Sujet: DubASS SHOULD BE FIRED
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Worst Take in NHL history lul

Dubas as GM has done so much good for this team


Traded for Muzzin improving the defense
Traded for Campbell who know is the starter
Got rid of the Zaitsev and Marleau contracts that LOU signed
Got rid of Johnsson without a sweetener or retention and got a nice defensive prospect in Anderson whose on a cheap 750k deal
Got a good return for Kapenan and now we got Amirov
Brought in Brodie, Tavares, Spezza among others
Drafted Sandin, Robertson, Niemela, Hirovinen among others and made our prospect pool go from **** top being between 10-15th in the NHL.

So yeah worst GM ever my ass lul</div></div>

And what does he have to show for all that ? We haven’t won ANYTHING!!!!! 1st and a 4th for Foligno what about the kadri trade ? And overpaying the core horribly. If you need a Gm that will ensure you get bounced in the first round in heartbreaking fashion hes you’re guy. Giving up assets to protect a team that blew a 3-1 like ffs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DogDayCaps2</b></div><div>Like Crosby being a crybaby? He’s absolutely soft? Throw tantrums to get coaches fired? How about Malkin being lazy? Taking seasons off not giving 100%? Lol Kuzy got COVID 2x and was late to 1 meeting in his career in Washington? 7 nhl teams had massive covid outbreaks. Tampa had a party to watch the super bowl in a hotel conference room lol. so they have attitude issues? People love to make a minor issue or comment into these monster size issues. Like Kuzy attitude issue. Sheep believe anything</div></div>

I mean he’s suspended from international play due to all of his coke usage. Bringing that to a locker room full of kids in a city with a massive night life presence is just asking for trouble. Hard pass

Wild aren't trading Joel Eriksson Ek for Kuznetsov.

Like so so laughable. To think wild would trade a 2way stud like Joel Eriksson Ek for a trouble player is laughable and comical


To think wild would even add s even more laughable

Joel Eriksson Ek is untouchable &amp; going nowhere

Minnesota doesn't have to gamble? You mean a player who has / was suspended from international play for steroids?

Player who was caught on tape using crack?

Player who was suspended this year for not following covid protocols ?

Same player Washington wants to trade because he missed 2 months with not following covid protocols, &amp; got sick with covid?

1st time: missed 1 month
2nd time in covid protocols: missed covid protocols including missing playoff game

You aren't living in facing reality. He's not worth Jack squat especially Joel Eriksson Ek

Same player Kuznetsov who went from 72 points to 52 points to 29 this year?

Yeah no thanks. Wild aren't dumb

Joel Eriksson Ek is untouchable and going nowhere</div></div>

Dang mate, have a coffee or something

Dude you’re digging yourself into a hole again…

If you just admit that you were unaware of the retention, then no problem. But you’re dying on this hill that pens overpaid and Carter was washed up and those two statements are so wrong. Even on LA he was on pace for nearly 20 goals and 40 points playing with zero help. That type of production for a 3rd and 4th at 2.5 million is good value lol

It was a terrible trade at the time. It's worked out in the early days thus far no doubt, but this wasn't a good deal.</div></div>

A terrible trade? He was on pace for nearly 40 points and 20 goals on a terrible kings trade, and pens only gave up a third for 50% retention. It was a great deal for pit. You were wrong, and you won’t own up to it. Even if Carter **didn’t** work out in pit, all we gave up was a 3rd round pick. That’s far from the “worst” trade at deadline lol. Even if he stunk (which he absolutely hasn’t), it’s still not that bad of a trade since the cost was so low

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>Take what back? He was terrible analytically (so was Staal) and is playing on the 2nd line with McCann and Kapanen. There's nothing to take back.</div></div>

He’s playing on a second line with Zucker and McCann, and that line is dominating possession / scoring chances when they are on the ice. His analytics were not terrible on LA, (but they weren’t great either) and his most frequent line mates was like AA.

You called the Carter trade a “terrible trade” and “the worst of the deadline”. Meanwhile he’s fit like a glove on pit and has given us the opportunity to run a really strong 3rd line when healthy. Your take couldn’t have been more wrong.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I watch them both and heres the thing. Pet is only 24, Doumelin is 29. Pet has had multiple 20 point seasons with the penguins, Doumelin had one 3 years ago.

Keeping an aging Dman who has been injury prone these last 2 seasons in order to lose a younger Dman who has shown he can play top 4 and has chemistry with Marino is pure insanity. Dumoulin only has 2 years left, Petterson has 3 and will be 27 at the deals end.

Would rather go younger than keep an aging guy as the penguins need to start the process of rebuilding soon as Crosby and Malkin aint getting any younger.</div></div>

So using that same logic, would you also protect Blueger over Malkin

Dumo is a way better player and Pens are in win now mode, so losing Dumo makes zero sense

Sujet: Strome
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div>Strome is a spare part...</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brgh4life</b></div><div>Huge pass for the Pens. Strome might be slightly better offensively but he is nothing defensively. Not worth the extra assets</div></div>

Exactly. Not sure why hawks rate their guy so much who is hardly a top 6C on the hawks, who probably have the worst Centre’s in the NHL this year. Strome and McCann are similar in value and production, with Strome having more offensive talent, but a total train wreck defensively. Over the last 2 seasons:

McCann 0.54PPG
Strome: 0.59PPG

Strome’s first year in Chicago really distorted his value, but he won’t do that again. He’s come back down to reality
