think long term
Addison and Bjorkqvist
What void is he filling? I’m not sure I get the love affair with him. I hope you don’t think it replaces Simon, because only way Sullivan moves Simon is if he’s hurt.
.
So the kid that thinks Sullivan is a problem doesn’t think we could upgrade the wing with that skill set… I haven’t been more convinced they need Ferland
Sam never heard of either of these guys.
Bjugstad was a guy Pens were high on in the 2010 draft but settled on Bennett When the Panthers took him with the pick before the Pens
The Pens also tried to trade up for Tarasenko
Pearson – Bjugstad – Hornqvist could be a pretty solid 3rd line.
Nice
