mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

[mikey]

The early thoughts are that maybe Marchessault and Martinez aren't back. So, that's the money right there...

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

not that I’d be super sad losing Karlsson but my biggest fear with us trading him is we’d have a large gap in minutes that we’d need other d-men to fill in and I don’t feel great about who we have currently to replace them

[mikey]

Well, that's just one move in a vacuum, of course...

[Trip McNeely]

I wouldn’t want to trade EK for marner unless we could dump Graves for nothing

[Lelldorin]

I would do Karlsson for Marner in a heartbeat, but as said before we probably need to add to that.

My biggest issue would be that Marner could leave for free after next season, while Karlsson should be a net positive for the next three years. Especially if we get a proper PP manager.

Ned is playing for Team USA too

Ned > Jarry confirmed

[willeyeam]

Bunting will play in the WCs.

Tanev, oleksiak, McCann.. What's the point of this tournament?

adding puustinen and puljujarvi to this post

and Ned

[mikey]

Ty Hennes is there as an assistant too...

tbh I was surprised Ned is American. I had just assumed he was Czech or something (it turns out his grandparents were from Serbia)

I think most last names that end in "vic" are Serbian is origin and are pronounced as "vich".

Growing up we had the Marinkovic's and Milkovic's as neighbors.

DK is one of them as well. Lots of Serbs came to Pgh.

No O'Connor for USA? He played well for them last year

Ned is from some horrible Cleveland suburb but probably tells everybody he’s from Cleveland.

We had family friends when I was kid that lived in Shaker Heights. That was a cool neighborhood, at least at the time.

Shockingly, he’s the second person from Parma to play for the Pens.

[meow]

Nope. The correct answer is Penguins great Brian Holzinger.
