Penguins trade Lars Eller, who could be next?
Kyle Dubas wasn’t kidding when he said everyone is on the table, trading Lars Eller to the Washington Capitals for two draft picks. Hunter and Patrick discuss the trade and the return as well as what it means for this team moving forward. They also talk about how this shows that Dubas is very serious about this retooling on-the-fly plan. Next, they speculate about who else could now get moved off of the Penguins’ roster if their woes continue along with how this could actually be part of a longer-term plan. Finally, there is still a game to be played tonight and they get you set for Penguins-Red Wings at PPG Paints Arena.

Who replaces eller, i have glass as 3c when healthy. I think he is better at center and could be decent in that roll. With how responsible he plays i think he has earned it.
And so it begins
Me and Patrick have been on the same page about how they were going to approach this season. It was always a long shot that they would be contenders. I think the missing ingredient is landing a top 5 player in the draft this season. Hagens would be nice, yes, but there's upwards 3-4 centers that could come in and stick to the roster. That should be the goal for the Penguins first and foremost.
Trade the coach it’s not the players it his system.
The "one last run" idea has to be built around penguins getting a bonafide superstar. Think Lebron going to LA w/ AD
Even if it wasn't intentional,it sure as hell sends the message that mgmt feels the season is over
I'm getting tired of seeing Mike Sullivan chewing gum on the bench.
Eller wasnt the problem. Why cant the Penguins find a decent GM?
Getting old it happens your team must start the REBUILD
how bout trading the whole team…
Doesn’t o Connor have the worst plus minus in the nhl? Lol
Of course he played his tail off. You don't make it to a contender by playing like most of the players on this team.
The only way Eller wasn't getting traded this year, was being a solid contender. So holding him in the position they are in, doesn't make a difference. Why? Why is there a thought of trading the under 30 pieces? Gryz? Gone! How have they not resigned Petterson, trading should not be an option. The Pens are in bad contract hell
….I wouldn’t trade with a me to rival though.
Another great example is Sam Presti the GM of the OKC Thunder, stockpiling tons of picks that are paying off making them a contender
I can see the players that care for this team ending up doing just the opposite. No one will care anymore. Geno won’t care. Who knows about Crosby. I can’t believe…why Ellar😢
What if this 5-year rebuild goes ahead, GM Kyle Dubas could miss the playoffs six consecutive seasons.
This is kind of off topic but I was just wondering what people thought, sometimes I hear the media talking about Letang being a future Hall of famer and honestly I don't at all… A Hall of fame defenseman wouldn't make all those mental mistakes over and over and over again… Honestly I think the last year and a half he's been pure crap… I would love it if they could find a way to trade him
Is Owen Pickering just a bust at this point? When is he going to play?
2.5 million off the books
good thing you put that link to taylors article in the description, god forbid you steal her clicks!!!!
