Holy shit we fleeced them
A HUGE win for us. Wow
Don cooked with oil, gas, AND gravy holy shit
GRAND THEFT RENTAL
Edit: hate to see Pono go cause we need depth at C but ayo fuck we’re committed to the SCF
Edit 2: WE STILL HAVE THE SPACE AND TRADE BAIT TO GO AFTER BUCHNEVICH
No Nikishin, no Morrow, no Blake, and potentially no 1st. Huge W.
DON HIT A HOME RUN
I literally cannot believe those are the prospects we are giving up. This seems like a really good deal for us
Don fucking cooked
Dude
We’ll always have the first game for Pono. But holy shit we didn’t give up Morrow, Blake or Nadeau. And the first is conditional. Wow
lol damn that’s it? Let’s go shopping again tomorrow
No Morrow, Nadeau or FUS? LETS GO
Feel bad about Bunts, but at least he’s not getting dumped, Dubas wanted him.
The East’s worst nightmare: Raleigh with more than one scoring option.
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
I NEVER SHOULD HAVE DOUBTED THE DON
LMAO THESE MOTHER FUCKERS WERE TRYING TO SAY MORROW AND BLAKE GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE
I’ll miss Ponomarev but this is a fleecing
Big dick Donnie strikes again

We got Ty Smith!!!!!!!!!
I gotta be honest I know we cooked but I’m just absolutely devastated we lost Pono, he’s been my favorite prospect for 4 years
DONS COOKING
GIMME ONE MORE TRADE TOMORROW BOY
As a fan, this has been a joyous day.
* 2 brady goals
* Won vs habs
* Got Freddie back
* **GOT GUENTZEL**
What is Dubas thinking??
Koivunen will be interesting to follow but lfg we got freaking Jake guentzel
Holy fuck this is so good. No one could have predicted this because Don is the goat.
We kept our best and got exactly what needed
Obviously I’ll miss bunting and Pono but this looks like a great deal for us. Let’s hope Guentzel pans out
Holy fuck let’s goooooooooo
Imagine thinking Don Waddell and Eric Tulsky were going not going to win a trade in the most extreme fashion
I’ll miss Bunting. And Pono, he scored in his only game, and was pretty good in that game.
WOOOOOOOO! We finally went big at the deadline. Huge addition
Koivunen is being underrated by some here. He is at a PPG in Liiga. I think he will be an NHL player, maybe even a good one. But I still think we kept our top prospects
My Dixie wrecked
Is this what it feels like to win the trade deadline????
I love that we also got defensive prospect in this. Damn Don did good.
oh yeah forgot to mention, get your “Guentzel” and or “Jake n Bake” flair in the sidebar now
we got our goal scorer. now let’s go out and get some grit to replace bunting’s sandpaper and we’ll be absolutely loaded.
bring me buchnevich.
Cruz Lucious is the best name ever. Nice moved DW. Team played well tonight, will be great to get Jake the snake out there.
Pens fan coming in peace: I have not yet picked my jaw up off the floor that you guys kept Morrow, Blake, and Nadeau in this deal. I would be absolutely thrilled if I were you lol
Don heard us talking that shit
I don’t really get how people are calling this a fleece. I thinks that a pretty solid haul for Pittsburgh especially considering he’s a rental.
Hopefully we can get Guentzel signed to an extension. That will make this a really nice piece of work.
And we still have room for more 👀
