I disagree with that... he was excelling while he was here. He put up more points here than he did in Pitts and had 6 GWG's for us and set up about 4 or 5 other ones if I recall correct. Downgrading him to Sutter is what put us in this mess we're in. His playoff performance was incredible though... no doubt he got robbed on the Conn Smythe in 2015-2016. Gotta give it to the leagues princess Sidney... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.53 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Good for him. He's been making pennies compared to his actual worth his whole career. He honestly deserves to get overpaid to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sutter is a foundation piece as is LE. They are not their for the speed or skill or ability but for mentor-ship, albeit at a slightly high price.

Beary Sweet Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Bones is another good option. he'll probably command top dollar but with the cap we have, it's worth offering some dough. still a servicable center and was instrumental part of the 'HBK' line last year in the Pens Cup win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhukini Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 He was in the perfect situation in Pittsburgh, and the great thing he's already won twice so he doesn't need to chase a cup anymore. He's going to be overpaid in FA as he should, a team will realize he won't be as good when not on the penguins, and life will move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna stick with my guns and say Bonino got robbed then Kessel ... both played better than Crosby last playoffs. Bonino was a +19 with 18 points and 2GWG and a few huge tying goals. He had an outrageous # of blocks too Kessel was a +5 with 22 points and 0 gwg and practically no blocks Yet somehow Crosby, tied for 3rd last on his team with a -2 warranted the Conn smythe? Lolz.

Gotta give it to the leagues princess Sidney... 1st of all, regardless of who's side you're on, the difference between Sutter and Bonino has almost zero impact on where we are/would be as a franchise. 2nd - take away the playoffs (as Sutter hasn't had played in them) and the only difference between the two is the freak injury to Sutter last year and a whopping three points more for Bonino this year. An argument can also be made that Bonino played with significantly better linemates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah bro, swapping Bonino for Sutter is totally what put us in this mess. Not the lack of prospect development for years, poor drafting for years, failure to rebuild, etc. It was swapping third line centers that ruined the team. Get real.

Nancouver Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I still take sutter over bonino every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I was disappointed with Bones, & that late-game, head snap-shyte, he pulled vs Wash. That said, from when in Van he seemed a pretty good guy. Good, smart player..yet slower than the second comin'. Predicting he heads to Buff(about 4 mill per), after they trade RHINO to us!

Alflives Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Bonino is a good 3rd. line center. If a team signs him for 2nd line center dollars, they will be making a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get real. 1.9 Million cap hit vs 4.25 Million lost space for another quality player we could have had. We made the playoffs with Bonino. We didn't with Sutter. It's pretty simple.
