Obviously Canucks won this trade. What are you really yapping about?
The canucks found their pieces with DOC as the forechecking / penalty killing forward and a shutdown defender in M Petey… this take was so biased, y’all clearly didn’t get jack shit for the return, stop it 😅
I wish you would have broken down the trade tree from Sprong-Petterson- etc.
We'll just have to see if this trade brings any benefits to the Pens. Honestly, I'm all in on a complete rebuild…… Clean house and start all over again with a young, energetic group of players, a new coach and hopefully exciting hockey. Crosby would be the only player I'd keep.
The Vancouver Penguins thank you for Marcus Pettersson and taking Desharnais off our books 😃
Fernstrom is your ace in the hole . He will be a solid third liner maybe 45 to 55 point guy .
Always love the coverage Nick but Desharnais is not the kind of player you're selling him on. He will absolutely drop the gloves with just about anyone, yes, but i don't think the guy has thrown a big hit in his entire career. His size during the play is a complete non-factor.
I Hope the Pens get rid of Graves next, even if its for a 3rd round pick, then I'll feel a little bit better there will still be Penguins in Pittsburgh next year & the year after. Otherwise, Du(m)bas(s) is gonna keep beating down the roster just like he did in Toronto & God only know whats going to happen. Maybe the Pens move to Arizona. God help us all.
You will want Desharnais to play with Croz thats guy takes 0 bad penalties and 0 giveways
I hope you realise that the pens are going to be a horrible team for the next decade.
you are bottom of the league and instead of signing the only two way defenceman you have, you trade him away.
ok so you have a first rnd pick.
WHEN does that come good?
2030?
if ever!
this team is going to so get shelled.
crosby must be so angry for being lied to.
malkin is toast.
letang is almost done.
Dubas is so clueless.
you don't have to trade away your current team in order to rebuild. look at how long the canadiens have been rebuilding. they are still not in the playoffs. and they have a smart gm!
Now sell karlsson, graves and hayes, dumb letang and malkin
Pit good luck with big dumb def lol
Crosby gonna leave colorada seem tempting
Jim Rutherford loves trading 1st round picks like they are nothing. Basically the Rangers 1st round pick for Marcus Pettersson. The salaries are a wash. MP is $4.025,175AAV. Desharnais is $2AAV and Heinen is $2.25AAV. Both have 1 year deals and Desharnais can be traded next deadline as he is a big right shot defense man. No Nils Hoglander, Keifer Sherwood, Dakota Joshua, Elias Pettersson dman, or any other top prospect. No talk on Hoglander by anyone is odd.
The biggest piece in this tradevis the first round pick 😂😂
Here we go again . Trade the D – Men and pick up more Forwards and another Ex – Pen that they didn't want in the first place . Next these U – Tubers will be crying about how horrible the D is . Rinse and Repeat .
A great trade for vancouver!
"Nieto can jump in the lineup if you need another PKer" He's played almost every game since he came back, hasn't he?
1st Round ? Pens will trade it away anyway .
If Dubas is involved in a trade, it’s a bad deal. Worst GM in the league at evaluating talent.
Dufus has too go
Rutherford knows Petterson and got the guy he wanted. OConner fills the hole left by Joshua's unfortunate injury.
2026 draft is better, I hope the Rangers keep that pick this year , Rangers are getting old and could be a team that can give you a lottery Pick in 2026 , Pens win that with the Rangers pick , they get there next Crosby , with Gavin McKenna.
This Podcaster is on drugs 😅😅. Dude wake up
Views are not everything
So much for getting Hoglander
I believe Heinen is better than O'Connor and the Canucks didn't see the best from Dejardie, he was better in Edmonton. He's only been in the league a few years and with some grooming he'll be better! And he's huge and tough!!! Our goalies will love him!
Horrible trades 🤦🏻♂️
You are right when you say “Desharnais will be ‘sitting’ on the 3rd pair”. Dude is a pylon that is always out of position. He’s gonna drive you crazy.
hatw to tell ya but vinny for his size is very weak minded, theres a reason he was shipped out of a rick tocchet system that prioritizes physicality and size, not saying he cant grow into using his size more but im just gonna warn yall, he doesnt atm
The first rounder wasn’t just because of Marcus, it was the cost to also offload Desharnais and Heinen off the Canucks books for this year and next. Hope they end up playing better for you guys
4k,subscribers?if I was a Penguin fan I’d know this was a lousy trade for them,the two players your getting back from the Canucks are in a word inconsistent,Canucks in their part was trying to get rid of a huge contract of Miller,he then made this trade with Penguins dangling that 1st round draft pick they got from the Rangers,I don’t know how u could get so excited over this trade
I’m glad you like the trade. 🥴
I love the optimism and positivity you bring to the trade discussion, but I almost fell off my chair when you said heinen it’s gonna help the penguins offensively😅
homie is talking like this is a fleece, We gave you Heinen (who did not much for us) and Desharnais who was a liability at best. Thanks
How is this guy excited for these guys lol they are terrible
Went to the preds and pens game, and i thought Desharnais looked solid in his limited role
You know were only 1 trade away from being a contender, and we keep cro mal let karl, rust, rak…..
What do you think? Draft picks for ??? I think go for it!!! And bring the flower back 🌹
A+
