Helping great teams

Isles can make better use of those assets. Chiarot isn't even the type of LD we need.

I don't think they're good enough to make the Playoffs anyway. They're out of the playoffs presently. Greene and Chara are too old.

So they give up a 2nd and good d prospect for what then exactly?

To get into the playoffs and sign Chiarot immediately. Just like when they acquired JG Pageau

I would want the Pens to take that run. But I hate the under 5’10, midget hockey players. Even the ones feisty defensively like Gallagher. And 6 years of Gallagher at 6.5M. Ouch.

And Matheson’s contract and term is tough for a 2nd/3rd pairing LHD too But he still scores and is good offensively. Look at his stats. He got that contract for a reason. And he is fast as hell. Faster skater on the Pens.

He’s just suspect defensively. Makes too many defensive mistakes in his own end and joins the rush way too much. Leaves the other D-man and goalie out to dry.

He needs to be paired with a stay at home D-man all the time. It’s why him and Marino didn’t work out great. And why Pettersson/Marino does work. And why Matheson/Ceci worked.
