Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hearing a lot of rumblings about the Penguins looking for a winger. Nothing close yet, but know that D Simon Despres can be had for the right price. Question becomes is that price a veteran winger with a short-term future or if the scouting staff has identified the next James Neal and now GM Ray Shero is set on trying to bring said player to Pittsburgh.

Smashian Kassian Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 What about a RH d-man?? Bieksa for Despres+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Despres and Yann Sauve played well together in major junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Dale Weise is a RW.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Booth+ for Despres+? That could be a possibility, Booth fits the mold of Kunitz/Neal type. But then the Canucks may be too thin on the W although Kassian is looking so good. Burrows - Kesler - Raymond is probably too weak of a 2nd line to win a cup...

Zoolander Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Holy crap they're eyeing Kassian!!! Don't do it MG! We need more Kassian's on this team, you can't trade away Kassian when we need more Kassian's! That's foolish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Maybe its a package for Iginla? Kennedy + Despres + 1st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mookie Wilson Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Canucks don't have wingers to spare right now, much less wingers who can score goals. EDIT: a winger who can score goals is arguably our greatest need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Or out of nowhere the Penguins sign winger Jason Blake.....just sayin.....put in the right situation he could be servicable in Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I could see the Pens get a guy like Stempniak from Calgary, could be a good stop gap until Bennett is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Not too sure how much there is in this rumour, since it's a blog post by someone only identified as 'Rossi'. Well, other than the Penguins are pretty much always looking for a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterlingArcher Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I hope the GM of the Flames would know that by agreeing to any deal that involves giving Iggy away to Pittsburgh it would mean an instant cup for the Penguins with the possiblity of 1 or several repeats Dupuis-Crosby-Iginla Neal-Malkin-Kunitz The rest of the line-up doesn't even matter because no one would be able to compete with that top 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yeah, Iginla makes perfect sense. Especially if Pittsburgh is willing to part with a solid young player like Despres (and a 1st, likely). Pens have the cap room to do it without sending anyone back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
