You're the GM: Part 3

Pens likely to stay with 3-center model

I would take this more seriously from Molinari....The usual Rossi caveats apply.

Idk, seems more like Rossi just questioning Shero's ability to draft than anything.

Agreed and it's from Rossi remember

[sil]

Well, let's say Bennett, Khunhackel, Despres and Morrow (plus some other late pick) develop well and play for the pens...Rossi will probably be the first person to write about how much faith he's always had in Shero.

i skimmed that article and didn't see any quotes. goody - i love when rossi pretends like he's capable of actual hockey analysis

Staal and Martin for Edmonton's 1st would be fantastic

[IanMoran]

I'm the GM

Keep the team as close to what it was this year as possible.

Slight tinkering

This roster is loaded... losing to a really good team in 6 games doesn't change that

Unless they throw in Shultz, I'm not taking that deal.

Looking like crap in all 4 losses should rock the boat.

I'm glad Ray Shero is in charge and not LGP

You don't just "Rock the boat" to "rock the boat"

We aren't going to win the cup every year

Sorry guys

Really? Nick Schultz is going to solve our problems?

How exactly does Yakupov help our defense?

Better yet:

How does trading our best 2-way forward and a d-man help our defense?

If anything, trade with MTL or NYI and grab Ryan Murray.

Or Columbus and get whoever you decide to trade (if it ever actually happens) out of the conference.

Apparently we want Martin to stay in the conference!

I honestly don't think we're going to win the cup as top-heavy as we currently are, especially since we lack a real shutdown pair of defenders.

Who said Schultz was going to solve our problems? Staal and Martin for the first overall is plain and simple overpayment.

But you think Nick Schultz will make it not be overpayment?

Still a risk (based on just not knowing for sure how good a player will be...will Yakupov be like Kovy, Malkin, Datsyuk...or will be be like Zherdev?), but it's much closer to even value than just giving away two proven NHL players for a single draft pick.

I think what I'm trying to say is I think you're over-valuing Nick Schultz. I'd definitely want more than him if I were trading Staal and Martin for the 1st and him.

Gotcha. Well, there's really nothing else that EDM will part with (except maybe Hemsky...and that kills the cap again for a perimeter player), so I guess we're hoping that Yakupov is a generational talent at that point.

You could just not trade either of them to Edmonton and look for other suitors or a way to fit everyone under the cap.

You know I try not to get involved with the PGH sports media people, most of them never really bothered me. I enjoy listening to Madden because he does entertain and usually has great Pens coverage. (The Shero interview at the end of the year was good) However over the last few weeks I've really disliked Rossi

-Pens are the Atlanta Braves comment on twitter. Just stupid in my opinion. Lets talk about a 5 year stretch and compare it to a different sports team in a different sport entirely over the spand of 17 years...
-Looked Staal right in the face and asked him about him possibly leaving. The guy still has a year on his deal, we don't know the CBA yet, its almost like he wants Staal to ask for a trade just so he can report it first.

Disgusting.

I don't care if you have to pay the big 3, 25M combined. You do it and play them with scrubs, because they can still score 4G a game with scrubs.

It's the defense, MAF being overused/shakey/typical MAF letting in softies, system/getting out coached.

Those 3 way way way more of the problem over our offense. Our offense doesnt need touched. Maybe refresh the 4th line thats it.

unreal
