Not having to give up Morrow or Nikishin was huge
EMILY WITH "RALEIGHWOOD"
Good luck in Carolina Jake!
Forever a Penguin 😢💛
given the 1st is conditional on making the Cup final, this seems like a massive underpay!
Didn't have to give up Necas. Total win.
I swear to god we better win this year. People don’t realize we have 4 top 9 forwards and 2 top 4 defenseman players that are ufa/rfa looking for more money. after this year regardless of what happens, i feel like we won’t be the same team we’ve been in the last 6 seasons so this signing better get us over the hump
March 8,2024 Traded Again Moved to Vegas Golden Knights Soon 10:00am Carolina is Wrong Team
God I hate John Henry
I don’t think Guentzel is a rental, that’s just not how Waddell runs his stuff. Also Teravainen and Pesce cap hit will be gone in the summer
It’s not really a horrible trade. The prospects are young and solid players. Unbelievably sad, some of my best Pens memories are around #59 but it’s time to move on. Wish we could’ve nailed a solidified 1st round pick but other than that, decent return. More moves coming tomorrow 👀 Wish Jake more cups, always a Pen 🐧
So the Pens could have signed Bunting as a UFA last offseason and passed, only to trade their best winger for him within the division? Sounds stupid. F Dubas, he trades for a "Leaf". Simply sign Jake Guentzel instead of this garbage. Instead of picking up an A prospect Dubas gets 3 B level prospects and gives up Ty Smith. More players instead of a good player. Instead of a 1st round pick Dubas gets a 2nd. PENS = FLEECED! Remember Dubas traded for Reilly Smith instead of signing UFA Bunting over summer. YIKES!
A girl talking sports is the most ignorant thing. Go make babies
Emily is one of the best!
It's kind of weird how you can trade human beings in sports. It's like "We don't like you anymore. We're gonna uproot your entire life and make you move somewhere else whether you want to or not."
Glad the Rangers didn't make that trade, that price was ridiculous. Othman & Perrault will be good players going forward.
I would do just about anything to walk around that ESPN studio
It was the most dumbest trade ever…pen get a 1st round if nc..makes it to the Stanley cup..lmfao..no way..pens lost out on this trade
