Would you rather re-sign Ruslan Fedotenko or re-sign Alexei Ponikarovsky?

Ok, now I am not saying dude, we have to sign Poni. However, the guy has the numbers and most of those numbers came from playing on the Maple Leafs…that alone is saying something. Since there are not a whole lot of really attractive free agents out there, of course there are a few, I would say give Poni a shot. Give him one of those one-year offers…if he doesn’t take it, he walks. But it’s a good chance to see what he can do, LONG TERM, on a line with a great player like Malkin. Should be interesting to see but you have to admit, 20-goal scorers are hard to come by in the NHL. I say, give him 1 year! It’s hard to judge on what we have seen in such a short amount of time.

would be neither….

Both were HUGE let downs this past season. I’d rather see just about any free agent or even Tangradi if he’s ready to step up to the NHL.

Is Kris Beech available.

If I must choose, I pick Ponikarovsky.

I know this sentiment may not be very popular, but I think the Pens try to keep Poni. Feds lost me towards the end of the season when he iced the puck about 5-6 feet away from the blue line because he was about to get hit. He could’ve gone 50 games without scoring, but when any one of his teammates would’ve taken the hit to get the tired guys off the ice, that pisses me off.
As for Poni, he didn’t show much, but the reality is he’s a 50-65+ point a year guy. I hated that the coaches kept trying to stick him with Geno, who he just never meshed with, but he did look pretty good with Sid when Geno was down for a few games late. If Billy G doesn’t come back and Poni is willing to take a discount, I think he stays because of the lack of size on the first line (among other things). I was disappointed with his effort in the playoffs (as we all were), but you know the coaching staff told him to get his act together at the end of season meetings. Maybe Sid’s work ethic will even rub off on him.

I have nothing nice to say about either player. I guess I do, at least Fedotenko gave a crap when he was out there.

haha I love the “If I have to pick” and “If I must” talk. Told ya guys yesterday that today’s would be a good one.

Since I couldn’t pick C) a sack of rocks

I went with Poni, just because…hell I dunno in the stats he had more points.

Yikes what’s the lesser of two evils…well first I would say neither, but if I really had to pick one I’d say Poni. He’s bigger and younger. I love what Feds has done for us the past couple years, but I think his time in Pitt is up.

You left off the place for “neither” !!!! LOL

Where was the neither option?

i feel so dirty having to pick one… ugh!

Feds… only cos he’s already kay with being that healthy scratch that Poni can never be

if he takes a 1 year deal for about 1.2 mil. If not, neither. Farewell, Tenk Top

….is this what Mike Lange meant when he said “It went in, pulled out by Hardy!”

Yikes

last night i was looking through pictures i had taken at a game. i saw #26 and i could not remember for the life of me who it was. i felt kind of badly. then i remembered how he fared in the playoffs and i felt a little less badly.

if we talk same money Poni is a no-brainer…

Still “Neither” is my first choice answer
