@steelcityundrgr Why would the Steelers hate Jackson, they own him
English

Yeah, I was 50/50 on Shea. They could for sure bring him back.
I was looking at everyone already under contract to fill out the roster.
Interesting idea on Silovs. I believe Murashov should be getting the bulk of the work next year, so this does make sense.
I think Slinner also wants to be the guy too. Maybe better to sign a veteran backup to be a true backup
English

@3RiversSportNet McGroaty needs to improve his skating to be on Sid’s line. I think Silovs gets traded because he wants to be the guy. I think Skinner is back to share the net. They’ll resign Shea. Player wants to return and the money won’t be an issue
English

Seeing a lot of posts about what the Penguins lineup will look like in the fall, so I put my team together.
Only stipulation to my list is that the players have to already be in the organization. Obviously there will be free agent signings and likely a couple of trades.
I do believe either Rust or Rakell will be traded, preferably getting someone to bump Novak and Brazeau to the press box.
I'm resigning Chinakhov and Dewar.
McGroarty-Crosby-Rust/Rackell
Chinakhov-Kindel-Koivunen
Soderblom-Novak-Brazeau
Dewar-Lizotte-A Hayes
Wotherspoon-Karlsson
Girard-Letang
Graves-Brunicke
Murashov
Silovs

@CJ20265200 @msullivan1993 @troybeck A Hayes, Broz, McGroarty, Koivunen, Hallander, among others, all need a full extended look
That was actually the plan for this year, then that plan got punted when the team started 8-2-2
English

@3RiversSportNet @msullivan1993 @troybeck Who is punting? You're acting like the Pens have prospects ready to replace him lol. Other than Ville, they're still fairly young
English

@MartyOnFifthAve Agreed Marty, we've seen enough of Bart to know.
English

A lot of people mad in the comments… where did I say that he’s lighting the world on fire? He’s had an awful start and I’ve been dunking on it all spring more than anyone!? as of late he’s heated up though, so why not try to see what he’s got with an extended look before Endy/trade acquisition.
Ⓜ️arty@MartyOnFifthAve
It’s time, you dealt David Bednar for him, stop playing this game.

@msullivan1993 @troybeck Sid yes, the other guys no. Can't punt the future forever.
English

@3RiversSportNet @troybeck When they’re ready to retire.
English

I don't think the contract value is the issue, we have plenty of cap room even if it's $6.1 million, which I don't think it would be.
I think it's more of a shifting the team towards younger players to see if all these guys you've been acquiring can actually do something with consistent NHL playing time.
I'd love if all of these guys could play until they're 50, but the odds of Malkin having another season like this are miniscule.
English

@ChrisMuellerPGH @3RiversSportNet You can get him for 3M or less save cap room for another good player you are a complete dumbass Dubas holds the cards not Geno FFS

Not interested in replacing his points
Interested in seeing what the young players can do and if we have any true potential coming, which was the original plan for this year before the season started.
Lets say Malkin is resigned, which is 50-50 imo, and then he has another point-per-season year, or very close. Are you bringing him back again?
English

@3RiversSportNet He could be 90 and if he’s averaging more than a point per game in the nhl, he has a spot on my roster.
You’re assuming for 5.5-7 mil you could replace his points with available free agents?
English

Malkin will be 40 years old when the season starts in the fall. He missed 26 games last year.
Since the modern era, only 1 player 40+ yrs old had a point-per-game season, that was Teemu Selanne 15 years ago.
The Penguins season was magical, no doubt, but the odds of things going the same way again are minuscule, especially considering that many of the players that made it possible will no longer be on the team.
English

@3RiversSportNet Any player averaging over a point per game you’d want to have on your hockey team
English

@shrediiknight @troybeck Why does his point production need to be replaced?
This was supposed to be a rebuilding year with a bottom five finish, remember?
The band-aid has to be pulled off at some point. You can't keep punting the future.
English

@3RiversSportNet @troybeck who is replacing his point production? nobody has been able to answer this--because there is nobody available, especially at his salary (which is a bargain). Mantha will make ~1.5x Malkin's cap hit as a UFA for significantly less value.
English

Hot Take. Claypool will comeback strong and end up as WR2 on the packers
Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdate
The #Packers will have former Steelers and Bears WR Chase Claypool at their rookie minicamp for a tryout. Claypool last played in 2023.
English

Notes from Pittsburgh 4/30
The Good... Brandon Lowe - 2 for 5, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI
... The Edmonton Oilers lose Game 6 and are eliminated by the Anaheim Ducks. The score remains the same, Crosby 3, McDavid 0
The Bad... Paul Skenes - 5 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 9 Ks
... Isaac Mattson - 0.2 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 5 ER
The Ugly... The Pirates have now lost 5 in row after being swept by the Cardinals. They were outscored 30 to 18 over the four game series and gave up 7 Home Runs
