This is very bad. Very very bad. But at least we didnt “mortgage” our future lol!!!!

If Pittsburgh was dead-set on getting a roster player back there was never a real chance it was gonna work with us. Guentzel makes a ton of sense for Carolina too considering they’ve got the room to extend him. Will be extremely annoying potentially facing him in the playoffs, but now we pivot that 1st+ over to Buchnevich and get a top RW for 2 runs instead of 1 at a ridiculously cheap cap hit.

Figured, they have more expendable assets than us

We have to go for buch!

I wonder how much the talks with the Rangers were only to drive up the price for Carolina.

Official from what you be seen. What is our final piece now??
Nickistheman22
I mean.. did we really need Guentzel anyway lol
Dig-Duglett
i’m all for preserving future assets but the rest of the east is loading up, we need to make a move.

Since when have teams traded for a too forward like Guentzel and win the cup? It sucks he goes to Canes but we have no idea how this works out for them.
lol what a joke of us not going for it While all other cup contending teams will be firing on all cylinders We will be leaning forward on our coaches yelling SHOOOT as Mika twirls around and makes snow angles

Im glad he is not coming to us with the rumoured asking price.
I would prefer to go and get someone like Tuch and use 1st plus Othmann+ . A strong player with term that we could extend.

Are we cooked
iVoyager9404
That really hurts. He’s the difference maker we needed.
Drury has to do something to counter the Canes and Panthers
trpjnf
I am glad we did not overpay for him
Environmental_Suit68
It’s pathetic how mis managed this organization is that finally when a player that you desperately need to help your offense becomes available you can’t make the trade for him.
obvioussponge06
Sorry but we’re not getting Buch either. He’d cost multiple 1sts and probably Schneider too just based on the value he commands, and there’s 0 chance Drury does that.
He’ll either budge on Vatrano or go cheap and get someone aggressively mid
Vast-Act112
Duclair sounds nice
bobby_booch
At this point just swoop in and grab Duclair for a 5th round pick or something. Seems like nobody’s talking about him.

Sucks that he’s going to Carolina, but all things considered, it sucked trading away Tony Amonte in ’94. Yes, we did win a cup, but getting rid of prospects/young players who may (or may not) pan out for a pure rentals is ludicrous. There’s 100x more parity in the NHL, and any team can win a Stanley Cup, and honestly who knows if Guentzel moves the needle enough? He’s coming off LTIR on Sunday; there’s a chance he isn’t 100%, there’s a chance he would be the next Eric Staal here. After decades of absolute clusterfuckery of upper management trading away draft capital and prospects for “win now” players, I’m okay with them not overpaying.

Please Drury. Do something. Wennberg alone does not move the needle.

For Bunting, a guy that’s been passed around more than a $2 whore in Queens
Sailor_Chris
Not gonna cry over missing out on a mid player that Carolina probably overpaid for
VALIS666
Guentzel is/was the best one out there, but I prefer a winger with at least 24-25 on the books. The RW for the BFFs is a problem every year, so why not try to kill two birds with one stone when you’re giving up pretty big assets? No one else is ready for that slot.

Vatrano or Duclair left. Who do you want?

Yeah we might be fucked if Philly doesn’t help us out round 1

we’re about to go “all in” with a rental of Frank Vatrano aren’t we…?

Pretty done deal. All the major NHL insiders have it, Bunting was scratched by Carolina before the game.
It’s a done deal

Good. Glad we didn’t pay the price, especially to the fucking Pens.
