Ha.  Loved that.  Can you imagine Hexy congratulating the Penguins?  Yeah.  No.

Not a huge fan of the trade. Schenn's only 25. They got a late first in a weak draft and a conditional first in another draft. Plus they took on a zesty contract of an underperforming player who's 29. Little baffled by this deal to be honest.

I'm not crazy about the trade but I think I get it.

Schenn is basically useless at even strength and he was occupying the roster and position spot that they have slotted for Patrick. Two first rounders for a player that you have moved on from doesn't strike me as terrible value even if you have to take on a junk player in the process.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

Schenn is a winger (which they're short on) and Patrick is a center. Which makes the move even that much more baffling. Hextall said they weren't looking to move Schenn but got an offer they didn't think they could pass up. They took on a crap contract too.

say what you want about schenn but he had 50 goals the last two years....where is that production coming from now

I won't pretend to know anything about Morgan frost but I read enough to know that he was a massive reach at 27 and I don't even know why they took lehtera....he's a waste of oxygen

I like hexy a lot but he ain't no hinkie

Frost was the 31st ranked player in the NHL Central Scouting Service list of prospects.  Not a huge stretch at that point by any means.  After getting Provorov, Ghost, etc. I'll defer to their scouting team on that one.

As for Schenn, he's a center.  They cut two years of Schenn's back end salary, picked up two #1's and a MARGINALLY useful bum they'll pay for two seasons while Patrick acclimates himself to the NHL.

I'm not crazy about losing Schenn either but I get it too.
