Who is Russo?...I think we end up with Murray and Nystrom.

Sorry, it's Michael Russo, Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Dallas is in the 8th spot, but given their prospect group, the playoffs aren't the "be-all, end-all" (this, according to their owner).

Either way, that's just a matter of moving Engelland to wing, problem solved there. I doubt the Blackhawks are looking lose to grit or make any roster subtractions considering their record. Even with the caveat that you mentioned, it just seems unnecessary to give a potential SC finalist NHL pieces.
They can't move Scuderi with Mitchell and Greene out of the lineup. Scuderi is already doing too much lifting for the team. They can't reasonably move him, IMO.
Yip is Kennedy but way, way worse. So, pass. Hannan blows, he's been lost for the last couple years it seems. If we're gonna go for someone like him, I'd rather take my chances on Regehr.

Obviously mean Brian Bickell not Stu, Brain cramp.
I like Yip, and he plays pretty well in the Nashville system. He is much larger than Kennedy and I would only think of him as 4th line. He is vastly better than Glass at creating something, anything.
I would prefer Glencross or Iginla for 3rd line duty, but the price may be very high. Regehr is another great target, but we will be bidding.
I'm just looking at guys who may not cost much and who could add to the 4th line in terms of energy and speed over Glass and a possible healthy scratch veteran D that may be preferable in small doses to having Bortuzzo in the Playoffs - especially since he has been sitting out for so long now.

Ha. The brain cramp is on my end, as I didn't even think about Bryan Bickell! I, for one, like Bryan Bickell, I think he'd be a good upgrade to this team, I love his shot. I don't think he's available at all. I think he's one of the better kept secrets in the NHL actually. Not a star by any means, but I like him as a complimentary depth player.
I've always hated Yip, I think he stinks. But maybe I'm just not giving him a fair chance. I don't see him as much of an upgrade on Glass personally, maybe his shooting...but not really worth acquiring...
I don't think GlenX gets moved, they like him there. But who knows...Calgary is horrendously managed.
And yeah, my responses aren't meant to put down the ideas, I'm just trying to give my opinion on the players or on behalf of the other teams because on a Penguins board, not too many people watch other teams and the West and all that (n'at?) so I'm just commenting for conversation...most of these players are good ideas, even if it's only because it's not Iginla/Clowe talk...

However, it's going to take at least an established NHL'er and 1st round pick.

Please make it easily searchable and allow for infinite "what-if" scenarios and cap implications. I have too much to do running this **** to scout Steve Begin......![]()
The Snapshot wrote:Mikey what do you think of Derek MacKenzie in Columbus for the 4th line role? I also think Boll can play a little more than the average enforcer, and once again - play a lot more than Glass.
