Thread: Who to add as top nine players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cwhitney29</b></div><div>very quickly, the penguins would be completely foolish to not explore adding a stay at home left defenseman this offseason to slot in behind pettersson because ryan graves aint that guy

if we acquired marco rossi he wouldnt be the 3C, theres a pretty good chance he would just get put on the 2nd line with malkin and bunting or put up with crosby, he shouldnt be asked to do 3rd line stuff. i dont think sam is an option as a center next year, maybe ponomarev, but not sam, he just didnt do anything with the brief opportunity he had. bertuzzi and debrusk are in that affordable 5-6 mil range so they would be solid. i like pretty much every guy in the less than 5 mil range so just go get one or two of those guys. fortunately kyle might not have to give up many futures to revamp the bottom 6.</div></div>

I do think we target an LHD, but this post was more for forwards.
Rossi overall would be a super nice addition so I dont mind where he plays.

Thread: big offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>I think we can do better. I mean the 2nd I think we will both agree is going to be a standard piece.

Here you got a 5'7" center and a 4th liner.

Neither one of which is really appealing. Really it's like scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as return.

I'd rather get back a LDH prospect/young player from a team like NJ or OTT. The penguins don't need any help brining in AHL and replacement level guys.</div></div>

Although I agree, the only reason we may not get more is because there will be a decent amount of goalies on the market.

Gibson, Markstrom, Gustavsson, Saros, Binnington/Hofer, Vejmelka, Merzlikins &amp; Ullmark are all guys who have been mentioned in trade talks.
The teams who could have interest in acquiring a goalie would/could be EDM, LAK, COL, NJD, PHI, BUF, DET, OTT &amp; TOR, and some of these are stretches, so because there are so many available goalies, and only some of these teams really need to starter, it might drop values overall.

Thread: Next SZN
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>just because a GM drafts a guy or signs a guy doesn't mean he "likes" them.

That's especially true when it comes to drafting, you take people in your room into account.
Fact is I think Dubas is learning as a GM. I think he knows the mistakes he's made, and guys like Robertson are part of that.

There is a difference between getting younger and getting better. Neither of these guys make the team better. Hell Timmins is scratched. He'd probably be demoted to the AHL next year so if he wants him he'd be on waivers.
Not that I think he would take him off waivers either as he's not really what this team needs.

Truth is Smith is the best piece here. It's not worth moving him out to recoup 2.5 mil.</div></div>

So what is your POV on Smith? You rather keep him? If we are gonna trade him for a pick, I rather just get a young NHL ready player like Robertson and take a risk.
