  1. Perhaps, but it's a bit different closer to the deadline The runours, signings, reports, speculation, ect are what give us content to discuss in this part of CFF
  2. Dallas is a scary central team, no doubt, Tanev could put them over the top
  3. You'd think Guentzel would garner Pittsburgh a similar return to Lindholm, if not better based on his production
  4. Dubas doesn't have a choice outside of opting not to extend him, which is likely a non-starter coming from above As of three days ago https://theathletic.com/5286060/2024/02/19/penguins-guentzel-crosby-future-trade-deadline/ Will the Penguins’ decision regarding Guentzel, either before or after the trade deadline, influence Crosby’s decision to recommit to Pittsburgh? “No,” Crosby said. “Obviously, it’s a big decision for both sides. That’s something that’s out of my control. But I don’t think that affects how I view things. “I’m not even thinking about extensions.” One thing that hasn’t changed: Crosby only wants to play for the Penguins his entire career. “Yeah,” he said. “I’ve said that forever. But right now I’m trying to focus on getting into the playoffs.”
  5. Would it really be an NHL trade deadline period without Vegas being able to add because of injuries?
  6. Teams give up 1sts for rentals every year Dallas makes a lot of sense, their biggest weak spot is probably RD and bringing in Tanev makes their already solid defensive team stronger I'm assuming whoever trades for him also tries to extend him as well, so he may very well not be a rental Benn, Seguin, and Pavelski aren't getting any younger, Dallas has a window now
  7. With Chris Tanev, the Flames continue to hold and see if a first-rounder (or something they consider comparable) becomes available. Dallas is very much into this, although some teams suspect they like Hanifin, too. Others: Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver. Colorado’s been in and out, as have others. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/32-thoughts-will-kyle-dubas-shake-up-the-pittsburgh-penguins/ Lightning are also linked to Hanifin, who is expected to be shipped to the US
  8. This is bait, you're being baited, you know who you are https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2850473/report-blues-listening-on-buchnevich-not-shopping-him St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich has been generating a modest amount of trade buzz in recent weeks, but general manager Doug Armstrong isn't actively shopping him, a source told The Athletic's Jeremy Rutherford. Armstrong is reportedly willing to listen to offers for Buchnevich, but the Blues would need to be wowed by the return to seriously consider making a move. Buchnevich has totaled 19 goals and 43 points in 53 games this campaign and is on track for his fourth consecutive 20-goal season. Only five of his tallies have come at five-on-five, but he's generated almost nine individual expected goals in those situations, according to Natural Stat Trick. He has one more year remaining on his current deal with a $5.8-million cap hit. Buchnevich will be 30 years old once it expires. The versatile Russian winger would have some control over any potential deal thanks to his 12-team no-trade list. St. Louis underwent a major fire sale last season, parting ways with Vladimir Tarasenko, Ryan O'Reilly, and Ivan Barbashev. Even with that mass exodus, the Blues are challenging for a playoff spot this campaign. They currently occupy the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference, though they're a distant 13 points behind the Winnipeg Jets for third place in the Central Division despite playing one more game. Armstrong recently reiterated his hesitance to undergo a full rebuild in an interview with The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun. "I know in our market - and I've talked to our ownership group about it, and I get their guidance on it - I don't think our fan base deserves or wants to be part of an eight-to-10-year rebuild," the executive explained. The Blues have gone 16-10-1 under interim head coach Drew Bannister since he replaced Craig Berube in mid-December. Their .611 points percentage is the 12th best in the league over that span. Next up for Buchnevich and St. Louis is a clash against the New York Islanders on Thursday.
  9. Maybe, but as impressive a career as Kane had Crosby, Malkin, Letang, and Mario saved the Penguins There were dark days in Chicago because of dollar bill Wirtz, but I don't know if things had gotten quite so bad that they were at risk of relocating like the Pens I'm in the same boat on the twins, it'd have been wrong for them to go elsewhere, just as it'd be wrong for those guys to not be Pens It's rare, but sometimes a franchise gets a superstar player worth keeping their entire career, Pens hit the jackpot and had four of them (Fluery) who could have fit into that bracket all playing together
  10. Sometimes legacy goes beyond the present roster, it'd be criminal for him to wear another jersey Anyone not named Crosby, Malkin, and Letang is likely available, that's the core It's amazing what they've accomplished together It's like the keep the twins in Vancouver argument, except this trio won championships and drove a modern day dynasty
  11. Houston might be heating up https://www.chron.com/sports/article/tilman-fertitta-nhl-houston-18680051.php
  12. Canucks fans knew before the season began that management would try and work out a deal with Pettersson and that it'd cost 10M+ We've known that since last season, but nobody knows what the actual numbers being bandied about are
