I’ve been very surprised with Horcoff as well. Being big and being able to skate are two things things that are rarely together.
Getting anything out of a 7th rounder is a miracle, but that’s good to hear 2 years in a row.
FYI Those were all notes I copy/pasted from online, not my observations.
after the prospect camp we have like 1.5-months until anything hockey related again.
Is anyone going to the Sweden game?
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?
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.
The rumor came from Pagnotta, he’s a worse source than Serivelli who somehow has credibility these days.

Parker Witherspoon. 2 years, 1m AAV.
Seems like he excelled when sheltered and might get a bigger role with us.
Ran into the old Rinosaur on r/penguins on Reddit haha
did you invite him over?
By the way, I’ve tried to send DM’s to multiple regulars on the HB board. I think EK has cut off my ability to DM people. I got through to superhenderson. Sent ones to MacPatty and Tojo. Was trying to send more to Grinder, Kid and Rolo and I started getting error messages about those people didn’t exist. Oh well.
were they banned too?
What other notable RFAs are left? Rossi? Dubas indeed is sitting on his hands unless he is strictly focused on one in particular.
I’ve read a few positive reviews on the Pens draft. Pronman gave them a B+. We certainly added a lot of size….which I like.
grinder probably has the biggest boner after that draft. Surprised he hasn’t come in to say some shit about it haha
Yeah I’m personally not a huge fan with the route Dubas went. I would have much rather had Eklund, but for what it’s worth, TopDown Hockey had Kindel as 8th overall, and most draft people had Zonnon in the mid-20s. Horcoff seemed like a pretty big reach, but he didn’t play a lot at Michigan so TopDown’s model wasn’t very kind to him.
Wish they would have done Eklund Kindel back to back if they were that high on Kindel. Like RW says, bottom 6 guys are a dime a dozen, would have rather swung for guys with higher upside. A lot of comparatives have Kindel compared to Brayden Point so.. hopefully that works out.
Yeah I am of the same camp. I would very happily be wrong if he ends up being pretty good.
Not really seeing much worth seeing. 6’6” kid who plays pretty soft and can’t score in juniors. Very nice.
Rumours starting to pick up more about rust being traded as well as accari
I trust Dubas in trades more than anything so hopefully it’s for a kings ransom.
