[Rumour] Garland to Pittsburgh

[Captain insano]

Gar for ned is laughable, our best 5v5 per 60 producer for a backup tendy give me a break, add Marcus Pettersson and we have a conversation started

Pettersson would be such a nice add for obvious reasons. But I just want to have as many Peteys as we can get...

Lucas Pettersson would be a nice add to the team. 
Fostered in the same team that the Sedins and Gradin came from.

 

But we need one more

Lol pretty much.

 

If it was Canucks fans it would be Garland and a 1st for Crosby at 50%…

Raymond Ballard and a second for Crosby .... got a bit of flak for being "unrealistic" at the time, so changed it to a first. 

 

Joking aside, it's still fun when someone has the cajone's to make a proposal, some of the things Alvin's managed didn't seem "realistic" either.

I could see a rental situation with Crosby. Then maybe straight back to Pittsburgh or play for his childhood team

 

Crosby is too pure and devoted to Pittsburgh. I don't see him chasing a cup anywhere else.

And they'd better be taking poolmans ir too

[SnakeDoctor]

I would rather keep Garland. Trade him at the deadline if needed but with 2 years left on his deal he still has lots to prove for his next contract if he wants to keep the pay level.  That should keep him focused on his game.

He's said he's not interested in playing anywhere else for years. He said so earlier this spring, and just this week he expressed confidence in a deal getting done before the season; it'll probably come with term, and the term will probably be dictated by how long he wants to keep playing, it's hard to see the Penguins giving him anything less. 

 

The fact people keep bringing up the possibility of him playing elsewhere at this point is silly.

That's where most of the end up. Good place for them too.

He's 28.  He's likely done with the "improving". He is what he is at this point.  A small,high energy player who's good for 50ish points. Nothing to sneeze at to be sure. 

[snowman955]

Is Garland worth more? Can anyone name a better third line in the league? That 3rd line is our meat line. No fear,relentless and dangerous. When we need to replace any or all of the 3rd things will fall into place.

I know the keyword you used was 'likely' and I'm not meaning to pick anything you said apart. It's good to be realistic; however, to put things into perspective, Miller was 26 when he was traded over to the Canucks. The years leading up to now were huge for his development. I get that 26 and 28 is still a difference, but Garland could still very much improve, especially given his work ethic.

 

Yes, Garland and Miller's game is quite different, with some similarities. I'm not meaning to put them as equals. That said, Garland has had his best year as a Canuck and it's not out of the realm of possibility that he could do even better.

Not out of the realm of possibilities, but not likely at this point

Perhaps at the TDL if we have enough cap accrued, we can trade Garlund and Poolman to Pitts for Crosby as a rental.

If we cannot re-sign Crosby I am sure Pens do in July?

Offers for a Crosby rental will be MUCH better than Garland + LTIR Poolman.

So dumb

I suppose it depends if Pitts has any chance. But when it gets down to it Crosby would likely prefer:

1. A canadian team with a chance to win it all

2. Not Toronto

3. An "underdog" team that has the pieces

4. A coaching and Management staff he can trust to let him go back to Pens as a UFA in July.

5. A team that allows him to beat McDavid, McInnon, and possibly Matthews in the same playoff run

2. Not Toronto --- Says who?

3. An "underdog" team that has the pieces --- Says who?

4. A coaching and Management staff he can trust to let him go back to Pens as a UFA in July. --- This is Crosby's decision anyway.

5. A team that allows him to beat McDavid, McInnon, and possibly Matthews in the same playoff run --- Again, who says this is even remotely important to Crosby?

 

Only Crosby knows. The only thing he has said is that he wants to re-sign with the Pens.

Or maybe he'd want to play for his childhood favourite team. Or maybe he'd want to play with his buddy MacKinnon.  You can make arguments for a few teams but at the end of the day he's given no indication that he's interested in leaving Pittsburgh

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we have a better chance of landing Bing Crosby and he’s been dead since 1977.

 

Let the Sidney Crosby playing for the Canucks delusions die.

Yea but on the same note, does he want to end his career this way? Rumours are Malkin is done after this season, the rest of the team is washed up, nothing really promising on the horizon. It’s going to be pretty ugly. At least at the TDL, it’s a short stint, it gives back to the organization and he can come right back and sign like nothing happened.

[CanuckMan]

Crosby just signed for 2 more years. Thankfully that puts to rest the ridiculous trade proposals. He was never going to come here or go anywhere else. He will retire a penguin.
