So Pittsburghs solution to their horrible defense is to get a project center?

It’s the Oilers model- outscore your defensive woes.

4th round picks are the currency for failed (or at least downward trending 1st round picks -- see Podkolzin).

 

NAS freeing up more cap... Trouba?

That was my first thought 

 

Given the news out of New York a quick trade wouldn't surprise me

Wouldn't be surprised, On paper Nash has all the right tools...Maybe a lil' shakeup is needed.

I'm seeing a Carrier for Trouba swap.  Shake up for both teams.

They're going full Dubas.  This is what happens when you hire a GM who has zero understanding of the sport.

He shoulda brought Brendan with him

I see a lot of similarities in where we were at the tail end of the Sedins career, to where the pens are now. Locked in to nmc on several underperforming players, only have a couple players playing decently and management thinking they can spurn a rebuilding with acquiring young talent without addressing core issues of the team.

Trouba… my ideal D pick up!  Launder half his salary through someone to have him for 50%.

 

His wife is almost done her residency, so he may be more open to being apart for what will now only be a few months.  He gets to play with the reigning Norris winner as an enticement.

If the cost wasn't outrageous we could certainly do worse

have to think there's a No Canada clause in that 15 team list of his. But maybe he'd waive to play with Hughes?

 

It would have to be quite the 3 way deal tho, some how get CHI to retain 1/2 on Trouba, and also take Forbort, Vinnie and Hogs while NYR gets ? 

 

Dunno how it would work for us but it would be an interesting one.

Yeah, pretty sure I recall him not wanting to play in Canada.

Lord knows Vancouver (and all BC) could use another Dr.

 

I like the thought very much. Footie as a D coach would be a draw, you'd think. They're quite similar players no?

Trouba is a shitty person from what it seems like. Hard pass.


I have heard nothing of the sort from any source.  Was there reporting of stuff like that?

 

All I have seen is that he is the kind of guy you hate to play against but love to be on your team.

 

He has been put in a really tough position as captain when the organization is publicly trying to trade him.  Being a lame duck leader is bad mojo for any team, and not on him specifically.
