take a guess which list Penburgh-ers aren’t gonna be spending a lotta time on…

lol

I'm 21 now... I still feel 20 and I still feel way too old.

Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.

is Peter Mueller a free agent? I thought he was a RFA I never heard if Colorado tendered an offer or not. They had to keep him right? If hes available Id go after him immediately. Isnt he a RW anyway?

by genomachine-O on Jul 1, 2010 11:19 AM EDT up reply actions  

Good catch, he’s an RFA. TSN screwed that one up. I’ll take him off.

by JustinM on Jul 1, 2010 11:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

got my hopes up for a minute there

by genomachine-O on Jul 1, 2010 11:41 AM EDT up reply actions  

You will not take Mueller away from my Avs. grumpy face

Avalanche fan stuck in Penguin territory.

Oh, I don’t know, I’m sure Diomedes7 will be here to pimp Manny Mo to us a few more times before it’s too late.

The Pens will be back.

by PensAreYourDaddy on Jul 1, 2010 11:48 AM EDT up reply actions  

Haha.

Well, a lot of people have the Pens making a move for Lombardi, and he’s a center, so…………

Joel Perrault to Vancouver, 1 year, $510k.

by JustinM on Jul 1, 2010 1:42 PM EDT reply actions  

Manny Maholtra to VAN, 3 years for $7.5M, NTC

by JustinM on Jul 1, 2010 1:50 PM EDT reply actions  

Sounds pretty good for Vancouver.

He’ll slot in nicely behind Sedin and Kesler on their depth chart.

Hey, an out is an out - unless you're Mario, in which case it's probably two outs. -UtesFan89

Hard work always beats talent if talent doesn't work hard.

Little pricey for a 3rd liner, though.

by JustinM on Jul 1, 2010 1:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

True.

But they only had eight forwards under contract, so they really needed to get somebody.

Ouch. That might make this even worse then, because …yeah, they still have holes to fill.
