Coconuts Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Easier said than done, they have vets but the Kings were lousy enough to build a very good prospect pool LA's top tier vets were also younger then than Pittsburgh's vets are now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they'll try for the playoffs, I just don't think they'll be moving picks much going forward Their core is too good for them to bottom out despite being on the older side, the Pens roster is closer to being built to compete than tank as a whole If they can get their powerplay figured out they could make it next season, it really cost them this go round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Just now, Bob Long said: then I don't understand the LA comp. It's not a good comp, Doughty and Kopitar were both closer to 30 as the Kings had their few lousy seasons They also made some savvy trades and UFA signings in Danault, Fiala, and Gavrikov, amongst others The Dubois trade hasn't looked great this season but that could still change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably trying to paint an optimistic picture The Penguins organization is due for some pain, it'll probably be a lengthy process Tampa's time will come too, probably sooner than later Stamkos is 34, Kucherov is 31 in June, Hedman will be 34 in December, Vasi will be 30 in July Cupboards are largely empty, trading picks like candy will hit em eventually Edited April 19 by Coconuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/nhl/ryan-johansen-is-unlikely-to-play-again-in-the-nhl/ar-AA1nk0Bs?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=84b65d8044c3435eb5a693238206e2c4&ei=50 " In a surprising note from talking to the media on Friday afternoon, Philadelphia Flyers GM Daniel Briere said that forward Ryan Johansen’s NHL career could be over. “All I can tell you is I don’t expect him to be back,” Briere said, in a quote transcribed by Philadelphia Hockey Now’s Jon Bailey. “I don’t know, exactly, the situation. We’re dealing on the medical side with him. ------ The 31-year-old forward registered 13 goals and 23 points in 63 games, putting him on pace for just 30 points in a full 82-game slate. Johansen has scored at least 60 points five times in a season over his career, highlighted by a 71-point season with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2014-15. He has another year left on his $4 million deal. ---------------- mal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
