<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyTownUSA69</b></div><div>I read that too.

Go down to the part about Boston and you can click on the link. But it says right In the description. “Bruins are back on the trade market, and may be using their top D prospect as Bait”.

<a href="https://pittsburghhockeynow.com/dans-daily-pittsburgh-penguins-sam-poulin-nhl-players-angry-owners-offer/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://pittsburghhockeynow.com/dans-daily-pittsburgh-penguins-sam-poulin-nhl-players-angry-owners-offer/</a></div></div>

Again not by anyonne reputable. The article about BOS was written by Joe HACKerty. The guy has as much credibility as Eklund. BHN is also the same place that Jimmy Murphy writes for. Murphy himself is also considered a hack, which goes to show the quality of "writers" the site has.

Sujet: How to turn this team into a contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KINGS67</b></div><div>No thanks. Gotta live with your GMs mistake... and I’m glad the kings have a horrible D. Top 5 pick (one of the great D prospects) next year and in a year or two contend.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SevenLeg</b></div><div>Even then, I doubt they do pick him unless they get a sweetener. Just like if Justin Faulk bounces back. Those kind of contracts are just too big.</div></div>

people said the same thing about Gudbranson, he's been moved twice now.

There is talent there, there is always a need for defense. This is an easier to move contract that people think.
He's a top 4 D man, His salary isn't bad for that and the term could be viewed as a good thing given that and the raising costs that will eventually be coming with a new TV deal.

Not saying LA is the right team for that, but they will be able to move him next year.

Sujet: What if we had this team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyTownUSA69</b></div><div>We’ll see how Kappy works out in Pittsburgh playing with Crosby and Guentzel. His speed fits that line nicely!! Remember what happened the last time the leafs traded a super fast player that was alittle bit of an a*s to Pittsburgh. He ended up eating hot dogs out of the Stanley Cup!! I wouldn’t be so quick on that Take just yet. It could age very poorly!!</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>I love how leafs fans love to dismiss kaps importance to their team now that he’s gone. I can’t wait till he rips 30 next year with Sid and you all look like fools</div></div>

yeah but kappy didn't lead his team in scoring for 6 years straight

if Kapanen scores 30 idc because we got good return for him, and he was never getting that chance with the leafs

he played an entire season with Matthews/Marleau and only mustered 20 goals and 24 assists - like idk where he's suddenly getting 40 goals with crosby lmfao

we tried him with Tavares and MARNER for god's sake, this year and it was SO bad he absolutely killed the entire line and had to be relegated to 3rd line duty where he scored at like a 15 goal 40 point pace and was a ghost in the playoffs with a first and secondary assist (2 points)

he's also pretty bad defensively, so, have fun guys, I hope it works out but goddamn idk lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyTownUSA69</b></div><div>The bottom 6 and top 6 arnt interchangeably very often. Accept injury. You do interchange top 6 forwards all the time. During the game, they play and switch playing with each other throughout most of the game. The top 2 lines are out there with a lot of combos usually. Same with the bottom 6. No coach I know, puts a 3rd line player onto the 1st or 2nd line during a game. Maybe if it’s an injury. Or he is playing well. Or someone is playing bad and u to move him down. But you most always wait till the next game and start him out playing in the top 6 pairings. Accept injury.

Like I said, Top 6 and bottom 6. Stick to that man. You’ll sound like you know what your talking about!! Why so mad?? Cause I said u sound dumb?? Lol. Sorry bud!! I’m just trying to help man!! Good luck!! Keep using that term!! Middle 6 winger..lol.</div></div>

My god you should run for office you are so confident everyone is wrong and your right no matter what they show you! I give up. You can’t discuss things with people who refuse to accept they might be wrong.

Sujet: FIXING this SOFT Team and The HUGE holes at - 3C- Top 9 RW- 1B Goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyTownUSA69</b></div><div>So did I. The whole Calgary team was bad. Good thing you’re not the GM or coach. Cause both JR and Sully see him as a 3rd line Center. And he was Replaced by Dereck Ryan last year in the play-offs. He’s a Center!!

And I’m excited to see what Jankowski does with the Pens and as our 3rd line Center. Most Pens fans are sleeping on him, IMO. Both JR and Sully are happy opening the season with him being our 3rd line Center too.

Janko is 26, 1st round pedigree, proven good two-way center and top PK player. He had 17 goals and 25 points his 1st year and 14 goals and 32 points his 2nd. Yes, last year he sh*t the bed. But it’s an easy year to write off IMO(for everyone..lol) and look at Sam Bennet’s stats. And look at last year compared to his first 3 or 4. It wasn’t just Janko last year. It was the whole Calgary team. Look at even Monahan and C.Tierney stats. But look at Bennett’s and Janko’s and you will see, it was the whole team.

Imagine if last year, he improved or just stayed the same statistically. He would’ve been a sought after free agent. The narrative would be completely different. A recent 1st round pick, coming off his E-L contract and 1st team, has had 3 decent years, ready for his 4th year and break-out year. Now, it’s a “show me” contract. Show-me last year wasn’t a fluke and you can get back to producing like your 1st two years. And maybe Calgary just mis used him. It’s only his 4th year, only 26 and Pens are his 2nd team.

I wish I had the faith u did in Janko but he was replaced by Lucic as 4th line Center after the 3rd or 4th playoff game, then only played 6 min of TOI the 5th playoff game and then was Healthy scratched for the next 5 Playoff games for Zac Rinaldo.

So he was replaced by Lucic as a Center by a LWer then replaced in the line-up by an AHLer.... LMAO

BTW- C. Tierney plays for Ottawa

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyTownUSA69</b></div><div>What’s a middle 6 winger?? I never heard anyone say that b4?? It must be west coast hockey slang. Bottom 6 or top 6 right?? What would middle 6 be?? The 2nd and 3rd line?? That makes no sense? It’s not basketball or baseball. The top 6 forwards are pretty much interchangeable. I don’t know what a middle six is, but either way, I don’t think M.Sorensen is one!!</div></div>

You seriously never heard middle six before? It’s players who aren’t quite top line guys and far from 4th line skaters players who will jump between the 2nd and 3rd lines, think Labanc or rust, Kapanen, Strome, Johnson etc. if they are on your first line your team struggles 2ndk line they are good 3rd line you team is killing it!
Sorenson is a bottom 6 guy with middle 6 potential! But I get what your saying and your making a fair point.

Sujet: My how far team no one is beating it GL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyTownUSA69</b></div><div>No thanks. Jarry is a 25 year old, all-star goalie. Had better numbers than Binnington last year and the Blues had a better defense.

And Acciari has had Selke votes the last two years. And is tough. A perfect 4th liner IMO. Great defense.

I went and looked for cheaper 3rd pairing D. I found A.Pelech instead of Will Butcher. Saves about 2M. And DeMelo instead of K.Shattenkirk saves about 900k. It let me afford J.Gibson instead of T.Jarry at goalie. I’ll agree that is a big enough of an upgrade..lol.

It would be so much easier just to throw in C.Makar, or Q.Hughes or R.Dahlin or M.Heistanen or even A.Fox or J.Marino or M.Roy. Just one E-L contract on Defense would be a huge help.</div></div>

Matt roy isn't on an ELC
