Only if he’s sure Crosby can come back, otherwise, I don’t see the point.

I think Hemsky as a player, is worth it with the raw talent he has and how much damage he could do on a line with a player like Sid or Malkin. But the big question that I have with him is the injuries…if we’re paying top dollar to get him, is he going to be able to stay on the ice?

I think there is a point in getting him because the upcoming FA pool for wingers is fairly shallow and if Shero doesn’t make a trade, there’s not too many guys who he’d be able to get that are worthwhile in the summer

The price is probably:
-2011 first round pick
-Despres or Tangradi

To start with. Maybe with Goligoski or one of Letestu/Jeffrey on top as well and possibly another second round pick this year or next.

I don’t think Hemsky’s worth all of that for a team that doesn’t have Malkin and doesn’t know about Crosby. He’s a really dynamic player and I’d love to see him on the Pens, but I think Edmonton is just going to want too much.

Color me not surprised. I’d have a hard time swallowing any deal like this – for once, I’d really prefer we stand pat at the deadline.

Not a member of their pay features, but the title and first line of one of the rumors is saying Washington is seriously interested in Hemsky and that Edmonton is wanting a young d-man to make the deal happen.
