HughMungus Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Yeah no. After seeing Hall for Larsson and godawful Gudbranson for Pearson, Phaneuf for Kessel makes sense. You dont always necessary want contracts multiplying in every move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughMungus Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 A lot of you dismiss players because of their age, which is just a number. Actually take a look at Phil Kessel. Toronto ages you. Cant wait to see Tavares at the end of that contract. Im basing mine on what I see rather than the laws of average and number theory. Dion would be more servicable to pits. And are hard to find.

Teams make moves to send messages after being swept in the playoffs. Dion was playing pretty decent playoff hockey in a sheltered role. Put him behind Letang and with Gudbranson and that can take away a lot of space and be hard on your body game after game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughMungus Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) LA had COACH WILLIE are you fans so jaded you cant connect that dot either? Hes not being used well during a stealth tank imagine my shock. We got to witness first hand how guys would take the night off with that coach as he played favourites and moral victories.

Like I said. A ppg player for a washed up D doesn’t make sense no matter how you try to spin it. It’s an AWFUL deal for Pittsburgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especailly because it makes your goalie better but these realities are lost on you. Pits isnt worried to call up later and ask for some help. They prefer working relationships with interconference teams. Here I go. Making it better for your goofs. To LA Phil Kessel To Pitsburgh Dion Phaneuf Future considerations Now can you stop derailing all of my threads with your little opinions and deliver some substance.

Why would Pittsburgh want to trade a PPG player for a player that literally had 6 ponts all of last season? Dion Phaneuf isn't an anchor, if anything he's a pylon. Overpaid, overrated, plain and simply terrible. Dion had his day, but it is long passed. He’s definitely an anchor, but in this analogy teams are cars and he’s slowing you down.

More icetime to give. He had value to get a top 4 D man on a bad team. Same how Phaneuf will improve on a better team like the Pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do yourself a favour and stop defending this proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
