Eklund: Rumor: Blackwood to Pens (e4)

The penguins blue line is like Detroits after Lidstrom retirment. Enjoy some lean years. You have 2 number 3 guys, 1 4 and the rest don't play on any other team.

What could the sharks possibly want from Pittsburgh? They won't move Yager or Pickering for him

Well they definitely won't be trading Yager at least

Penguins need to teach him to play the point on the powerplay, so he can unleash Yager bombs.

The Sens also thought improving goaltending would help them ......see how that's turned out.

The Sens also hired Travis Green after years of great and measurable success everywhere he has been.

Jets* need to teach him to play the point on the powerplay, so he can unleash Yager bombs.

FTFY

Jarry at half salary, + 1st + Drew O'Connor for Blackwood

I hate to say this, but the Penguins need to move on from their senior citizens and start a rebuild.

Here's another chance for Grier to get an underwhelming return in a trade. He doesn't need Jarry unless he wants to tank for another #1 pick since Jarry couldn't stop a beachball right now. You would need to get at least a #1 and a pair of #2 since you are also doing the Pens a favor by taking on Harrys contract which has an additional 3 years to run. Toronto gave up a #1 to get Carolina to take on 1 year of Marleau a few years back and this situation is worse.

Sorry am not and never was an AHL Person. I’ve watched the NHL wannabees who can’t make the cut, and was never entertained. Glad you enjoyed your interview with Coach Watson. Unless he’s got Bowman DNA traits, I hope he never comes to Detroit. I’ve still got a terrible taste of AHL’s Blashill in my mouth that has developed into an equally bad aftertaste of Lalonde.

Please allow me an analogy to hyperbolize The Circus known as The Detroit Red Wings.
In 64 AD Roman Emperor Nero played the Lyre ( a mini Harp), the fiddle was not invented till a thousand years later. But Nero did fiddle with the Lyre as Rome burned.

If you say that someone is fiddling while Rome burns, you mean that they are not dealing with a difficult situation but instead are doing useless things or pretending that nothing is wrong.
Yzerman isn’t playing the Lyre, but he has certainly done useless things and without question is passively fiddling away while Motor City smoulders to an unrecognizable destruction.

Coach Jim Montgomery has been fired in Boston, he is only the first as the Coaching Carousel of Hot Seats begin to simmer and Yzerman continues to uselessly fiddle….
Doing absolutely nothing as the Thanksgiving benchmark for playoffs is all but upon us. Looks like It’s TANK TIME again.

Not that you or anyone on here really follows the league, but why would a rebuilding team want a rental goalie?
