And where is Dupuis to tell Malkin:

If he doesn't like Kessel on his line.

Rossi is Portzline level at making shit up and stirring the pot for clicks.

But that is a hilarious story whether true or not.

Oh it’s true, I’m in there a few times a week (the casino) and I’ve seen him in there a ton. And a few dealers told me months ago Sullivan called in Jake and told him to lay off the craps table. Jake’s solution was driving down to the casino in Washington PA. Lol

Phil Kessel, Dane Birks and a 2021 4th round pick go to the Phoenix Coyotes for Alex Galchenyuk & defenseman
Pierre-Oliver Joseph.

How good is Joseph? I see Arizona took him in the first round a few years ago and he is only 19, but can't find much else about him

I know gambling addiction can be a problem, but these guys are adults and professionals, and if they're playing fine, I don't see why the team or coaches see it as their place to tell guys what they can and can't do in their free time.

Like if they're showing up to games groggy and hung over because of their habits, or they're getting in deep with gambling debt, okay. But they have plenty of disposable income, and if they enjoy playing cards, let them. Stop treating 22+ year olds like they're kids to be curfewed.

I really don't know much about his either just reading:

Good skater, vision and IQ. Was the captain of his junior team the last few seasons. Probably will project more as an elite shut down defender than being an offensive D-man.

Weaknesses: Still very slender at 6'2" 168 LBS, needs to get stronger to win more puck battles, needs more strength to gain more power on his shot.

^ Also regarding that same draft:

'No regrets' for Penguins prospect Zachary Lauzon, who's just happy to be back on the ice

It was rumored that the Penguins wanted Joseph at that pick but then moved it in the Sundqvist/Reaves trade after the Yotes took him. Then settled on Lauzon in the rd2. It would be nice if Lauzon gets a contract with the Penguins and both work out.

Oh my god...Kessel is gone!!! Yes!!!!

Now if they can move Letang...It would make my summer!!!

 

[scoutyjones2]

Fuck yeah!!! Tanev!!!

 

[thedddd]

Fuck yeah!!! Tanev!!!

Do you really like him that much? Six years for a bottom 6 forward seems steep to me.
Trust me I want to be proven wrong but not sure I get this one.

 

[Markwassillylaugher]

From my view, it seems that the Tanev signing is getting 92% negative feedback.
I still think he can be in more games than Maatta.

By comparison, Richard Nixon had a 25% approval rating at the time of his resignation.

Honestly I don't know much about him as a player. I just don't understand why give a bottom 6 forward a six year deal. That seems pretty long for a replaceable part, unless there is something i don't see and he plays on Malkin's wing great?

Also they now need money to tender Blueger, ZAR and Pettersson not sure how that will get done.

Bad trade confirmed.

Who can forget Joe Mullen???

This is probably the best post I'm going to read all day.

Penguins Re-Sign Forward Zach Aston-Reese to a Two-Year Contract

Good deal for both.
Now with Pettersson will be interested what offer he will get. They have Trotman against the cap right now but he will be in the AHL and most likely Simon is gone.
