Ok, you win. That is by far the most ridiculous Rielly to the Pens trade yet. Rielly is not gold and that is a massive overpayment for Rielly. Pens are not ripping down their top six for that.

Pens keep Rust over Rielly 10 out of 10 times.

One year of a decent LD is NOT going to get you guys all these whacky returns you keep posting.

give me 1 good reason as to why any ufa like coleman or staal signs in toronto? because they're from toronto? leafs haven't won a round in almost 2 decades. why would a ufa want to ruin his career there? go ask marleau, thornton, simmonds etc how great toronto is for ufa's.

But but... everyone wants to play for toronto and take discounts to be there!

This thread is a clear example of how leafs fans don't get it.

What do the Pens not need? Left-handed defensemen.
Why? They have nearly $14M tied up in FIVE of them.

What do you the Pens currently need? A top-six/middle-six winger.

What do you leafs fans do? Trade the Pens 2nd best top-six winger for a position they have five of. Not to mention Rust is maybe, if not the, best value first line winger in the league. $3.5M for what he produces is insane.

Good job.

Brodie and Dougie have horrible chemistry, Coleman laughs at that contract offer

Pens wouldn't do this

Oh, how come?

Do you really want to hate on the Leafs? There is a community for that.

The crappy Pens need a Top 2 LD.

Wrong. You clearly don't know what the Pens need, so stop. You're just making yourself look foolish.

And who are you? Their GM? lol

calgary...

some things are common sense bud. do the leafs need an elite top 6 center? they don't right? its common sense. pens don't need left shot D., they need forwards.

Do you know the difference between a need and want?

I mean, hey, I want OEL but guess what? The Pens don't have the roster or cap space for him.

Thank you, sir. This keeps alluding these guys. Like how can they not just take a look at our capfriendly roster and see what holes we have to fill?

If the pens are a crappy team, what does that make the leafs?

Even worse. lol

They played together and Calgary and were awful together

Coleman gets at least 4.5 on the market, maybe 5 if they repeat

Exactly. Keep that overrated dman in Canada. He isn't needed in pittsburgh

These guys all think Rielly is the second coming and every team (mainly the Pens) they trade him to pays a king's ransom for one year of his services.

If he's that good they need to keep him.

Swith Coleman and Rust (Coleman to 3RW, Rust to 2LW)
