The Only player in that deal to the Pens that was apart of the future was possibly Esposito. Do you see Christensen or Colby being part of the core group????
And the Pascal Dupuis 3 SHG this season.. That's what I'm talkin about.. He's obviously pretty good on the PK. Now take a look at where the Pens rank in penalty killing this year..
Next question....

Armstrong was crosby's best friend and roommate, but didn't produce that much offense. Christensen was our sniper and shoot out guy, I'm more upset about him leaving, but he wasn't a huge goal scorer like hossa so it's kind of a trade-off. We don't know hossa's contract status yet, but jonesi's right, dupuis def adds to the PK so it's a fair trade i guess

What kind of numbers/impact did Cristensen and Armstrong have. Both were fairly young right?
And give the Pens a break, it was their first kick at the can. I just hope they didn't screw up team chemistry.

I haven't heard Shero yet. So no clue..
Christensen.. Soft.. Weak.. Strong points.. Money on the Shootout. Best shot I've seen in a Long time.
Colby - He's just Colby. And has always been Sids teammate. No one wants to see Colby go.
I believe both of their contracts are up at the end of the year..

No. Both need to get out of the comfy environment and see what they can do. Especially Christensen, he's gifted has all the talent but no motivation or strength.

Not a peep out of Jersey. Interesting.
At this point, I'd want to play Ottawa first round, that team is a mess.

That deal is sounding better and better if you're a Pens fan.

They'll still finish with more points than the Hawks.

Just saw on the news, Shero has been delayed for some reason. All I hear is reporters talking through the live link.. Some interesting and retarded shit..

Agreed....
Let's not forget the Avs strengthening the Defense.

Problem is (although it is a good problem to have) what are the Kings going to do with 14 picks?
I can't see them drafting 14 players. They should....& I hope they do trade some picks away.

My other winner for today are the Caps: getting Huet for a 2nd rounder was a steal IMO.

Yo, Waldorf...are you happy or ranting that your team gave the Quacks J-S Aubin for a bag of peanuts...?

I think all of us can answer that question as he's played for the Pens, Leafs and Kings..
Answer is happy.. Bonus pick..

We only signed him for a 1-year contract...at least we go something for him
I'm surprised Burke even offered a 7th.

plus Sergei Fedorov for some veteran leadership

It's his Russian leadership.. Obviously you don't speak Russian.

Fawkln Sundin. I would have taken Espisito straight up for Mats. I'm sure Pitt would have made that deal as well.
The good news is Fletcher is pissed. A big house cleaning coming for the Leafs. Buyouts for everyone!

No doubt. Although we really really don't need anymore true centers. Which is part of the reason Patrick Roy is playing Esposito at wing instead of center this year. Scoring winger was def a need.
Anyone seen FDL? Is he ok?
Senior Moderator
Haven't seen him around. When was he last on?
Senior Moderator
Is Esposito really that great of a HR prospect...? He's not exactly lighting it up this year playing for the Remparts, is he...?

The Caps have three young Russians on the team. Boudreau found it very useful to use Semin to talk to Ovechkin, OV's English isn't that good. Fed will make that even better.

Its better than getting nothing. Which is exactly what the Leafs are getting for Sundin.
