I’m so happy he is gone he was never good once as a penguin. So happy Rutherford is gone so we don’t trade 1st rounders on players like
Him anymore
He was lousy for us Pens fans or improperly used by Sullivan..
L for da pens not jus because they lost of a top 6 top 9 player but because they didn’t get anything back for him I would have waited till deadline before throwing him on waivers. Like watch him pop off with St. Louis lmaoooo
If you have watched pens games you know this is good
rutherford traded a 1st for kapanen 3 years ago lol
kapanen is absolute garbage he deserves to be in the minors, he's been an embarrassment for months
change of scenery is always good.
Patrick Kane is getting traded
Penguins are falling apart 😂
The presenter is truly an expert in their field. 👨🎓
Blues fan, Berube hasn't said Buchnevich has underperformed, said he's one of handful that has performed. He's at point per game.
Almost comical… Berube calls out some players as overpaid fatcats so to speak, so the Blues go out and get Kapanan, who fits that mold perfectly lol. I'm sure Berube is thrilled that he's coming to St Louis. But wait.. there's more… Kapanan has another year on his deal after this season. I'm betting Blues fans will dislike him within a month.
In his last game against Blues Kapanen did Hat trick…
Berube was talking about Thomas and kyru the most buch is fine
The problem is that he never played with crosby or malkin. He was always stuck with a terrible center.
Cadsbury was always wet garbage.
Well mcginn and carter are a lot worse. Shouldve focused on getting rid of them first cause now theyll need to fill 3 spots
Something is really screwy in St Louis if Thomas said something like that. He's been the most lackluster, under performers lately on this team. His back checking is also atrocious. And I'm a Thomas fan. Like said – screwy
Hope he works out. Maybe a fresh start is just what he needs.
Blues fan, I am stoked, it's alot to pay for next year if he fizzles outp but his upside cld be great. If he plays a mid 6 role and contributes and plays hard that alk we can ask
