Hextall said today he is not one dimensional , he can rebuild on the fly. It will be interesting.

They still have 2 of the best players in the world and still have a pretty good defenseman in Letang, the window is closing, 2 years maybe.

Crosby's still productive at 33 but both him and Malkin are starting to get into the minus stats for +/- which leads me to believe his speed is starting to decline. Not that the Sedins were fast but the same thing happened to them, they just couldn't get back defensively their last couple years.

I like Sid and Gino but they need a full rebuild . They have had their time.

We have seen first hand how much damage can be done at trying to give two players one last kick at the can.

Probably not. Sureprised anyone would want to run the Pens. They are doomed if they don’t start a rebuild. JV has negative value and should be a salary dump

Unless he ends up playing with Crosby and scores 40 goals per year.

I think they're still too good to rebuild, they were competitive last year, they had 40 wins in 69 games which is 5th best, that's still really good.

Sedins were 35/36 years old when it became apparent the Canucks needed a rebuild.

That weren't that old in 2013.

I think the Pens just need to trade away some picks and prospect to fill their age gap, that should sort them out.

They need some more veteran presence in that locker room as well, they should sign some older proven vets.

That was for the 2015/16 season FYI...they're in their 40's now

Lots of upset people today saying to boycott Bell Media. I wonder how many will boycott when the World Jr tournament is broadcasted?

Bell released its fourth quarter and 2020 financial report five days ago. From their own news release, "Net earnings increased 28.9% to $932 million in Q4."

They also received 122 million from the Canadian government in pandemic relief, which was meant for small business's, they paid out dividends to shareholders with that money #ruthless

Talk radio is dying anyway. Everyone I know around my age or younger is listening to their music on Spotify or maybe a podcast. No one has the attention span for radio ads or listening though topics they don’t have interest in. There’s no fast forward or skip button on live radio like there is on a music app, podcast app or YouTube

Doesn't break my heart, unlike the Hextall Penguins deal, and hey, business is business. If it's not making you money then why keep doing it? Just business baby!

Yeah, I feel bad for the guys who lost their jobs but it doesn’t take an expert to realize that talk radio isn’t the best industry to be involved with right now, it’s trending downward. I’m sure the guys who had the best numbers will land on their feet on either 650 or by relocating to a different city but the rest may have to look at other options.

Chicago has now come out and said that they are concerned about Seabrooks health. As much as he wants to come back we feel that this may not be possible.

What a crock of sh1t . Funny how two very healthy athletes like Seabrook and Hossa who have terrible contracts have these mysterious illnesses .

Can this kid bring it with the US National Anthem or what...holy cow

If you're not cheatin, you're not trying. If they can get away with it why not, the precedent's already been set.
