I do feel kind of sick inside

Colton Sceviour is a bottom 6 guy who can play either winger. He likes to do the dirty work in front of the net and scores most of his goals off of redirects and rebounds. Doesn't score a ton, but most of his highlighted goals were in the blue paint. Reading some Flordia media about him. He was a PK type of player who played better in a defensive/shut down role. Sounds like maybe he jumps in on the 4th line and Tanev gets a bump to the 3rd.

Great you have a guy that scores 8 goals a year on the fourth line and a guy that scores 12 a year on the 3rd.

yippee.

This sucks.

we have how many LD now? 5?

After having a day to digest it, I don't think its that terrible. Hornqvist is a lock to miss at least 20 games and this could mean JJ is on his way out which would make it a huge positive.

- BINGO!

Wait til they sign Chris Tanev too. Can toss in another two goals a year.

Mike Matheson was credited with a turnover on one out of every five possessions at even strength last year.

Yeah... Petts is gone. That doesn't bother me much. JJ is staying. That bothers me tremendously.

He’s also in the Give Matheson a chance train. I bet he wants to release a bunch of felons and give them a second chance too.

Well if an 18 year old sells a dime bag to a 17 year old they grew up with they are a felon. Easy on the F word.

Per Rossi on the Athletic on prediction for the next move:

"Brian Dumolin is on his way out."

A guess vs. actual rumor, but my God that would be terrible. Hard to imagine a reasonable return that makes the team better.

He’ll fit right in with Letang then

Sceviour looks like he isn’t afraid to fight. All his fights came as a response to a teammate getting run. I’m not sure how the bench will react to that. Sullivan will hate it.

So is everyone in agreement that this trade is brutal?

There isn’t going to ever be a non brutal trade in the fancy stats era of hockey. You guys live to hate trades.

Nah. I like trades that improve the team. Ala Kessel, Zucker, etc.

It's pretty bad, and if Dumo goes it's gonna be beyond a diaster. The only thing that will make me feel better is if JJ is gone.

Yeah I think so too. Moved Hornqvist to get a LD because he knows he can clear out Pettersson easier.

Gonna end up being Hornqvist and Pettersson for Matheson, Tanev, Sceviour and whatever they get in a Pettersson cap dump.

Matheson is our second highest paid defenseman and has the longest contract on the team. His contract will expire right around when Malkin turns 40. They better be right about this.
