Not really sure about the fit here. He's a good player, but he's a small, right shooting, 31 years old winger who's under contract for 4 more seasons at 5.1 million AAV. I think I read yesterday that Rust was one of the Pens Dubas is refusing to move. Maybe SY called on him and Dubas refused?

kipwinger 8,554 Report post Posted March 5 The same articles states that Dubas has made clear he wants "premium prospects" (rather than picks) in any trades. LOL I bet he does. Dubas: Hello fellow GMs, just letting you all know the Pittsburgh Penguins are open for business and ready to make the most of the trade deadline. Just a reminder, I'm only really interested in the best prospects you have in your farm systems. GMs: Okaaaay, well what do YOU have to trade. Dubas: Well I've got injured forty goal scorer Jake Guentzel on an expiring contract. GMs: ....crickets... Dubas: Oh...um...not your flavor huh? You'd prefer someone with term eh? How about 33 year old former All-star Erik Karlsson? He's got term. Three more seasons...cough...at $11.5 million dollars...cough cough. GMs:.... Dubas: Alright, no takers eh? Well surely you'd be willing to trade your premium prospects for Marcus Pettersson right? He's young, has term and a manageable cap hit, and he on pace to have a career best season with 30...uhhhh...30 points. Definitely worth one of your top guys no? GMs: Look, I could use a little scoring and I'm feeling charitable. What would you take for Rust. I mean, he's injured and under contract until he's 40, but I'd like to win a Cup this year. Dubas: He's not for sale. GMs:... 2 13dangledangle and AtlantaHotWings reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casey Mid-lestadt does not move the needle much. 7 minutes ago, kipwinger said: Cheap option to do what? The job Shayne Gostisbehere is already doing perfectly well? We need guys than can defend. The return for Ghost would be way more than a 5th. You could get a good haul for him, then give up a 5th for DeAngelo. Seems like a good way to be buyers and sellers and still end up ahead.

kipwinger 8,554 Report post Posted March 5 I hadn't heard Casey Mittelstadt to Detroit rumors. Full disclosure I've always been a Mittelstadt guy so take what I say with a grain of salt...but...I like the idea. I watch a lot of Sabres games and I think he's really changed his game a lot. He plays hard and can be chippy. He's also a pretty solid two-way guy now. He's about to have a 60+ point season with Okposo and Skinner as his wingers. Give him some combinations of Kane, Dcat, and Raymond to play with that I really like what he could do. Larkin, Compher, Mittelstadt, and Veleno would be pretty solid center depth and you'd have two guys that can generate offense and two guys that can check. I'm here for it.

Axl Foley 232 Report post Posted March 5 2 hours ago, Troy McClure said: Okay now HERES the trade: To DET: Will Borgen To SEA: Berggren + 3rd Borgen is a 6'3" RHD that plays 4th spot for Seattle, 2nd unit PK, is 27, and locked up for another year at $2.7. Hes on pace for 30 pts with no PP time this year. Ive been a fan of this kid since his time in Buffalo. He could be really good for us here. Sell Holl to someone for a 7th and: Walman - Seider Chiarot - Borgen Ghost - Petry Maata It is with a heavy heart that I admit, and announce... the superstars are it again Ghost/Petry = 10 goals against Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
