Elliotte Friedman on the second edition of Saturday Headlines says Vancouver is still targeting Wayne Simmonds. Also says Pittsburgh has interest in Simmonds. #NJDevils #SNTrade #Canucks #LetsGoPens

Pretty cool. Even if it doesn't work out, it's just a 3rd round pick.

Ovi and kovalchuk on he same power play. ....dear godddd

(frank)... the Pens can't follow that up with Simmonds lol

He is still a solid depth scorer to add to an already strong roster.

JR and Sully should decide if they are going to go for it this year or try next year when hopefully everyone is healthy. Just acquiring Zucker isn't going to cut it. Not even close. And making some minor bottom six move isn't going to cut it, either.

Man, you take that gamble any day. Really wanted him on Pens when Guentz went down. He was still a King or FA.

Caps are somehow getting max salary retention on these deals, too. Come on, JR, try to fleece someone for once.

3rd rounder for Kovy to the Caps ..I'm already pissed with tomorrow.

Wonder how Geno feels about it. Geno could of been his center FFS.

JR needs to go big or go home.

If the Pens were fully healthy I think they'd be enough. Of course anything can happen through four seven game series but with Guentzel and those top 4 D healthy they're strong AF.

I still think we need another top 6 forward this season as long as Simon is on the top line and/or Kahun is hurt.

Yep, probably, but that's a far cry from this season.

Agree

He needs to go Jumbo

Best friends with Kovy. GENO can’t be happy right now.

I’m glad Tampa took Bogosian though.

Hoping for Thornton (or JG Pageau) and Wood (or Ennis or M.Foligno) for our bottom 2 lines. On D Manson or Dumba (lol as if we could land him).

I agree. I think we need a 2LD and a 1/2 RW, in that order.

Honestly, I think JR and Sully have become arrogant. Minor tweaks aren't going to cut it this year. And I think the team is a little arrogant, too. I'd like to see some more hunger and fight in everyone.

My gut is telling me the Pens get Thornton or Simmonds.

He needs to go Jumbo
- Rinosaur

I have a feeling we’ll get him

Simmonds has been cooked for the last 2-3 years. Please don’t trade for him.

- Rinosaur

I can't recall him making us happy on deadlines...quite the opposite, actually. I can't remember all his deadlines right now.

Lovejoy for Despres had most of us twisted hahaha ...it worked out though but a season later.

Gudbranson had most of us twisted.

JR needs to go big or go home.

If this is the way to go, go for Dumba. One of our top prospects would have to be involved on this deal unfortunately. I’d deal Légaré if we landed MD24
