Kyle Dubas a conclu une transaction importante jeudi, en faisant venir le très attendu prospect Rutger McGroarty à Pittsburgh. Hunter et Patrick discutent de la façon dont cette transaction a été conclue et s’ils ont tous deux été stupéfaits que Brayden Yager ait été inclus dans la transaction. Ils discutent également de la façon dont McGroarty s’intègre au système des Penguins et de ce qu’il apportera à la formation. Ils ont également discuté de la rapidité avec laquelle il a signé son ELC et de la place qu’il occupera probablement dans la formation. Après cela, ils analysent comment Dubas continue d’atteindre son objectif de remplir le système de prospection de qualité tout en préparant l’équipe à au moins essayer de se battre pour une place en séries éliminatoires cette année. Enfin, les deux discutent de la façon dont les Penguins sont dans une impasse au poste d’attaquant. Quels joueurs pourraient être transférés ? Pourrions-nous voir plusieurs transactions ?

it show that dubas could do these trades when he has full power not like his former team
Would’ve been sweet to see Yager in a pens Jersey
One year ahead in development. Yager might have a better career but he doesn't help them win now in moose jaw.
You gotta give it to Dubas, guy has a serious set of balls on him 😂
He could fill the hole on the first line!
I hate it.
I think Yager has a higher ceiling.
We’re talking about a prospect, no NHL games yet, bumping DOC down a line. Come on. DOC scored 16 goals last season and should be even better this year. I don’t get that at all. This kids gonna play in the NHL and probably score less than 10 goals his first season. I dislike the trade, but I hope it works out in the long run.
Baring a trade, the locks for the bottom 6 are Hayes, Glass, Acciari, Eller and Lizotte. Those 5 simply make too much to not have a spot. You can’t waive them because they would add dead money on the cap, and Hayes, Acciari and Lizotte would add dead money through 2026.
Love this trade for both team,,, edge to Pittsburgh
I remember seeing mock drafts back in 22, and McGroarty and Jimmy Snuggerud were two players that were potential Pens projected picks. Here we are two years later.
Pat, I love your comment about this team not having enough bastards and it’s so true. You used have Kunitz and Hornqvist.
Now you have Bunting, Tanner Howe, and Rutger McGroarty.
The cherry on top will be offer sheeting Nick Robertson.
It's a good deal for both but I can't help but wonder if the pens couldn't of kept yager and have up someone else with a 2nd!
Center trade coming next I bet, Eller probably gets the best return a 2nd maybe
I don't know prospects well enough to assess this. But I will say that I love the ambition.
Unless he has a crappy camp, I expect him to be on the first line with Sid and Rusty. Barring that, he'll be on the second line with Geno and Bunting, moving Rakell to Sid's line. DOC will be a bottom six player, this year.
I think it's a smart move for sure. I liked Yager but by all accounts McGroarty is a little better and NHL ready, as opposed to Yager who was gonna need a few years. McGroarty-Sid-Rust, Bunting-Malkin-Rakell, O'Connor-Hayes-Glass, Lizotte-Eller-Acciari, and then there's Puljujarvi, Puustinen, and Beauvillier. Honestly I don't hate that lineup, McGroarty potentially fills a massive hole. Dubas might be onto something. I think the 2023 offseason when he was first hired he was just scrambling and had some misses, but he's starting to figure it out think.
Just saw that Thatcher Demko may miss a good bit of the season, for Vancouver, because his knee isn't healing as expected. Could we see Rutherford call up his favorite trading partner, the Pens, for a player that he drafted…Tristan Jarry?
Why would we DROP DOC…down a line or 2…he's a forchecking devil…give SID players
Did you look at the pens prospects? They have no center depth in the pipeline. The season Malkin and Crosby are done, the pens will have nothing down the middle. As a pens fan I want to see McGroarty succeed, but man the pens should’ve tired to ship Pickering over Yager.
One thing to consider: Yager was not going to get better by returning to the WHL as an over-ager. 20 year olds playing against 16 year olds tend to plateau, and then they stumble at the next step. The NCAA does a much better job of developing players for the NHL.
Sad to see him go, but he hates Winnipeg… so what can you do
What do you think about Rutger being on the left side wall (Phil Kessel’s) spot. Gonna miss Yager maybe we can get him back later
GL Mcgroarty! Another young guy for Sullivan to misuse and bench, then we can watch him flourish on a new team as the Pens trade him
What is Winnipeg thinking? I know some Canadian teams don't like having too many American-born players on their roster, but this seems like a very one-sided deal. Good job Pens.
If they could have traded for RM without giving up BY, why didnt they do so? If Cheveldayoff had "no" leverage?
I've watched alot of Yager videos on youtube and he is excellent in the highlights. Yager was my hope. FUTURE DANGER WARNING! When Sid and Geno retire who are going to be Rutger McGroarty's centers? That is when he will demand a trade from a rebuilding basement cellar team with no hope. That is when the Pens will need a new center like Yager who is perfectly timed and was on track to enter the organization when 87/71 retire. Let's watch and see. Hopefully RM rips it up for the Pens.
16:50
Patrick Damp ripping it up with "bastards". Hunter and me lovin' it. Bunting and McGroarty. OK Dubas is at work.
It should be known that RM is muscular and ripped in his shirtless photographs on Instagram.
Not sure what to think of the trade. Ive watched tape of both players. Mcgroarty is bigger, grittier and better playmaker. He's closer to being nhl ready too. But that yager wrist shot is deadly. Yager has the better shot of the 2 right now. We'll see in 3 to 5 years who wins this trade but am excited to see mcgroarty in a pens sweater. Will miss yager and hope for the best for him in his career except when he plays pens. I think eller will be traded. Possibly acciari too. Dubas wants to get younger and they are 2 of many over 30's on this team. Hunter, i think puustinen will be odd man out or 13 forward. I see cody glass or anthony beauvillier in 3rd line right wing role with mcgroarty starting the season on the left wing with hayes centering it. Maybe im wrong but i got a feeling on it. Then the other of beauvillier or glass on 4th line with lizotte and acciari if they dont trade him. Puustinen is not a 4th liner. Known for his shot and 4th line role wouldnt help his development imo.
McGroarty is a leader. He's tough, he's a playmaker, and he has solid hands. He's the type of complete forward that one day becomes a team Captain. Throw him on Sid's line with Rusty, and maximize his growth. Yager has too many questions marks to go with his obvious skill-set. Pittsburgh won this deal.
Like this deal ready now big fast 20 yr old good passer good shot physical LW Captain team USA that won gold and Captain at Michigan one of best teams college hockey McGourtey ready now Yager probably 2 yrs away
McGroarty ,Oconnor,Glass,Broz,Poulin,Howe Penguins have some young talented Winger Pens signed McGroiarty 3 yr he can spend time Sid,Malkin,Letang before they retire
GREAT trade for both teams.
Lose Guentzel and old man Carter off last year's roster… gain Bunting and Mcgroarty.. not that bad
It's an even trade, but I think the Jets won just a little because braden played with barlow with Team canada …
Serious question if Sid or Gino gets injured who fills in?
As a Jets fan, it think it's a win-win. I think Rutger might be the better player, but with Yager being from Saskatchewan hopefully he'll be interested in staying long term.
