I would not be upset if the Pens toss their #1 pick for a good hockey deal.

I would not mind an upgrade at D.

I would be less than nonplussed if the D got better.

If they don't trade for a defenseman, I wonder if they target one in the draft with their first rounder.

I like to watch the draft to see how many teams congraulat3 us on the cup win

I like Reaves for our 4th line...

Rutherford wasn't bluffing. I'm game.

Said it at the deadline, will say again:

Ryan Reaves **** sucks.

If win now is the mode, trading the pick is rational.

Postby **MR25** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:34 pm

Trading the pick for Ryan **** Reaves, however, is not.

Yeah, he is someone that makes every shift he plays worse because of his presence. Stupid.

Sundqvist and the 31st for Reeves, WTF? I'm hoping there is more to this

Postby **shafnutz05** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:37 pm

Yeah, this is really dumb. I was never that high on Sundqvist, but that feels like a really dumb, pointless trade.

Postby **MR25** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:37 pm

I dunno. Maybe Sullivan can teach him to play hockey.

Not sure if his 20 IQ will make that possible, though.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:37 pm

Sundqvist is pure crap and will never take a regular shift in the NHL.

GMJR

honestly **** yourself

Postby **columbia** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:38 pm

31st pick = decidedly uncertain future.

Postby **shafnutz05** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:38 pm

Would this trade have been made if Botterill was still around?

Postby **shmenguin** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:39 pm

wondering if there's a consensus in the lockeroom that this type of guy is needed after 4 rounds of getting straight man handled

Probability > O.75

Postby **MR25** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:40 pm

And yet, they've won 2 Cups without a guy like that taking regular shifts.

That's the nonsense sentiment from HF and the answer is obviously a yes. GMJR is the boss man. How much influence do you think an assistant GM has? GMJR has been saying for weeks the type of
player he wants to add and he just did it.

Postby **Dan H** » Fri Jun 23, 2017 10:41 pm

The info listed on the Pens' website is Sundqvist + pick 31 for Reaves + pick 51.

Enough to convince him to trade Despres for Lovejoy without shopping him around.
