Thread: Pittsburgh trade based on Darren Dreger rumour
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Klink2014</b></div><div>Maatta is currently playing great hockey so I don't think PIT is interested in trading him right now, and in the event of injury, Sprong is probably the first forward called up. I like Galchenyuk but I don't think he can really be a quality center, I see him more of a top 6 winger</div></div>

I totally agree about Galchenyuk being a winger, but Darren Dreger specifically mentioned his name in connection with Pitt's search for a C so that's pretty much the only reason I did this roster. I was really surprised that was the info Dreger got but it is what it is.

And for Maatta I've seen a lot of Pens fans on here saying he's playing great, but is he really indispensable though? He's still their fifth ranked defenseman in total ice time so far this season, and more importantly 5th by a pretty big margin at 5 on 5... Seems to me like he can be sacrificed to add another potentially very dynamic offensive forward like Galchenyuk.

Thread: Nelson, Vrbata (TD), Lindberg and Butcher
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Klink2014</b></div><div>As a Pens fan I see nothing but problems here. I think Nelson is a good player but I think at the end if the day Sheary can bring more offense and has chemistry with Crosby, plus has a decent cap hit. Throwing in all the picks makes it even less enticing to me.

Why trade for Vrbata? It seems like the only place he can play consistently well at is ARZ. You throw in Hagelin and Blueger (who's probably one of our better center prospects at this time), when a 3rd would probably be plenty to get him.</div></div>

This is just one option. I've never said this is the best, even in my opinion.

I think Sheary is overvalued for most of our fans. He can't produce with anyone but Sid. At least till now. But I think he deserves at least one more chance to show us that he's a real deal.

Now, I'm much more confident and exciting about Guentzel's future than Sheary's.

I like Vrbata. He had good seasons in Vancouver. Specially playing with Sedin's twins. And he almost every season scores at least 20 goals. He would be a cheap good option to secondary scoring in TD.
