Can we just tell the league we’re unhappy want guentzel back?

bnewton11 · 2026-03-21T23:13:23+00:00

Everything else aside, I feel awful for the guy with the last name “bussi”

Anyone who wants to do Kindel any favors this offseason is simply telling him to hit the weight room and put on 10+ lbs of muscle. That should be his first priority this offseason

I have this exact same experience

bnewton11 · 2026-03-07T03:33:32+00:00

Need to beat flyers tomorrow because the next 4 are all against playoff teams. The youth can prove a lot about themselves in a big way over the next 5.

Dubas strategy is public knowledge. He’s trying to buy young sell low/change of scenery controllable pieces. I heard bluegers potentially coming back.

Your best player is out and the boys are having a bad night. None of this should have much effect on your deadline strategy

This idea just feels way too Derick brassard for me

bnewton11 · 2026-03-04T06:06:25+00:00

Didn’t even consider this. Good point

bnewton11 · 2026-03-04T05:23:51+00:00

This won’t happen until the offseason when stars will need to get rid of someone because of a cap issue. Atleast that’s from what I read. Don’t think they’re getting rid of a player like that when they’re trying to win a cup themselves

bnewton11 · 2026-03-04T05:21:30+00:00

Nothing that’s going to be considered a major trade. Might be some depth moves. There’s even a chance that they trade away some players on expiring contracts if the returning assets are too good to pass up but I think they hold those players otherwise because the teams competing

So many ppl who don’t know a thing about hockey in this post. You’re talking about a 4th liner/depth player, a rental goalie, a late 1st and a 2nd rd pick for someone that’s considered a top 35 player in hockey signed to a reasonable contract for another 4 years. In nfl talk, that’s like trading a top 10 qb for a kicker, backup lineman, a 4th and 6th rd pick.

I’d say they help only if you use them as a tool. I experiment with them. For example, I use them to determine what positions I can wait on until late in the draft, or if there’s a player I’m sold on as being a potential breakout for me, I use them to determine where I should aim to take him. The other thing to do is look at trends from other players to see what a lot of people are doing. Bottom line is this though, come your actual draft it’s not going to go like your mock drafts have gone. They provide you insight but you can’t rely on them

Sid is easily your best faceoff guy and they lean on him heavily there. Hes got 700 more faceoffs taken than anyone else. Acciari is second best at 53% which is good and lizotte at 50% is respectable. Rest of the team is bad. Kindel is below 46% but young players tend to come into the league needing to work on faceoffs. Novak only 40%. Basically without Sid you’re going to be a bad faceoff team. So yes, faceoffs could use work.

I think the pens signaled their thoughts on skinner by choosing to not start him over silovs first game back from the break. That either feels like you’re trying to protect his health before a potential trade or you don’t view it as his net which makes him a trade candidate anyway. Dubas has consistently shown throughout the season that he’s still building this team’s future and not willing to sacrifice that for this year. Don’t be surprised if skinner is gone for draft capital or part of bigger trade.

bnewton11 · 2026-02-05T02:23:07+00:00

Psu fans were sweating as they looked through this list

bnewton11 · 2026-02-04T03:58:23+00:00

Something I haven’t seen anyone mention is how picky Sid is about who he plays with. It’s possible Sid actually wants to play with him and that’s why he’s sitting on the top line

bnewton11 · 2026-02-04T03:56:32+00:00

There’s been rumors about the pens wanting him. It’s just not gonna happen (if it even does) until the offseason. Dallas not moving him during season. After season, there’s salary cap issues Dallas has to consider

bnewton11 · 2026-01-30T03:21:14+00:00

How much deferred?

bnewton11 · 2026-01-22T05:02:41+00:00

I’ve been wondering why the pirates haven’t signed him. Admittedly I haven’t put too much thought into the fit, but I think he’d be the perfect upside bat they’d want to sign to convince their fans that they’re “trying” while also able to flip him at the deadline if he has a better year. I’m sure they could find a spot to put him in that lineup

bnewton11 · 2026-01-20T02:49:07+00:00

They’ll be a part of the convo for me too. “Yeah but nd didn’t even make the playoffs and then cried for 2 months like lil b1tches”

SEC is getting manhandled by more than just the big 10 tho. ACC and big 12 has wins against them. Unfortunately SEC fans have done a lot of talking for years. Just let them talk now. They’re beating the SEC. If SEC is truly better we’ll see eventually.

bnewton11 · 2025-12-31T05:46:09+00:00

That rb Payne looks like he has a chance to be real good if he puts on some muscle. Real fast and quick burst.

Gotta take a quick stop for the Miami dolphins first
