Good for Ned and us. Really want to see the Acciari trade to wherever. Then I want to see a Rakell trade and EK trade at some point this summer.
Did we actually sign Mantha?

The rumor came from Pagnotta, he’s a worse source than Serivelli who somehow has credibility these days.

I saw a couple other outlets echo the signing and figured it was a go, but the team never announced it.
Honestly I like it for a deadline flip. If he does well like 20-20, could fetch a first.

Def glad one of the goalies are gone. Blommer can backup, or possibly start when Jarry goes off the rails and murashov will start in the A. I guess we don’t have too many ppl ready to make the jump to the big leagues but all these random little signings seem to be more roadblocks.

Feels like the Russian is closer at this juncture but I expect both to get a chance sooner rather than later. I don’t think Jarry is long for this team one way or another. Either he preforms and gets traded or he flops and get buried down the depth chart. Dubas has already shown a willingness to send him down.
Mantha is a done deal by sounds of it. 1 year/2.5
Pens got a lot bigger this offseason…so far, anyway. Not that Mantha uses his 6’5/235 pound frame in a real physical way, he was still hard to get off the puck and move around the other teams net.
Hopefully he performs really well, and stays healthy, so we can ship him off for a decent pick at the TDL.
I know the Pens are currently 23/23 roster contracts…maybe even 24/23 now with Mantha signed, but this will probably change with trades and also some guys will probably hit waivers/get sent down in camp.
Still some decent names on this list. I would like one year deals for guys like Orlov, Olofsson, Roslovic, Kuznetsov and more on this list to be able to get more draft capital at TDL. I would love Ehlers but he’s probably going to want a lot for a long time and that doesn’t really fit the Pens right now.

I don’t think they should sign anyone else. They should try to keep a roster spot or two to allow the AHL guys an avenue to get some experience and go back down for more AHL games if needed. If they keep signing guys, they’ll all be stuck in the AHL again. Not saying they need to be with the big club all season, but I’d prefer to give them flavors of the show and send them back if they aren’t ready.
Pens need to be sinking near the bottom of the standings so definitely don’t go after Ehlers lol hopefully they ship out EK and one of Rust/Rakell for more assets. Hell they should ship out both Rust and Rakell but who knows if they’d do that.

I see you guys picked up Rafaël Harvey-Pinard (RHP for us Habs fans) … I think you guys did good here.
I’m happy for him … good guy.Not a bad winger (3rd line) but he got sidetracked with injuries over the last 2 years so he was passed by in the Habs hierarchy of prospects.

I’d be surprised if any of Rust, EK or Rak are Pens after the TDL. Agree on the tank. If not for Sid, this team would be bottom 3 this year.
I would love Ehlers for the same reason, to shake at TDL and get more draft capital. He’s not going to sign for only 1 season, though. Ehlers, or no Ehlers, this team probably isn’t going to be in the bottom 5 of league standings, this upcoming season IMO.

His numbers looked good in the 2022/2023 NHL season. His AHL numbers since then aren’t where’d you’d like to them.
