Sujet: Who should be on the 3rd
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Marcsnack</b></div><div>I am okay with swapping Puustinen and Rakell, maybe even putting Rust on the 3rd because I know he could carry that line. If I am being honest, I would wanna give someone else a shot over DOC. He shows glimpses, but is just inconsistent.</div></div>

He’s cheap, eager, pretty fast, and his energy and forechecking are valuable, especially to our team. The intensity that he brings is not as easy to come by as one may think, and is a role that we need on our old roster. He would be a great complimentary player to an Eller and Rakell. I’d rather just have what DOC brings for free than spend what little assets we have for a player that may be a slight upgrade in skill while lacking intensity and disruptive intangibles, especially if they’re a rental.

We’re not really in the position to do so in the first place. If we were cemented in a Metro playoff seed then maybe I could be convinced otherwise, but we need to just get healthy. Once we are, I think we will be good upfront if Puustinen continues to play well.

If come deadline time we’re in the mix and Puustinen falls off or we’re injured then, for the right price, we explore options, but I really believe that we will be fine up front as long as Puustinen continues to be impactful.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Pits need to sell. If Crosby and Malkin agree to waive. And if they decide to retain 50% on Karlsson. Pits could get ALOT and set themselves up very nicely for the future.</div></div>

<strong>Act your age, not your shoe size. </strong>
Just stop. This is insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>edeangel84</b></div><div>The core aren’t going anywhere. That’s what I can basically guarantee you. Geno had his chance to walk away but it was clear Sid wanted him and Tanger back. They’re 90% likely to all retire here. The best player for us to trade is Jake. He is in the right place in his career to be dealt and get us some futures back. I could see MP going too while his value is still good.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>Sid Geno and Tanger go no where, they want to finish their careers together. If the team really turns south they still get to play together, help build the next group. They've had more success together than 99% of NHL players ever will have. They stay.

Not to mention people who act like they'd garnish a huge return at this stage of their careers are crazy. Crosby for sure still gets a 1st in his deal, not sure about the others. Would need to be retention on part of the penguins.</div></div>

PERIOD. END OF DISCUSSION LOL :tearsofjoy why do people keep saying we should trade these guys???

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>I will not tolerate Zohorna slander haha.

In all seriousness though - he's definitely NHL caliber. Even if it is 4th line. He's proven himself worthy of that at least. Especially if it's for basically league min</div></div>

100% agree, he had a nice few games but when 5'9" Puusty plays with more grit than 6'7" Zohorna......it's time to get rid of Big-Z

Sujet: Fixing the PP
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>Oh okay - I must've completely misread the tone of your post then haha. I thought you listed those numbers to say he just isn't a good player. My bad. Looks like he was around mid to high 30% range for ozone starts last year. Unless I'm reading the stats wrong on Natural Stat Trick, it looks like he's somehow better with Carter than without. Although I still agree it would be better for anybody to not be playing with Carter.

Yeah I have no issues with trading him like you did to free up necessary space. I do think he brings something to the team though - a bit Tanevish like you mentioned.</div></div>

I was overly critical in my previous post. When I looked up his stats without Carter, he looked much more Tanev like. I jumped to a conclusion without looking at his most common linemates. You were right and I was wrong.

As for the Zone starts, I'm seeing (O, Neutral, D, Fly):
4%, 14%, 27%, 55% for this year and
6%, 17%, 11%, 66% for last year
Those numbers are 5v5.

He is being deployed poorly. He needs to be moved from Carter and put with guys he can run with and hit somebody.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>I'm not saying Acciari is great or invaluable to this team - but anyone with a 13.1% ozone start percentage is going to have some pretty terrible advanced numbers to be fair. The PK has clearly been worse without him. There is a place for 4th liners who hit, block, and play well on the PK. He's been fine for what his job is - maybe a little overpaid. Not setting the world on fire, but definitely not dead weight and the numbers are more of a more deployment than system issue imo</div></div>

I completely agree. His numbers last year are light years better than this year with the same amount of OZone starts. He needs to be away from Carter and put with guys who can muck it up with him.

I think he is a Tanev type and has a place on this team. He just needs to either be put with better linemates or traded. In this scenario it was traded to get 1MM in cap space.

Sujet: Can Dubas spark this team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pens1991</b></div><div>Yeah, the reaves signing is working wonders.

Klingberg is having a stellar year, Bert and Kampf burning the roof down.

The leafs problem is that they have four franchise players that can't win anything. Doesn't seem like a Dubas problem...

glad you just ignored the Shany comment, pretty normal from Leafs nation.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>The team being where it is isn't even remotely because of Dubas though. And I'm pretty sure the smallest acquisition he made is still bigger than what you mentioned haha - so this comment is just all around nonsense.</div></div>

wondering whether that acct is a delusional leafs fanboy or <em>IF IT'S ACTUALLY BRAD TRELIVING HIMSELF ?!?!?!</em>

Sujet: Third Pair Upgrade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Gardoki</b></div><div>Personally, I don't think the Pens need a major upgrade on the third pair. The beauty of their current top-four is they have the ability to play big minutes and our third pair has been good enough. Great? No, but good enough. If they pick up an upgrade, it wouldn't be anything significant.

I think the real focus is finding one more scoring winger for the third pair. I love DOC, but if he keep playing the game of "almost" we're gonna need to address that.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>I'm not against an upgrade - just curious if they can fit it under the cap. Honestly idk why they don't just go back to POJ/Ruhwedel. They played 3 great games and then 1 bad one and we acted like it was the worst pairing of all time lol. We love our xGF%, but for some reason when it comes to their 66% we just ignore it. They had one of the lowest xGA/60 in the league as well.

I know it's not a large sample size, but based on the numbers it seemed like they had way too short of a leash with that pair.</div></div>

I think we need a net front presence for the third pair. Doesn't need to be anything crazy, but just someone who can protect our net better. POJ and Ruhwedle are fine, but I just think that is what the team is missing most so it's more about what type of player we need than them being bad. Peeke is good, Hakanpaa would be good too. Also think we consider moving Rakell. Like him a lot but if we could get two players that cost around 2.5, one for third line and one for top two lines I think that gives us way more depth.
