lol you wish. Why would the Pens do this ahahahahahahahah


******* think and learn hockey

if i was pit i wouldnt. guentzel was PITs MVP in the playoffs

what about sheary or rust

I’d do Sheary for Galchenyuk.

I’d add, too.

Sheary+Lauzon for Galchenyuk.

Yeah but in the playoffs right now guentzel has 1 more point than galchenyuk and galchenyuk is doing well lately

Maybe but Chucky is better than Sheary (even this year)

and guentzel is playing with better players

Chucky’s also overpaid by a bit.

Sheary+Cole+2nd is another deal that could be made.

Look at me! I’m actually having a discussion with a reasonable Habs fan!

Yeah i can see something around Sheary for Galchenyuk, But Guentzel isn't happening.

It’s non-discussion for PIT in trading Guentzel.

He’s 22, signed 2 more years at dirt cheap, works really well with Sid, he’s plays center, can score greasy goals, is an RFA in 2 years, etc.

He’s not having the greatest of seasons, but none of the Pens are. Sid’s not even on a PPG pace!

None of the above. Guy Lafleur was 22 before he had his first big season. Chucky has already had 30-goal year with a horrible coach. I'd trade him to a team that needs plug-and-play offence for a hot prospect. Drouin had 53 points and fetched Sergachev from a desperate GM. As bodies drop on teams that had high playoff hopes, there's a good chance Chucky would fetch a very meaningful return.

Better yet, maybe Julien will figure out how to turn him into Krejci. Better yet, let him be Tavares's winger. Could be lethal.

Why don’t you post more often?

Have to wait for work-release.

Maybe you need to learn how hockey works...

Galchenyuk as way more upside than guentzel

Maybe you don't believe me now but if this trade was made You wouldn't even remember guentzel name.

Galchenyuk-malkin-kessel would do a lot of dammage.

Lol I’ll forget Guentzel leading the playoffs in scoring.
I don’t feel like arguing but I got 20 minutes until the Pens game so what the hell.

So now that I’ve proven my point, go learn hockey.

All these stats are great but you forgot something...

galchenyuk plays for Montreal and guentzel plays for pittsburgh.

I'm not saying that pittsburgh as a better offense than mtl but...
You need to see further than the stats (this what people who draft young player do).

I didn't want make you lose your time but please Just think about what I just said.

I watch games if that’s what you mean. I watch any game if I got time, and Guentzel isn’t some product of Crosby. He’s the real deal. Just watch his goals in the playoffs and you’ll see what I mean. I don’t just look at the stats, but clearly you don’t really watch Guentzel so I had to bring up the stats. Galchenyuk is a center, but can’t even get a center job on MTL. Guentzel is a center and he’s been playing center behind Crosby and Malkin this year. So we are also comparing a center vs a winger for 2017-18. I take Guentzel 10/10 times over Galchenyuk. Also, wasn’t Galchenyuk the 4LW for the ******* Habs

I clearly see that we have different opinon on this subject and by the way this trade would never happens.
No need for both team.

Ok agree to disagree.

But if this was offered and MTL didn’t do this, I’d have serious concern with your team.

We need centers and LHD. I like guentzel and I would take him anyday but he isn't what we need.

Lol he is a center.

Why he doesn't play center?

He does. He’s been playing center this year if you didn’t read what I wrote in an earlier message.

Not meaning to pick, I'm curious because I only see about 80 faceoffs fir Guentzel this season (and just under 50%), so is center a recent thing? Doesn't look like all season.

It’s been for like about 2 weeks I believe now. He looks good there so far. It’s his natural position, he was just playing LW because, well reasons
