Sujet: Pens miss Hextall fired Jarry takes 1 year deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>datools</b></div><div>Not a lot of great alternatives</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JSEB93</b></div><div>Since Jarry/Desmith has been the tandem the Pens are 9th in save %. Seems fine to me - would be open to upgrading but not sure what upgrades there are out there.</div></div>

Every season this tandem has let us down. How can we extend Jarry with how he's played? Will turn into an awful contract and is extremely risky. Hasn't proven himself at all. Would rather get a 1a 1b tandem. I mean I think we should rebuild anyways, but if we were contend I'd look at a tandem of maybe Korpisolo/Varlamov. Maybe their ceiling isn't as high as a Jarry/Desmith tandem, but the floor is certainly higher. At their peaks they might not be as good as Jarry, but much much less volatile and could get them both combined (5 mil probably) for the same price Jarry is asking for individually.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>Yeah I was just speculating but we both know the pens don’t see themselves correctly. They think they can still win… so I bet they try to be competitive till at least 2025 so two more seasons after this one… even then the core won’t retire until probably 2027 and the pens won’t even be able to be a bottom-5 team until then… even a couple top 5 picks will take a few years to flourish so yeah my guess of 2032 for being relevant again might be off but I doubt that lol 😂</div></div>

I think a lot depends on what ownership does this offseason, but I think we probably are solidly out of a playoff spot next year. I don't think we'll make it this year even, but next year I think we'll probably finish high 70s or low 80s for points. At that point we should rebuild, but wouldn't shock me if we put it off another year. Could also see some of the core guys asking out at that point, or management just going for a rebuild, but impossible to know since FSG given no indication what they want to do. I think we'll be bottom 5 team in 2-4 years then rebuild will probably take 5 so honestly 2030 around is when I expect us to contend again. So yeah actually your pretty accurate on that one.

Sujet: Worst GM in hockey
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JokiStan</b></div><div>Y'all do this every time the Penguins are on a losing streak lmaooo. They'll get into the playoffs and you'll forget all about Hextall</div></div>

No we won't. He's been a horrible GM for years. Obviously the criticism is amplified when were on a bad streak, but look back, we've all been saying this for months. Was horrible in Philly and got fired. Has been even worse here. This isn't just because were on a losing streak, he's just bad. The fact that losing streaks happen so frequently also speaks volumes. It's because of his horrible roster construction. Majority of us have been saying he's bad since the expansion draft. I don't think we'll forget about it if we make playoffs, which is a big if. Another first round loss and sweeping change should be made. You really think he's done a good job?

When do you anticipate the rebuild would start though? The core have been fantastic this year, but they won't be able to play at this level for much longer. I don't think its worth it extensively retooling the roster to make it a contender for maximum only 1 more year of contending. I don't know if it's possible either. This team desperately needs youth and the only way to do it is to rebuild or trade Guentzel basically. If we have a new GM come in with an extensive, concrete plan to contend for 1 year then rebuild after then I'll be fine with it. But I don't know if it's worth it only for maybe a year. I would just prefer to start the rebuild now and make it less lengthy and painful. If we do that then we can become a contender again well before 2032. If we do it the right way, could maybe even finish it before Crosby retires.

Sujet: Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tonyhzs</b></div><div>First, that Letang trade is hilarious. Letang, often injured and signed for term and high AAV is almost untradeable and is certainly not worth a 1st, especially from a rebuilding team. Letang will not suddenly end the rebuild, no way Montreal considers this.

Second, Detroit doesn't need either player. Rust is over 30, and Petry 35. This doesn't align with the rebuild timeline, with old players likely to decline as the team is ready to compete. Add 3 million retained on Rust, take back Chiarot, and make it 2 4th round picks, and Detroit accepts.

Finally, you might be right about Pettersson, but I doubt it. 1 goal a year doesn't net you a 1st.</div></div>

If he continues to play at this level next year then he will get a 1st at deadline imo
