Cheap. Won’t break the bank and is a fine 4th line player.

Dude sucks. He’s legit a replacement level player. Probably have better guys in the minors.

You mean like Shultz, Simon, Kahun for Trocheck?
- nateca44

Sure, why not. I was thinking more of a one for one

Per PierreVLeBrun- Patrick Marleau to PIT pending trade call. I think 3rd pick

Nice!

3rd round pick for Marleau

Meh. I was expecting a 4th and no name prospect... but a 3rd sounds reasonable.

No picks until Round 4 now for the Penguins.

They could get picks back today or in offseason.

Personally I dont care much for the picks right now.

They're looking for more of a scorer, I believe. They already have a good defensive bottom 6 line. If the plan is for McCann to center this line a skilled LW like Marleau makes sense.

Jim got his man. Just in time for the Cali road trip lol

I’m happy with this. But I’d still go after joe

That’s good for a third. I like the trade. Marleau can still play. Better than Sheary for a 4th or lower in my opinion.

I like it.

Ruth is really setting a pattern of west coast trading lately. Will know for next year to armchair scout rosters.

Wouldn't mind getting big joe as well.

Agreed, solid pick up and his experience in the cup finals doesn’t hurt (not that we need it)

I’d turn Bjug and Murray into picks at the draft.

While you say that they’re production is nearly identical the last two years lol

An ovechkin fart won’t blow Marleau off the puck though.

Sure but I think Marleau’s skill set fits current team needs more and I think the “win one for Marleau” factor is a valid tie breaker to pay a bit more for him than Sheary.

Haven't seen Marleau play at all this year. Does he have anything left in the tank? I guess unlike Cullen he's not really blocking a younger better player from playing up.

Pick becomes a 2nd if we win the Cup. I think we could all live with that

You could probably say the same for his leadership. Not sure we needed it, but it's a plus.

If Kahun is back, Marleau-McCann-Lafferty is much more playable than what we've been using and that's what matters.

I agree.

I still feel strongly we need a true top 6 wing but that doesnt seem to be in the cards. Simon doesn't belong there, Kahun has been battling injuries, Rust is cooling down, McCann is better at center....
