Riley Smith could have bounce back year. It's a contract year for him. If you remember, everyone was down on Zucker the first season here. Different players but this happens a lot in the league.

I really like Laine, but i dont $8.7M/yr like him. Does a 3rd team need to be involved to make the numbers work? Could the Pens move Smith out and bring in Laine at $6.5M-ish? I would love for them to unload graves but is that even possible?

"OLIVER Bemstrom 2.0" hahahahahaha

Wahlstrom played over 50 games in the AHL.

Speaking of trades…Arthur Kaliyev of the LA Kings has requested a trade (twice). Maybe Vukie Mpofu has some insight on him, but it looks to me like there is no room for him on a playoff contender. Thus relegated to the fourth line where he has learned how to grind and defend, and this past season stats reflect that. The Kings are not looking for prospects and picks, but instead proven playoff performers (Riley Smith)…and I doubt they will re-sign a 36 year old Cam Talbot (Tristan Jarry?) Although he has been linked to the Blackhawks and Conor Bedard…the hawks don’t have the veterans. Arthur Kaliyev is a 22 year old sniper with a very deceptive shot and potential through the roof😮

Kings have no interest in Jarry and they have good depth at wing, Jarrys former coach is now the goalie coach for LAK, they did not get along, which is why the pens fired him

The penguins play tenacious hockey when they choose to. When they decide to play this way, they win. This is proven by examining the final 10 games of last season. Penguins could bring in a young Gretzky and still lose due to lack of focus. Not that this should happen but would replacing Sullivan with a Mike Babcock type coach help? Jerry will play great for another team.

Jarry. Spell check 😜

as much as you guys' dawg jarry why would another team want him and that contract?

Wahlstrom is not needed. We have an entire team of defensively responsible forwards. We need to give our young guys a shot. Poulin, Gruden, Puljujarvi should be the 4th line. Eller, Puustannen, and D.O.C should be the 3rd. Malkin, Bunting, Rakell on 2nd. Crosby, Rust, and trading for Laine for the 1st line.

Trade jarry resign ned.

​@@hockeyfreak043 how do you know? Jarry has proven he isn't good enough the penguins have declined more and more since getting him

I would much prefer paying for Laine than Marner.

Is he though?

Yes

Not sure why. He's had years to prove he fades as the season goes on and can't handle pressure situations. If you need a big save don't look here.

If you two start to talk more positive and share a positive belief in Jarry, I think it would be better for the team. Go get a couple of Jarry jerseys and try to build not destroy. Just saying

Laine would be great in pittsburgh. He would be our best non Crosby non Malkin forward immediately, great on the power play. He definitely fills a need

The sooner we get rid of Jarry, the better...

It’s kinda annoying listening to horwat he dosent contribute anything
