Number19 159 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Idk I've always had a fascinating with him, and even at 40 he'd still help. I like him too but I don't think we're one veteran away from making a push, we've tried that with Alfie and in theory Modano. We need to address issues that are more core to the team like revamping the defense. But If he came cheap I woudn't complain.

TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Franson and Green are still floating around out there. Must be some serious bids going on. Really hope we land Green. But I wouldn't mind Franson. He doesn't bring as much to the table as Green but he's young and would be a solid d-man to add to the mix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightfall 871 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) https://twitter.com/MolinariPG/status/616288829054562304 Dave Molinari @MolinariPG Sporsnet reports Penguins have acquired Kessel. Personally, I think this is a great move. They needed another guy to compliment Crosby and Malkin. If you shut those power two players down, it was hard for the Pens to beat you. Now, with Kessel, its tougher. Provided he can get back up to where he was before he slumped. Edited July 1, 2015 by Nightfall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All well and good, but Holland said so himself that players have been taking less money to go elsewhere. We offered Boyle AND Erhoff more money last year and they still went to different teams.

Nightfall 871 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 All well and good, but Holland said so himself that players have been taking less money to go elsewhere. We offered Boyle AND Erhoff more money last year and they still went to different teams. Both players went to their respective teams due to family living in the respective cities. A story about Boyle revealed such when it was written last year. I believe Erhoff took the offer with Washington because his mom and dad moved there a year prior, but I can't remember the story entirely off the top of my head. Point is that it makes sense why a free agent would want to move closer to family instead of taking more to move further away from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
