Sujet: Pens trade ANA and Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LetsGoPens69</b></div><div>Pens don’t have a 3rd and it’s cool u know who Puustinen is. I hope they don’t trade him. He’s a good wing prospect. Which the Pens don’t have many in their system.

Ya, Riikola came over from Europe as a top European D-Man FA signing 2 years ago.

Has played well in limited games(not limited minutes, plays 16-20 minutes a game when he plays) getting used to the smaller rink in America. Finland has a huge ice surface. Takes D awhile to get accustomed to it and some never get it. Riikola has.

The Pens rewarded him this offseason with that contract. He’s a great 7th-8th defender on a play-off team. And a 3rd pairing D, potential 2nd pairing on a lot of NHL teams. Plays both LHD/RHD equally well. He tough, and a wicked shot.

I’m a fan, and if he gets traded so will the fans of the team he goes too.

He’s not just like a Depth D-man. Everyone; announcers, beat-writers, fans, call for him to get more playing time.

He’s not just like, “a guy”. A D-man that comes up and down and plugged into the 3rd pairing and takes acouple games while a player is injured.

There is usually no drop off from him coming into the line-up and when he plays. He shows he belongs and everyone wants to see him more.

That’s why he was rewarded with that contract this off season.

He’s better than M.Lehtonen who the Leafs just got a return for.</div></div>

Riikola is a waiver player. Nothing more.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Campabee</b></div><div>He is gutless and won't add what we need for a deep run! I know I am being clinical but look at the last 3 years he had 8+ Mil and was in a playoff spot and still sat on his hands.</div></div>

You must admit this year is different. Bergy showed he is all in by spending $150M+ in the offseason, traded for Anderson, Allen, Edmundson and Staal, put Byron on waivers, etc.

The fact is that he will loose his job if he doesn't win a playoff serie, probably against Toronto, and he knows it.

Nobody want to lose their job without doing everything they could. Even if it means sacrificing long term success for short term result.

I think he will pay high picks for a RHD and maybe another foward (4th center or a goal scorer).
