Gawdzukes Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Man that guys a beast. Unlucky for the Pens, he was an important guy. Back for the second or third round I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Ooooh that's gonna hurt. Both Crosby and Guentzel out? Malkin will have to play more minutes, get the bulk of the scoring, and if he gets injured... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Ouch! That one hurts. Pens keep rolling through injuries, they were looking like a threat in the playoffs once everyone got healthy. But looks like in Guentzel's case, that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Blight Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Somehow Rutherford will find a replacement for Guentzel that will suddenly perform much better than they currently are on their existing team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Spitfire_Spiky Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2019 Let them take Baertschi, might kick start his career. I find fringe players tend to thrive playing on the Pens just because of the supporting cast they get. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerrDrFunk Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 With Guentzel being out that long, and with a 6 million dollar cap hit going away with him, Benning should be on the phone selling Beartschi as hard as possible. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silky mitts Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Unfortunate he was killing it this year. Looks like Malkin will have to carry even harder than he currently is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Thank god it was his shoulder and not his neck. His whole upper chest snapped back really badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkingz Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Holy hell that looked bad. Looked like he went into the boards on his own though? That's a tough loss for the Pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the Atlantic and North divisions are all so close in the AHL (both teams farm clubs are in very close proximity to each other), the Utica Comets and Wilkes-Barrie-Scranton Penguins play eachother a lot. So my guess is thy Pens already have seen some good shows from Baertchi down on our farm team. He's been looking good. I hope for Baer we could make a trade work. This could be the perfect opportunity for him. Edited December 31, 2019 by Attila Umbrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baertschi has that extra year. Would think that they are more likely to go after someone that is UFA at the end of the season - Kreider, Toffofi or the likes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd likely have to give up a quality prospect along with Baer for them to take on that extra year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Here's my proposal: To PIT: Sven Baertschi + Troy Stecher To VAN: Alex Galchenyuk + Kevin Czuczman Cap hit is about even (Pens take on $90K). Baertschi fills a need up front, Stecher helps their blueline (which is also hurting, with Dumoulin and Schultz both out for another month). Schultz is UFA at the end of the year, so they could use the cheaper Stecher going forward. Galch hasn't worked out there at all (then again, neither did Pearson). Give him one more kick at the can riding shotgun with Horvat. Czuczman gives us a replacement LD, and can call up Rafferty as well. Worst case scenario, it doesn't work out, and we just gladly take the extra cap space next year, without having to spend a pick/prospect.

Toyotasfan Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Will injuries ever make this team falter in the standings, they had 10 wins in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
