For what it's worth...I like your stlye.

It's funny. I seen on twitter pretty reputable sources that Tampa would entertain the idea of getting Letang, but i can't see anybody the Pens would be interested in, outside of maybe Hedman. And why would they want him with Carle there??

My random trade idea of the day:

Letang & Fleury to Florida

2nd overall pick, Gudbranson, Markstrom and a prospect
- cap1681

that would be a hell of a haul, but would literally set that florida team back years

Florida would be nuts to do that. They are in the middle of a huge rebuild, and have the potential to draft a top end talent. Markstrom is poised to be their #1 next season, and Gudbranson is their top defensive prospect.

I agree Florida would be nuts to do that. Then again, I see people thinking Philly can get Ryan/Hiller out of Anaheim for Read and Mezaros. That is just as ridiculous.

I knew from day one you guys were going to win that trade hands down. I still get pissed thinking about it.

Which was more one sided in retrospect: Goligoski for Neal and Niskanen, or Jack Johnson for Jeff Carter?

Penguins fans, please factor in your current chagrin for Niskanen.

Briere is a great person but I don't think he is a good fit at all for the Pens.

He is best on the power play but the Pens don't need him for that.

Takes a lot of penalties and isn't good defensively.

He is a highly skilled player though.

He would be best as a #2 center on a team that could surround him w/ strong wingers.

Think he will end up w/ NYR, NYI or NJ. Just guessing though.

I can see a return to Buffalo for some reason.

Far more ridiculous than a Norris nominee and 40 game winning goalie for sure.

there are a ton of insane trade proposals going around right now. for the most part i dont mind, at least it provides something to discuss this time of the year. some of them though, you have to just laugh

Also a possibility. One last go round before hanging up the blades.

Neal for Goligoski was more one sided. Jack Johnson has turned into a decent player.

At least it'll be a somewhat shorter offseason. Heck, the draft will be in all one day. What a whirlwind. I couldn't be more excited unless we had a shot at the cup still.

I completely agree.

You would have to add Fowler to that as well.

JJ had a first rounder with him for Carter I believe.... that makes it pretty even

Goli for Neal and Niskanen is way more one sided

Bobrovsky for picks was. Oh that wasn't a choice? Let me think about it...

Still think Goligoski... He really hasnt had the impact they were hoping for.

How about Craig Smith or Patrick Hornqvist and their 4th + some d-man?
- Orpik44

It depends on which Patrick Hornqvist are you getting. The one last year - sure; the one this year - hell no.

HEY! Take that back... thats unsportsmanlike!

Zero chance.

- nelson911

Huh, I forgot about that first rounder. Considering that, the Goligoski trade was definitely more one sided.

- HopintheCordoba

yeah, this craziness and hypothetical stuff does at least provide some mental occupation to not focus on the bitterness of being absolutely pillaged, so like i said, im all for these discussions.

i dont see nashville making a play, but they have some interesting pieces.

ill breathe a little easier if it gets announced soon that dupuis has been signed to a 3 year 9 million dollar deal

HEY! Take that back... thats unsportsmanlike!
- jak521

Ouch. He actually had SUCCESS against us too.

Okay, okay...enough of that. Sorry. You've been oddly classy as of late on here.

Woah, you forgot we stole Mason from them. Forget the Veznika or whatever it's called, Mason should've won the Cup for those seven games he played here!

24th is too big of a ? mark.
- cranktheradio

24th pick, you can get someone like Ryan Hartman, who I think the world of. I'm not sure Vancouver would do that. They are up against the cap already and will have to resign Letang for 7 million ... resign both Sedin's, Hansen for starters. That is alot of money

- BulliesPhan87

Let's tone down the we stole Mason from Columbus. I think you need a bigger sample size than six or seven games. He was lousy for the previous two.

Ouch. He actually had SUCCESS against us too.

Jak's good people...

...even if he is from a bad neighborhood
