2019-20 Penguins and NHL Offseason

I'm pretty sure he has a one way contract this year anyway.

He can go back down but he'll have to pass through waivers. The "one way" guarantees the same pay at either level. I'm hoping he never needs to go to WBS again (fingers crossed)

If Desmith passes through waivers it will create a log jam. Larmi is who they want to get playing time at WBS. D'Orio is who they want at Wheeling. Two guys that have shown potential. Then there is Tokarski at WBS, who has NHL experience. Can't wait for all this to shake out.
 
He'll get another chance at the NHL level. Some team will give him a chance. He made an impact with the Ducks. There were flashes there.

I agree that he will but for his development he would be better off in Europe. Learn two way play and gain confidence.
 
Well, DeSmith cleared waivers. GMJR said they are having a leadership meeting to decide what to do with him ?

Now, I thought this was interesting. Pens had Riikola on left wing at practice today.

Trotman and Rust will be headed to LTIR. Sully said Rust will be out longer term.

JMFJ is still a Penguin. No one wants that contract and term. I hope Johnson decides to play with a chip on his shoulders and proves everyone wrong. Stranger things have happened.

Sucks about Rust. JMFJ should have shown some fire during pre-season but didn't. I doubt he turns it on now.

I doubt it also but I can dream a little.LOL

Pens sent Marino down to WBS. Probably for the best. Give him a chance to build some strength. I think we'll see him in the NHL in November.
 
I watched a few minutes of the Blues/Caps game. I see where the NBC announcers are still slobbering over all things Caps.

It was unbearable. caps are going to be difficult to play against as usual. Hathaway is a little *****.

As they always are. I was hoping STL was going to blow them out of the building, but that didn't happen. I really didn't want WASH to get those two points. They are the Pats of the NHL.

Heard Marino is on the big club. Got called up. Have to record the game tonight. Go PENS! Have a great time, UB!!
 
Since Marino is up, that is 9 NHL defensemen in Pittsburgh. Makes no sense unless a trade of some sort is imminent or there are multiple injuries. Guess we’ll find out.
 
let's go pens!!!!
 
No Kessel, gonna need pts from someone, maybe Malkins new Russian linemate will make him happy

No Maatta so will see how his replacement plays D, he supposed to be more responsible back there

Lots of changes, more speed, I hope

Getting swept by Islanders in 1st rd won't go away soon, ayep
 
Let's Go Pens!!!
 
Sheary punks the Pens

1-0 buuufalo
 
If we play the whole game in our end, they will score. Lame forecheck.
 
Out shot 11-3 so far, gotta clear the puck boys
 
Pens look old and slow.
 
Anyone think Sid will have a SOG tonight? He seems to prefer passing last couple of years.
 
Feels like exhibition skate, building silent

PP coming up
 
I can’t believe the Pens don’t have a better option on the PP1 than Hornqvist.
