Now, with Despres possibly coming up next season, do you guys think the Pens may trade a defenseman for a winger?

They saw what D will do last year so I'm sure that's the way they are thinking.

They signed Dupuis but didn't make an offer to Kennedy and looks like Superstar will be gone. I'd love to see us get Umberger, he's a Pgh (Plum) boy. I also look for Tangradi to get some playing time on the top lines. With him and Neal we'll have 2 power forwards.

We can only hope. When he is motivated he can take over a game as well anyone in the league.

68 will have a decision today:

It would be fun to have the old bastard back for a year.

I agree...lol

Still waiting for the word...the more I think about it the more excited I am...there's no doubt he's slower and not what he was...but a big guy standing there WHO CAN FINISH while Sid does all the work would be fun to watch.

I'd love to see Jagr sign; I would love to see him on one of the first two lines. I could see him as Guerin 2.0: A veteran presence that could really help the team with his experience and skill while simultaneously benefiting from the speed of the younger guys.

I'm also holding out hope for TK. I'd rather see the team retain 48 than bring back Jagr or other FAs if it comes down to it. For a reasonable price, of course.

You think Jagr can sign as fast as he can skate?

I'd just be worried about the opposite. If he skates as fast as he signs, we may be better off without him. :lol:

Also, I like the resigning of Asham. With his performance in the playoffs, I really wanted him back. If he's healthy, I think he can be a solid pain in the ass and scoring threat and we know that this team needs that in its wingers.

I agree with Asham, I watched him in Philly and he always stepped it up in the playoffs there too. He's the kind of guy that can make a difference in May & June.

Jagr watch continues. This is getting ridiculous, but I expect nothing less lol.
