   For one, there is nothing specific in the report which means nothing as any NHL fan knows this. Two, Dubas has already sent memos out to the league about this. Three, how does a Montreal beat writer have sources with the Penguins? Doubt it is a remotely reliable source.

   The Pens are going to need a good stretch between now and the deadline to salvage a shot.

   rackelle is as good as gone boys, he is having a nice season and is an attractive piece for a contender ! rumor has it that the pens held rackelle out in LA. for that reason

   Get Karlsson out of there ASAP!! The stint with the Blues did PO years of good.
   Drop Peterson and goals against will go way up.

   Erik Karlsson talk. Saying is he even giving us an offensive defense man?
   Now you randomly diss Erik Karlsson when he is known for offense. EK65 is 9th in the league among dmen with 28 assists and 10th in points with 32 points. Erik Karlsson is 1st on the Pens among dmen with 32 points. Grzelcyk is 2nd with 25 points including 24 assists. Letang has fallen off a cliff and only has 18 points. Maybe you should mention EK65's importance and compare him to Letang and his peers before disrespecting him.

    This would be another idiotic move by Dubas, the issue has been goal tending since we lost Fluery and Murray. Notice how other teams like The New York Rangers have a top goaltender and the my still proceeded to go out and pick up Quick as a backup. Thats because they’re making real moves to contend. And goalie has been the glaring issue, along with losing some depth at forward and d men. Since Dubas has taken over, he’s done nothing to help this team win. He’s picked up and traded for garbage. Just like the chokehold put on the end of Big Bens career, they’re trying to do it with the core group. As soon as new ownership and management entered the building. This team has gone to shit. Little fun fact, a few guys have no trade/no move clauses on there contracts. So the only way to get them off of the team is essentially to force them out anyway possible. The ones in charge obviously don’t think the core group can contend for a championship. Trading away Rakell would equally as dumb as trading away Guentzel and more evidence of an attempt to dismantle this team.

    Hate to say it, but the Pens can play well,but frankly there are far too many teams between them and the final wild card other thems will be fighting also. Just too many hills to climb.if it was 3 teams max,id say maybe but its much more than that

    Ain't no fire sale with nothing to sell. Offload what you can, but outside of Marcus and Rakell, who's gunna fetch a return worth writing home about?
