Shit fucks you up, man. Why I'm sold on homegrown - I know what's in it.

[Lancer]

Yes.

And word is he preferred LA.

Other teams involved but he wanted to go there.

Greentree is a guy I wanted the Nucks to trade EP for.

Miller is younger, but imagine if that was all management got for him??

Give the Baldies this: they haven't done too bad in the returns for they got for shipping out players.

Not sure who's in a worse spot, us or Rangers fans.

They could've done worse for sure. Also could've done better if not for flipping the 12OA pick and/or did the wise thing and stayed away from Chytil's melon issues.

All in all, I'd give them a C+/B-, or maybe better an incomplete grade because there is still an opportunity to flip some of those pieces to hopefully better/future ones to branch out the trade tree. You're not going to get much if anything for Chytil and Metey now, but perhaps down the road if they come back fully healthy and improve their games. Not counting on it, but there's also DOC and Rossi, who I think we can for sure recoup some good value for in the not too distant future.

Pens picked up another draft pick, and Girard for Kulak.

They are doing a great job in gathering as many darts to throw at the board as possible. Hope Van is watching.

"Pittsburgh now has 34 draft picks over the next four NHL drafts, which includes 20 selections in the first three rounds. No team has more selections over the first three rounds in the next four drafts than the Penguins." - Pen's Webpage.
