BureBurrito Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 JR is notorious for trading so it seems it'll eventually happen but right now all signs are Miller stays and they take a HUGE risk holding onto him until trade deadline or he walks in 2023 for nothing. Team D is atrocious and Demko needs 2 Top 4 D on reasonable contracts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the Brock and Mikehyev contracts were mistakes. I think Brock got what he should,but to me he is one guy that teams want and we could get the rhd plus pick to make the team better and maybe throw in a bad contract to boot.

We are 4 days into free agency. have some patience. Benning left them with very few prospects and no cap room what exactly are you expecting? It's thier first off season and you're roasting them about 4 days worth of work. They've re signed Boeser on a great deal, brought in the NHLs fastest player and solidified our 4th line. They also signed the most sought after European free agent in Kuzmenko with lots of other interest in the league. To say they haven't done anything special is silly. Anything else will come from trades which they have all summer to do. Man this is such a fickle and unreasonable fan base sometimes damned if you do, damned if you don't. Why don't you step in and show them how it's done lol Edited July 16, 2022 by Harold Drunken 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethunder Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 With all the emptying of cupboards the Penguins have done over the years to try and stay competitive, this looks like a real savvy couple of moves to bring in some young pieces. Poehling just 23 and Smith just 22. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Baratheon said: Well argued but I'm not buying it. Ty Smith was on the NHL All-Rookie Team. I can't see a sophomore slump devaluing him to the point where Pittsburgh shuffles around their D. All in the name of keeping 32 year old Chad Ruhwedel and Mark Friedman in the lineup? I suppose it's technically possible but I think it's a lot more likely that they value the asset that they traded for lol. You maybe right. No one really knows what Pens will do. I don't even think they know at this point .. all depends on how Smith does at camp and pre-season. In NJD he had a horrible season. He can't pkay defense. He gets beat and beat bad.. hands out grade a scoring chances against like candy on Halloween. On a team like the Pens he will not stick of he keeps getting bear like he did last year.. I think NJD rushed him. Should have left him in minors and develop. His sophomore season was about as bad as it could have been. Maybe it was the coaching. Hamilton and Severson had off years as well.. Good on him if he can stick. I think for his career a new team and time in the AHL might be the best thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front load the actual money so we can potentially move him to a bottom feeder trying to hit the cap floor without spending much in terms of actual dollars. Also, I'm concerned with how well he'd fit here? His +/- is absolutely atrocious. Definitely an offense-first type player, and I figured we needed a solid defense-first type of blueliner that could cover for Hughes when he decides to go skating.

Yeah, we don't need a defenceman who can't play defence. I wouldn't take him regardless of contract length or AAV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers has a huge advantage over OEL in that even though he’s older (and inferior to OEL), his contract only runs for two more seasons & he is coming off a decent year under Bruce.
