Kingerski isn't the best source, but he said earlier today Kahun may go because the Pens don't feel he's carved out a definitive role. I'd say that's garbage, he'd be good as a depth forward and would have liked to see him get a real look with Crosby, but the trade happened so maybe his sources were right. - Tojo.
Yeah I'm not buying that BS....Kuhan-Geno-Rust was unstoppable when Sid was out. |

He already got a coach fired and now loses his starting job. Damn |

I thought they had $2 Million in cap space. How are they making this work with picks and prospects? |

I look forward to Jesse Marshal’s Athletic piece on the Kahun-Sheary swap (I’m sure it’s coming). He seems to be under the impression that by the numbers the trade was pretty fair. |

Kahun is better, but it's probably by such a small amount that the addition of Rodrigues to our roster offsets it. |

This is along the lines of what I'm thinking too. |

Is Rodrigues good though? Does he push a guy like Lafferty out when/if we get healthy? |

I feel like it's going to be a lot of ES analysis, and I was disappointed in his last 2 playoff years where he didn't do much offensively except the end of the ECF and beginning of the Cup in 17 and was a defensive liability. Supposedly he's better defensively.
I just thought Kahun was sneaky good and affordable so I dislike giving him up, but this probably doesn't hurt much this year. I did like him on Malkin's line though. |

I mean, we legitimately have too many forwards. We have to be flipping some of them for a d-man... |

NYR sign Kreider and still get a 1st for Skjei. |

As far as the Metro goes I’d probably rank the deadline teams as
1. Carolina (Trochek, Skjei, and Vatanen is a pretty insane haul of good players regardless of what they paid and I think it was all pretty fair)
2A. Pens (Marleau and Kovalchuk are probably washes with an edge to Kovi and the Zucker trade outweighs Dillon and the unforced error of the Kahun trade IMO)
2B. Caps (they made good moves and weren’t as desperate to add pieces as the Pens to begin with. Argument can be made they had every bit as good a deadline as Pitt.)
4. Rangers (The decision to not trade Kreider and ink him to that contract will be good. If anything he’s appreciated in value if they want to revisit a trade later on. Skjei for a first is solid for a rebuilding team)
5. Jersey (solid return for an injured player
6. Islanders (overpaid for an impact player, but got an impact player nonetheless. The contract they gave him is probably suspect, but oh well. They’ll be happy that Parise trade didn’t go through as time moves on)
7. Flyers and CBus tied. Columbus did nothing and the Flyers May as well have done nothing. |

That ship has sailed no? |

If the team was willing to move Kahun, they should have just sent Kahun and Simon and some mediocre prospect to Florida for Trocheck. |

Willing to see how it looks before getting worked up |
