He said, Dubas, "Has a haircut you can wind a watch to." 🤣🤣🤣 Why is that so accurate?

This is the exact reason Canes fans have been so antsy for a trade the last couple deadlines. We have a world-class scouting team, so much so that we can give away three objectively great prospects and not even feel a dent in the pipeline. So so happy to finally see us actually cash in on all those years of hoarding 1sts and constantly finding NHL talent in the lower ends of the draft

[@CantripCaniac]

Freddie played last night!

[@ABCDjjw]

Went from playing Raanta on b2b’s to having THREE goalies ahead of him on the depth chart, all without using a single pick. Really like our odds this time around

[@dolandarkxgrandayy6953]

Of course Dubas wanted bunting lol

[@ilkkak3065]

Ville Koivunen has NHL contract but his contract includes a European Assignment Clause. He has played in Finnish elite liiga and done 21+34 in 57 games. Sebastian Aho did 20+25 in 45 games in his last year in the Finnish league before came to NHL.

[@Garbox80]

In the same team even. Well, the players and staff are different of course, but... 😂

[@winring5593]

Yes, Aho did it at 18 though

[@RippeR751]

Last U21 player in Finnish elite liiga to score 55 or more points was Saku Koivu 1994-1995 season (Ichecked from eliteprospects). Koivunen was also captain of Finland U20 team and has gotten 2 caps in Finlands adult team. Ok to the little tournaments they test player who are not even best finns in Europe.

[@winring5593]

Koivunen is projected to having top 9 upside. Needs to improve skating though. It’s Lucius who was scouted as maybe not translating to the NHL game

[@LearnedAstroGnome]

"The goaltendings fine, Freddy Andersen is coming back" Famous last words

[@canesfan1526]

Yah it’s only the guy who literally lead in every goalie stat up until game 3 of the ECF.

[@LearnedAstroGnome]

@@canesfan1526 Not saying he's a bad goalie, just has a tendency to get injured a lot.

[@chrissie6105]

The 2nd rounder they’d get in the case CAR doesn’t make the final is Philly’s pick, so it’d be higher than CAR’s. Also Dubas didn’t trade down last year either and you guys were going on about he would, just saying lol

[@spittinvenom9843]

[@rickkawtoski9344]

Sid didn't sound to happy. I think he knows the season is pretty much over for our Pens. Got to start a rebuild somewhere. Hated to see Guentzal go though. Hope it's just a rental, don't want to face him in the Metro for the next several seasons.

[@carterthomas1946]

14:40, the canes didn’t get “smoked” by Florida. The goal differential throughout the series was 4 and 2 games went to OT, and game 4 probably should’ve gone to OT. Much closer series than the numbers show

[@northerngal]

Loved Bunting and wish TML gave him an offer.He’s going to be a big fan favourite in Pittsburg.

[@matthewg9467]

Ah yes. The ol’ “Jake was the best winger Crosby has ever had by LEAGUES but we traded him for a guy that’s as good as the 2nd best winger he’s had” and that’s a good thing

[@jameson1239]

It’s not like the Pens were going to do much in the playoffs anyway if they even make them

[@1pbdecoded1pb]

These guys didn't mention Dubas could have signed Bunting as a UFA last offseason. Instead Dubas trades for Reilly Smith and EK65. Now he trades his best winger for MB. They also didn't mention the Elias Lindholm for a 1st, Kuzmenko, and 2 prospects rental or the Henrique for a 1st rental. Weak analysis from out of Toronto.

[@chrissie6105]

Totally agree with Adam on Bunting. I think he has the potential to be really good with Crosby or Malkin cause he’s already shown he can play with elite players

[@CDNIVN]

Whether he is good or not, it doesn't matter. He is a massive downgrade from Guentzel.

[@rbishop95]

Sure, but what they are ignoring is that Guentzel is an elite talent. A two time 40 goal scorer. In fact, the ONLY 40 goal scorer that Crosby has ever played with. He’s by far the best winger Crosby has had. It’s not even close. A true homegrown player

[@chrissie6105]

@@CDNIVN you were never gonna get a 40 goal scorer back in that deal…

[@chrissie6105]

@@rbishop95 I don’t think they’re ignoring that, obviously it’s super tough giving someone like Guentzel up and I’m not thrilled either. I’m just saying I think Bunting will also be good, even if it’s in a different way than Guentzel was

It's been almost a full season, but glad to see Leafs fans still fall under either 2 categories - Kyle Dubas fanboys or Kyle Dubas haters. There is no in-between.

[@TheBillaro]

fanboys r so wrong.

[@Shieldofatook]

It was three overtime games. And all four games were won by one goal.

[@CarolynChristians]

The 2nd round pick is Philly's that Canes got when they traded the rights for DeAngelo for a 4th, a 3rd and a 2nd.

I can only hope so.

[@jaikohaal]

Can someone explain to me why people are saying Dubas was fleeced or messed up here? Genuinely curious, I don’t see it that way. B’s fan btw 😂

[@dolandarkxgrandayy6953]

Bunting is hated by refs and gets suspended all the time.

[@jaikohaal]

@@dolandarkxgrandayy6953I remember that. But I thought it was more because he was a leaf lol

[@moondog3056]

Because he traded a top forward for basically Bunting. The other guys will be lucky to ever play in the NHL. Dubas didn't get a #1 pick or one of the top prospects from the Canes. Monahan was traded for a #1 pick. How do the Pens not get at least that?

[@CloakingDonkey]

@@moondog3056 Have you watched Wilkes-Barre? The Pens have no prospect pool. Nothing. Starting to build one is the entire point of a rebuild. Not saying I'm satisfied with this return but since there's practically no chance anyone will take the boat anchors off their hands, trying to cling to the 4th cup fantasy is not smart.

[@NESADDICT]

I would say a 1st round pick should have been guaranteed. Other than that I think he did ok.

[@MomNeedsHelp]

[@williethekiddelaney8409]

Let’s go trade deadline day!

[@mobilepwr2]

Pens are trying to retool and go for it again next year. I think any assets they pick up this year will be for the future & some to flip for next years run

[@CDNIVN]

You retool by trading the guy that was leading the team in pts for the majority of the season?

[@mobilepwr2]

@@CDNIVN unfortunately. I never thought he would be traded but they must not have wanted to resign him OR bc he was their most valuable asset, they made the decision to flip him. This season is a wash but with picks and prospects now they may be able to retool for next year

[@people3865]

Go for it next year? Lol. They aren't making the playoffs for the next decade. Dubas made so many brutal signings and trades, it's done. It was already a shitshow, now it's just beyond help.

[@mobilepwr2]

@@people3865 I don't see them giving up under Crosby. My opinion is they are gonna move out who they can and try again. If they totally sell and get rid of Letang, Malkin, Jarry, etc. then ya it's gonna be a long rebuild 😂

Good player but wow did Carolina give up a lot of assets for him

[@Pens724]

People are forgetting that Crosby pushed the team to resign Letang and Malkin, when the team should have either traded, or left them walk. He can be upset that the team couldn't keep Jake, but at the same time, he kinda put them in the position they are in.

[@donniedoesdishes]
