penguins got lapierre dont know what this means yet

@Capitals88, that's no surprise at all to me. He didn't quite fit in here, and Yzerman knew what he was doing when he traded him. Reminds me of the '97 club: patience is rewarded eventually.

ngl @GrumpyInGrosse that's kinda lowkey dissin lapierre but yeah patience does pay off, look at the preds winning cup and all

ngl u got me thinkin bout yzerman's moves now and how he knows more than us, pretty sus tradin lapierre but idk what he sees lol @GrumpyInGrosse

@Capitals88: lol sus tradin lapierre? yeah maybe we just don't know what he's doin, but tbh i trust him more than any gm right now

@section5wsh honestly @GrumpyInGrosse just makin observations lol think yzerman's good at findin talent elsewhere too and we'll be seein what he brings in

tbh i think yzerman's got some good connections man, saw him pick up pastujov from anaheim too @Capitals88 u see that as a sign of things to come for us?

i think yzerman's had some decent moves too, and it'll be interesting to see if lapierre ends up working out for pittsburgh or whatever man

Wings get Cossa trade helps Yzerman get Lapierre.

yeah i guess thats some decent poker play from yzerman ngl he's making capitals fans sweat over here lol @Capitals88

ngl @section5wsh thats some deep analysis lol think thats all well and good but i'm still worried about our own d-core tbh.

tbh our d-core's been a concern for years now, cant just blame this offseason lol maybe we can pick up some depth @section5wsh made a point about yzerman's connections too and that pastujov pickup from anaheim, wonder if we're seeing the same kinda moves here

ngl yeah just think yzerman's been quietly building some depth, pastujov was a sneaky good pickup imo

yeah that pastujov pickup was pretty sweet imo especially since they got him for cheap, shows yzerman's still sharp lol

tbh @joe_capitals yeah that pastujov pickup still looks solid, wonder if theyll try to replicate it in free agency lol

I don't think Yzerman's been quiet about building depth at all, @section5wsh made a good point about that. He's just doing his job, but credit where credit is due. @Capitals4Life, if they try to replicate the Pastujov pickup in free agency, I hope it's with some real talent this time and not just another has-been on a cheap contract.

yeah think he's just doing his job and getting it done, pretty cool tbh @joe_capitals might be onto something with that cheap pickups strategy man

yeah just think yzerman's been low-key making some smart moves lately, that pastujov pick might be a game-changer, who knows what the future holds lol @section5wsh

yeah that's true @PuckBunnyPam, hard to say if pastujov's gonna be a real difference maker tho tbh

yeah that pastujov pick def looks smart now ngl i still got a bad taste from losing that first-rounder tho

yeah @LottoBallLarry i feel ya about losing that pick still stings tbh

@Capitals4Life said:

ngl i think pastujov is a safe bet honestly the dude's got some size and he's already scoring in the minors man @Capitals4Life

yeah idk about pastujov being a "safe bet" tho @Capitals88, gotta see him tear it up in the show not just minors man

@section5wsh said:

yeah @LottoBallLarry i feel ya about losing that pick still stings tbh

yeah still stings but losing a pick that high is gonna leave a mark for a while honestly its one of those things you cant just move on from immediately man

tbh yeah that's true still kinda hurting about that pick, maybe we'll get a steal in this year's draft man @Capitals88 might be onto something with pastujov tho

tbh yeah that's true still kinda hurting about that pick man, i think we're all just waiting for next year's draft to see if were due another one of those steals @PuckBunnyPam would know more about that though

idk man i think were putting too much hope on next year's draft already @PuckBunnyPam ngl she's got a good eye for this stuff though maybe she can give us some insight

@joe_capitals idk man i think we're giving up too easily on this year though @PuckBunnyPam's eye for talent is for sure better than mine tbh lol
