Oh this guy that is potentially crushing PIT's playoff chances by not being available is also not worth a 1 year extension at 3rd line level compensation w/ team that has 48M in cap space?

Get the fuck out of here

Do you realize how idiotic that sounds?

And hes also a top 4 franchise player

Im as upset with Geno as I've ever been for that slash. Incredibly selfish and idiotic

However, if Malkin missing these 5 games is so important (it is) and it hurts the team as much as people are saying then you cant also defend Geno not being extended for one year at 3-5M

Can't have it both ways

Once again, not saying that on my standard I disagree with the punishment doled out, but the Penguins seem to be on the wrong end every time the department of player safety wants to actually be competent

It is ridiculous when you compare it to almost every other limp wristed punishment they give

i suppose 53 points in 70 ahl games last year is enough to keep chugging long, i just haven't seen his name in forever, he blocked me because i was critical of his buddy brandon sutter

He's still playing?!

I think throwing a dart at Elmer with a 3rd round pick would be even more palatable if Noel Acciari gets moved out to recover that draft capital

beat you!

he's 24, seems like one of Dubas' dart throws

No word yet on if Kyle Dubas thinks he is a... glue guy

hmmm, he's 6'8", not a lot else sticks out. Low tangible offense, not a faceoff guy, this doesn't appear to be in the mold of the Chinakhov trade unless the trajectory dramatically changes.

Kinda whatever on first glance

Being told the @Perguins are offering a 2026 1st, Harrison Brunicke, and Justin Brazeau for Vincent Trochek and a 2028 4th

06.03.2026 18:44 πŸ‘ 5 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 1

At this rate the Penguins should try and get a 1st rounder, top prospect, and a roster player for Noel Acciari

06.03.2026 17:20 πŸ‘ 18 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

He doesn't look far off

Maybe Malkin can fool Colin Campbell by talking about his house in Miami and thus getting the Florida Panthers DoPS deal

I would just like to say his presence on Capitals PP was what kept everything on the tracks

Reason the guy everybody knew to cover was open is because Carlson was assertive up top and would take his own effective shots. This forced top killer up to create east/west lane behind, thus Ovie open

Ben Kindel should obviously be the captain of that team

T-minus two hours until the TSN panel is stuck putting together Canada's 2034 Olympic roster

i'm going to be honest, i basically skipped that game, i hated it. Couldn't figure anything out, didn't like the departure to a side scroller. Unlike Mario 2 the huge change fell flat for me.

they made some intriguing hires (alexandra, namita) at the beginning which was exciting and then they've just botched everything from the expansion draft to now with a small window of fleeting success. They are a mess.

They nailed the branding, though

even zelda there's always some ridiculous thing that would make no sense to figure out on your own.

In the original you had to go in the right pattern in the woods to get to the cemetery and if a magazine didn't tell me i would have been permanently stuck

That isn't to say there aren't logical moves to be made that I would be totally OK with.

Making a Chinakhovesque trade
Trading Acciari
Trading Skinner
Trading Mantha if somebody bucks up big

Things I'm not OK with:

Trading for low end short term help
Trading for faceoff prowess
Vincent Trochek

I did it last year. Dave, Bernard, Michael

But Nintendo Power did the heavy lifting for me back in the day

What Should The Pens Be Doing At Deadline? - Hockey HotStove The trade deadline is fast approaching. Tomorrow the opportunity to improve your team for the playoffs will be closed. For the Penguins, what does that mean?

It would be fine if the Penguins did nothing today hockeyhotstove.com/what-should-...

I hate that trade with Winnipeg for Buffalo.

What about the Sabres says adding players with no puck skills is a fit?
