Not about that, are you not familiar with Justin Schultz? That's why I said Justin Schultz 2.0.

Perry won't want to sign with Anaheim, not new news there.

quote:
And if you trade with the Pens, what are you gonan get? The Pens' top prospects are all defensemen (hockey future ranks 4 of the Pens top 5 has D-men). You're gonna trade Corey f'n Perry for two AHL blueliners and a late 1st round pick?

That would be a homerun for them. The Pens are loaded in the farm with some of the top D prospects in the game and a 1st round pick would seal it since this draft is loaded deep.

quote:
Oh, while also telling your fanbase that you're not trying to win.

The same fanbase that has them near the very bottom in attendance despite their success?

quote:
I think the Pens trading for Perry is delusional.

Been rumored for a year straight now, so yeah. If the Pens offered the house at Parise, they can obviously sign Perry long term as well with 10 million in cap space to backload the contract.

But like I said, Pens are likely getting Alfredsson and they'll stop there.

I guess I should correct myself, Alfredsson makes more sense to me, but GM's are saying the Pens will get Jarome Iginla.

Who knows, Pens will definitely be adding a key player, that's for sure.

I'm familiar with Schultz, but that has nothing to do with this at all. If anything, it makes it even more imperative they try and sign Perry. Schultz never played a game for the Ducks or in their organization. He spurned their offer.

The fact they have declining attendance, again, helps my case, not yours. They can't alienate their tenuous fan support. First time in forever the team is good, and they are gonna waive the white flag? Ask the Marlins what that does to your franchise and fan support.

So.. the Ducks are unexpectedly in Stanley Cup contention, and you think they should ship off one of their best players to build for the future 3-4 years down the road (which I'm sure the fans will patiently wait for), just so the Pens can win? The Ducks are not your farm team.

Yep. Schultz ditched us. And we're the 2nd best team in the league right now. It didn't exactly ruin our franchise. The Ducks have a lot of talent on the roster. That's why I said I'm not worried if Perry leaves. Cogliano is quickly becoming a beast. Granted, the now looks a lot better than the later for the Ducks. Soon we'll lose the veteran leadership of Teemu and Koivu. All the more reason to throw all of your eggs in one basket and go for the Cup this year. Same mindset as the 2011 Mavs.
