<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stanley_Cup_To_Manhattan</b></div><div>Carey Price hasn't been elite. The defense has been solid and he's been playing balanced for a change. Penguins look as deflated as a balloon. All those top guns are gun-shy all the sudden eh? Where's that playoff Guentzel? Zucker? Crosby? Malkin? Rust? how about that solid PK unit? all look super shot. It couldn't be more obvious and knowing you guys will have our number for another decade because of this Bettman-Pittsburgh relationship pisses me right off.</div></div>

Come on, give Price credit. He is playing a great series. Guentzel has 2 points in 3 games. Zucker has 2 goals. Crosby has 3 points and 2 goals. Rust has 3 points. Malkin has been invisible on the goal sheet. The pk unit is 10/10, so I dont know why you brought that up. Like I said, they have no depth. The top 6 could only do so much. The issue is their 3rd line being a no show all year. It has been an issue all year. Idk how you can say its all being rigged for pittsburgh when they have huge flaws all year

Sujet: LEAFS DEFENSE CORE GETTING SOME RESPECT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>CBJ certainly isn't an offensive powerhouse. True test will be if you get to a better offensive team.</div></div>

Yup, riding the Leafland roller coaster has to be friggin' exhausting :tearsofjoy

Game one, it's "GET RID OF CECI!" "ANDERSEN IS OVERRATED! TRADE HIM TO CALGARY! HE'S NOT CLUTCH!"
Game two, it's "Dermott, Holl and Ceci really proving their true values to the non-believers."

CBJ is a trap based team, similar to the old NJ and Minnesota teams that just suffocated teams, and were constantly in 1-2 goal games. They're going to get about 20-25 shots a night, because they're only sending 1-2 forwards deep every shift. Not overly hard to defend, just have to make sure you're not the team that gives up the big play.

Sujet: Boston Bruins signed Anders Bjork (3 Years / $1,600,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>I said Bjork has top6 potential and no, there's no issue playing him in the top6; he just needs more production (points-wise) otherwise he's a complete player.

Engvall plays on the 4th line as I said. Bjork plays on the third line, played more (and more vs elite than Engvall). It's close so I'm not giving the complete edge to one or other (if I look at advanced stats like you said). Even if Engvall did have better stats this year, it will soon change ;)</div></div>

I said this contract is fair using Engvall as a comparable... You disagreed.

Now you're saying they are "close".

Don't really understand what you're disagreeing about... Both guys have fair deals.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>problem with that logic is that the prospects that came in helped more than the players they traded for... id say Kessel might be the exception. either way 25 is older and to have a younger goalie come in once his new deal is up would be ideal. look at the penguins best forwards... they are all home grown talent. top 4 Rust Guentzel MAlkin Crosby all vote by advanced stat guys as "elite" all home grown.

2018 1st round pick( K'Andre Miller) or Brassard..... you could have argued that they were better off and K'Andre Miller is a high end prospect
2017 1st round pick (Klim Kostin )AND Oskar Sundqvist penguins got Reeves and 2nd round pick ( Zachary Lauzon )
2016 1st round pick (Sam Steel) for Kessel (Great trade imo) KEssel so far has been the only X factor that they traded for
1st round pick (Mathew Barzal) for David Perron

id say keeping your draft picks works out better than trading them...... look at the results</div></div>

The results were cups in 16 and 17... Pens don't have high end prospects but they also aren't looking for a 1C anytime soon. That 'Barzal' pick move resulted in Hagelin, who was a key piece of both runs. The Pens are reliant on their prospects for middle 6 depth, defensemen, and goalies and they've had no problem producing each of those consistently without the top end picks
