RUMOR: Penguins interested in Pominville

[trapezeus]

thefourthperiod.com had a rumor listing a couple wingers that Pitts interested in and pominville was on there. that made me so excited i almost used my first emoticon.

[THATHURMANATOR]

For what?

[trapezeus]

does it really matter? anything to get rid of the contract, and get a player would be good news to me. one person speculated that pitts would trade Tangradi

i don't really pay attention to other teams, so i have no idea who that guy is. but i'll take him. sight unseen. He'll be more entertaining than watching pominville.

[Dr. Lecter]

There are many players I would get rid of before Pominville. A pretty good number actually.

[Ebenezer]

Doesn't trading Pominville escalate his salary into this year? Pretty much precludes the Sabres from adding anything of value.

[G Wolly]

Pominville for Crosby?

I dont know...

Just prior to his season ending injury, Fan 590 in Toronto talked about little chatter of a deal that would send Malkin to Buffalo. Although, they did say if it were to happen, it'd be in the off-season and not now at the deadline. It was JPom, Adam, Sekera and a 1st for Malkin if i recall or something like that.

I'd be good with that if Malkin didn't just get hurt again.

Let's see:
Connolly
Hecht
Niedermeyer
Connolly
Roy
Rivet
Sekera
Butler
Connolly
Pominville


Though, for me, I would rather have Niedermeyer than Pominville. But he is useless on this team right now. If they could make the playoffs though, I think Niedermeyer would be more of an asset.

Don't know if I would like that. Adam though not a superstar in the making is a young tough forward that is supposed to have a little bit of scoring touch. Something in short supply on the Sabres. Plus, I was under the impression that Malkin, though extremely talented, has some laziness issues. Miro part II?

Guys..don't use this thread to talk **** about the guy. Talk him up really well!

[JD]

I'm going to miss the guy. I can't remember when he missed the net last.. always accurate. Remember 05/06 against the Senators?? Man, what a goal!

[Ebenezer]

Let's see:
Connolly
Hecht
Niedermeyer
Connolly
Roy
Rivet
Sekera
Butler
Connolly
Pominville

I'd get rid of Connolly twice if I could, too.

Thrice*

roy once and conolly twice

No. This is not the NFL

Niedermayer is, by far, the worst player on the team.

Has anybody actually looked at Pominville's numbers the last two months?

I would rather see McCormick on the ice then any of those 2....

[Dr. Lecter]

I would rather see McCormick on the ice then any of those 2....Why?

This town fall way too much in love with guys like McCormick

[tampabay25690]

Why?

This town fall way too much in love with guys like McCormick

Why not at least he shows 150% everytime he is on the ice....

Neidermeyer has been a waste and Pominville is a 3rd liner at best and gets overpaid....

And McCormick is a borderline NHL player.

Pominville is overpaid - I admit that.

But he is a solid 2nd line guy who can play all aspects of the game - PP, even strength and he is probably the best PK on the team.

POMMER sucks admit it...
On a good team he is a 3rd liner.....
Buffalo fits his style and dissappears for 15 games at a time......

Not saying McCormick is great at all we already have Gaustad that is a fair player that tries......

Just saying Neidermeyer and Pominville are wastes of paychecks IMO

Since December 1st, Pominville has 26 points. Thats 26pt in a 28 game stretch.

In that span, he also has 11 goals.

Perfect time for a trade :up:

Poms, Connolly, 1st ('11), 2nd ('12) for Richards

[clumping platelets]

Orpik and Jeffrey for Pominville and Connolly

[Ebenezer]

150%?? Physically impossible.

Guys like McCormick are nice but what happens when he no longer has a career season? The guy is a career 5 goal a year scorer. In fact, this is the first year he has more than 4 goals. Thanks, but you aren't going to win a division, let alone a cup, with a bunch of McCormicks.

I know that.......
But if we can make a move now why not make the move......

I know he is a 4th liner by far.......

Crazy people. Niedermeyer instead of Pommer. Pommer sucks. Only 3 right wings have 60 points or more each of the last 3 seasons, and Pomminville is one of them. He actually has 4 in a row. Wow, people know nothing at all. He is a good NHL player and would be at least 2nd line on just about every single team.

[Dr. Lecter]

For a guy not signed past July 1?

Insanity.

I don't disagree, but some of those players have contracts expiring this year. And some of them have contracts that make them impossible to move.

We have to start somewhere, and I would love to dump Pominville's contract.

Wait you're talking about JASON Pominville? Number #29 on the Sabres?


The guy is so inaccurate that he couldn't hit a barn.

But anyway, beyond that, Neidermeyer is only signed through this season. He sucks, we won't re-sign him. Problem solved.

Jason Pominville is signed through 2014 at $5.5 million a season. That's far too much for a guy who's not even a 1st line player. Getting that salary off the books so it can be applied to GOOD players would be huge for this team.

When you want to trade someone.. it doesn't mean they suck, it means they can get someone good in return because they too are good :2cents:

My apologies, I want to win a cup this year.

This is assuming a contract would be worked out. With dumping the players I had mentioned in another thread, we would have about 14 million in cap space. Plenty of room to throw $$ at Richards to stay LT.
