MENTIONS "J'AIME"

ÉQUIPES VIA FAUTEUIL-DG

Forum: Armchair-GMil y a 5 heures

Sujet: Sell off

These look pretty bad for Calgary and Carolina IMO.
Sure, Calgary gets out of the Kadri deal. But they take on another defenseman when their blue line is already pretty crowded, and that's 6 years of retention on Kadri.
Teravainen and Necas are combined for 16 goals, 40 points on the year. Chinakov and Laine combine for 7 goals, 11 points. Carolina's a contender and they aren't going to give you a first to get worse.

I as a Pens fan will happily take Justin Danforth off your hands, though.

Sujet: I think this is fair

I've never been interested in aquiring Anderson. I don't really care about the "Hornqvist style" of play if he isn't effective. Right now, hitting is the only thing I really think he brings to the table that O'Connor and Zohorna aren't. There are players who can do what we want out of Anderson much better.

Forum: Fauteuil - DGmar. à 14 h 53

Sujet: Perry Weaver

I mean if the <em>Blackhawks</em> of all teams think what Perry did was egregious enough to get rid of him for nothing, why would any other team want him?

Forum: Armchair-GMlun. à 14 h 37

Sujet: Contender

I sincerely doubt Brandon Hagel is available, even if we pay the price that Tampa did.
Besides, the Pens don't need a huge shakeup at the top of the lineup, we need to add to our depth and figure out our Power Play.

Sujet: Offseason

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>I’d do that trade but we’d have to move Rakell</div></div>

I'm going to disagree with you. I don't want anything to do with Anderson. He's made a career off of being good for about 20 goals and 150+ hits, but not much else. And right now, he's not doing the more impactful of those two things.
Anderson never really had a good 200ft game and has pretty bad underlying numbers this year. Rakell's analytics and eye test this season both look better than a player with only 4 points.
IMO, Rakell has a higher ceiling than Anderson at this point in their careers, and is far more likely to return to it.

Sujet: San Jose

Eller has been one of Pittsburgh's better depth pieces since Harkins was no longer on his wing. He's not a cap dump and he's not being bought out.

Forum: Armchair-GM21 nov. à 8 h 32

Sujet: Dubas

I don't like the odds of any of these happening.
Rakell has still been playing well even if the points haven't been there. He's been a positive impact defensively, which I don't think has ever been said about Kane. When Rakell starts scoring, he'll be a lot more impactful than Kane is. Besides, the Pens already lead the NHL in 5v5 xGoals/60, we already have players who do what Kane does.
SJS is getting very little for one of their only decent players, and is using up a retention slot to do it. They have no incentive to do that.
CBJ isn't trading their captain to a divisional rival, and neither they or Carter are interested in a reunion.

Forum: Armchair-GM20 nov. à 10 h 21

Sujet: willy and cup next year

I don't think this team is going to get anywhere near a cup.
The chances of Pickering being NHL ready are low, and I think Tanev would get better offers elsewhere. We need to figure out our bottom pairing, but it won't look like that.
Forward depth is still also a major issue. DOC-Eller-Zohorna has looked really good so far, but I cannot consider them to be the 3rd line of a contender.
Ned's looked good, but he's looked good in 3 NHL games and an AHL game. As it stands, he's something of a reclamation project. Can he handle a starter's workload? Can we expect Blomqvist to pick up the slack? Jarry's biggest issue is a lack of consistency, and I don't think Nedeljkovic and Blomqvist come close to solving that.

Sujet: Edmonton

Pettersson is too valuable for the Pens. He's our best LHD, our best defensive defenseman, and the perfect partner for Karlsson. He's not going anywhere.

Forum: Armchair-GM19 nov. à 13 h 49

Sujet: Needs improvement

Dude these trades need a lot more improvement than the Pens do.

Forum: Armchair-GM17 nov. à 21 h 13

Sujet: tdl frenzy

I don't think the Pens do that. They don't have the room for Savard without retention, and given his recent injury issues and their effect on his play, I doubt he'd get Montreal 2 2nds with retention.
Now, if the Habs didn't see one of the younger guys as significant part of their future, I'd be interested.

Forum: Armchair-GM17 nov. à 19 h 2

Sujet: What Id like to see TDL

I honestly think a lot of these would be a stretch. I think one of Zadorov or Carrier fits what the Pens need the most: reliable 3rd-pairing defense and penalty killing.
For Goligoski and Savard, I have concerns over their age, durability, and recent play to really be better than what we're currently working with.
I also wouldn't be surprised if Anaheim isn't all that interested in moving on from Max Jones.
Then out of the 4 vets on the forward front, Zucker is the obvious favorite, but I'd love a shooter like Eberle on the wing for one of Sid or Geno.

The Hakanpaa trade isn't bad. Can't say the same for the others.

Bait used to be believable.

Forum: Armchair-GM17 nov. à 10 h 22

Sujet: calgary rebuildretool

I don't like this from a Pens perspective. O'Connor's underlying numbers are better than Dube's, even relative to teammates. The scoring might not be there, but he's been the better player defensively.
There definitely is not a 2nd+ of difference in value between Dube and O'Connor.

Forum: Armchair-GM16 nov. à 11 h 17

Sujet: Sell and rebuildretool

Pettersson for Hanifin doesn't work. Pettersson is the Pens' best defensive defenseman and the perfect D-partner for EK65. Hanifin skews more offensively, and we already have Karlsson and Letang for that.
Pens shouldn't consider the offer even without adding Pickering or the 1st.

Forum: Armchair-GM16 nov. à 11 h 8

Sujet: Sellers

Ignoring the giant "Stop sending Vladar to Pittsburgh" argument, I don't think Calgary can get 2 3rds back for him, even with retention.
Per Evolving-Hockey, his -4.59 GSAx so far this season is 6th worst in the league and his .858 SV% is 4th worst, and his stats last season weren't much better.
Considering his poor results in Calgary and Wolf either NHL ready or very close to it, I don't think Vladar has much value right now.

Forum: Armchair-GM15 nov. à 11 h 6

Sujet: Cap maneuvering at the deadline

Sunqvist never worked out in Pittsburgh. I'm not sure why people think that'll change.
Eller's been great in November. I'm not doing him for Boyd 1-for-1 right now, let alone also giving Arizona our top defensive prospect for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hkyty88</b></div><div>the point wasnt really for the trade saying is there ever a possibilty he ever goes to edmonton</div></div>

Probably should be specified in the post. And I doubt EK65 ends up in Edmonton.

Something tells me that NYR trade is going to make a lot of Rags fans mad at you.
Not a fan of the Flames trade. I don't think Sharangovich and Zadorov are worth a 1st.

Why would there be a possibility here?

Forum: Armchair-GM13 nov. à 18 h 48

Sujet: Trades that should be made

I'm not interested in Beauvillier. I get that Rakell can't buy a goal to save his life right now, but his underlying numbers are significantly better than Beau's.
Beauvillier has an xG% of 44.1% at 5v5, he and his linemates are being buoyed by a .988 SV% when he's on the ice. Rakell's xG% is 61.42.
And I know that's not a perfect comparison since Vancouver still has an absurd PDO so they can succeed when the team collectively has a pretty unremarkable xG%, but Beauvillier's relative stats are mostly in the red, per evolving-hockey. Meanwhile, Rakell's are more positive than negative.
Rakell's defense and playdriving are still good, even if the points aren't coming, and he's bound for positive regression. Beavillier not so much on a team bound for some negative regression.

Sujet: A few moves

The Colorado trade doesn't work for either team. Aves can't take the cap hit, Pens' return is a joke.
Novak is a good player, but I don't think he's a 1st+ return caliber player.
Boqvist doesn't do much good for us. I still think he has solid upside, but he's struggled with injuries and he's a liability defensively. What the Pens need in a RD3 is reliable defense and PKing, and Boqvist could not be further from that.

Forum: Armchair-GM12 nov. à 17 h 53

Sujet: What new contracts would look like

I don't really think Carter or Joseph are going to stick around. I'd rather that POJ does, he easily has the highest upside of our 3rd pairing options, but if he isn't getting playtime than he's better off elsewhere. Besides, with the increasing cap, we can probably find a RD3 upgrade in free agency.

The only people with actual raises here are Guentzel and Smith, which is not realistic. Pettersson's contract is especially egregious. He's a true top pairing defenseman and his asking price is probably 2 to 3 million more than this on a long-term deal.

Forum: Armchair-GM12 nov. à 12 h 2

Sujet: Next year

None of those defensemen come anywhere close to the impact of Pettersson. That's awful LHD depth and no RHD that I would want on a top PK unit. The blue line is completely unbalanced.
The returns for Rakell and Pettersson are both awful. Raks hasn't been scoring well yet, but he's been pretty positive defensively and it's only a matter of time before he finds his mojo. Pettersson is our best defensive defenseman and IMO a better fit for the top pairing workload than Graves.
Bertuzzi will probably get better offers. He's another case like Rakell where it looks to me like you're looking at a single rough stretch for them and deciding that it tanks their value massively.
