Third team is rumored to be Vegas. But gotcha
I don't know. The team had good chemistry and was playing well. The D is still weak so losing Cole could hurt a lot. We shall see. And another 1st rounder gone...

They have to make a move to shore up the back end. Even if Sully didn't like Cole, moving him in order to have to play Hunwick or Rhuwedl is insanity.

This thing is taking forever to finalize
I'm bummed about Cole being dealt too

Good Lord, NHL has the trade on hold. Mention of another Pen's player going to Vegas..... Reaves.

WTF. Giving up Reeves and Cole and a 1st? That sucks...
Reeves really didn't have a place and I never liked picking him up. Sucks that it cost a first to get him and looks like it will also cost a first to get rid of him

Reaves was a terrible trade. Gave up a first-round pick for a guy that barely played.
When you add it all together, it is a steep cost for a third liner, but not if it helps win you another Cup.

Holy crap, it sounds like a home game. Huge roars for Murray saves. Let's go pens chants during the review. Lots of pit fans in Carolina

Pens looking good right now.
Earlier they could not clear the puck for a mother.
Kessel is on it tonight.
Liked the opportunities 2nd half of the 2nd period

I'm still on the "Reaves is under utilized" thought process.
He can grind out against the boards, is pretty fast at skating, has a good wrister.
If you're gonna trade a 1st round for him, play him. Not use him as an enforcer. He drops the gloves when necessary.
I don't know what the hell is going on with this Brassard trade
Giving up Cole and a 1st should be enough for Brassard.
But from my understanding is Brassard is too expensive for the Pens salary cap.
I guess Vegas is willing to do a deal with Ottawa to pick up part of Brassards salary to help out the Pens.
It's all a mess.

Looks like Vegas is getting Reaves and the 4th we had from Vancouver. Vegas had to retain some $$$

Having Aston-Reese and Hornqvist helps a ton with any physical net presence.
I like Aston-Reese's hustle tonight. Hornqvist is still greasing the grooves. Didn't notice him much in the 2nd period

I thought Reaves brought a lot too. Losing Cole and Reaves sucks.
He brought some needed physicality, and could also skate. His attitude was funny.
Today is bitter sweet.
