Could the Penguins look to add Vladimir Tarasenko?

- After a day of going bargain shopping in free agency, the Penguins are reportedly looking to make somewhat of a splash by adding Stanley Cup champion Vladimir Tarasenko in free agency. Patrick and Hunter discuss what it would take to get him out of Florida should they not re-sign him, where he would fit, and if this is even a smart move by Kyle Dubas. Next, they go over the official contract for Blake Lizotte and how this was one of the Penguins' savviest signings of the offseason as well as all the AHL depth added. Finally, what's left for this team to do and could they move a pretty big piece to kick this rebuild/retool?

People need to realize that we’re not a hot spot to sign anymore, there’s only so much dubas can do. We’ve been so spoiled as fans that we’re frustrated with the GM for being patient. You guys have to understand that he was given a mess from Hextall and he’s trying to turn it around and build a prospect pool while staying competitive. Look at teams like LA and Dallas, they were in a similar spot as us now and look at where they are now, legit playoff contenders. Just have patience and we’ll be contending for the cup in a year or two with Sid leading the way one last time. Let’s go pens
That and the philosophy is different than it was a decade ago. Ten years ago, it was win at all costs, it’s different now.
These great players, while still good, are towards the end of their careers.
Whomever took this job last year, knew they were in it for the long haul and this wouldn’t be a quick fix.
@@PENS68 exactly. It’s a tough pill to swallow but the fun was going to end at some point. Sid still has ALOT of elite hockey left in my opinion. If the retool/rebuild goes as planned, then I think we can compete for 1 more cup before he leaves
Comes down to money.
@@Bloodflowers29 - we spend to the cap ceiling, so what are you driving at?
@@garrettcooper79 Well bad signings were a problem... Namley Graves... With Jarry I can't fault them as much as options were not great....it sucks to have another year of Sid's career be wasted but hopefully it works out. They might leave a bit of cap space for the trade deadline
I wouldn’t mind Tarasenko, if it’s for the right price. I’ve always been a fan of Tarasenko and that guy can finish, which this team is horrible at.
I’d like to see him potentially get a chance to play alongside Malkin.
Tarasenko would be a HUGE kick in the butt for the Pens!! Top line with Crosby. Wow!! Dubas needs to be all over this all the time. I know he's over 30 but his addition make us a much better team. IMO.
Would love to see him with Geno and Bunts....Geno deserves a Russian comrade for once
We need tarasenko cause him.and geno will mesh perfectly and really great on the power play. And play making abilities as well as scoring touch is a plus.
nailed it buddy
The Pens definitely still need goal scorers so Tarasenko would make sense. Just because I have fun making up lines the lines would be something like Tarasenko-Crosby-Rust, Bunting-Malkin-Rakell, O'Connor-Eller-Puustinen/Puljujarvi, Beauvillier/Lizotte-Hayes-Acciari. I still don't think that lineup is great honestly, but it might be a slight improvement from last season.
DOC or Rakell at LW with Sid and Rust, Bunting with Geno and Tarasenko
Would there be anything wrong with looking at Daniel Sprong? He is younger and brings a nice offensive boost to their depth scoring? I could also be forgetting something or ignorant of something with him but I am not sure why I haven't seen much discussion about it. Armchair gm'ing I would be thinking about him atleast I think lol
Settle down folks the Pens are currently tied for first overall, 😁
IMAMA! Bring him up to take out Trouba, Wilson and any other trash!
I’m down especially because our bottom six needs help loll but still we gotta get younger
Would love to see tarasenko on crosby's wing. Tarasenko in his prime was an elite goal scorer. I think he could get 30 goals on crosby's wing. He has never played with an elite playmaking center the caliber of sidney crosby. Not many in the history of the nhl were on crosby's level. Also saw the pens signed the other sebastian aho. Another dman who had a down season last season but has been pretty decent for the islanders overall
Too late, He's with Patty Kane and the Wings.
love the show but why do yinz always say "first listen or watch of the day" when you release the video in the afternoon?
It’s the marketing thing, every show has to say it basically haha
Why not structure a deal the way Wings did with Kane? (4 mil; plus 2.5 mil in bonuses)
With Pens’ lack of cap space, maybe Dubas could make a 1-year deal work.
Too soon?
Could be wrong obviously… but I would think if Tarasenko were to leave Florida or not sign with a true contender that Pittsburgh would have to blow him away with a multi-year deal north of $5M AAV. If he were going to sign 1 year, $3-4M AAV, then wouldn’t he just re-sign with Florida?
I definitely think that could be the case but Florida also has some decisions to make and a big contract to hand out for Lundell. Think he’s gonna be in for a massive reissue
I wanted the pens to pair tarasenko with geno back when he was on the move from the blues. I think they would excel together with a player like doc to go get pucks out of corners for them. Now that he’s older I’ll pass on him for anything long term or larger than 4.5 mil. I really like the lizzo signing I think he’s a energizer type of player for that bottom 6 which is already improved from last year, I’ll take a Hayes and lizzo and Bellivoiur over neito, Carter and which ever other rotating door of players that we were trying to make fit and just didn’t.
"Vladdy, you know that I am score, but if you come to Pittsburgh with me, then WE ARE SCORE!"
- Evgeni Malkin, 2024 (probably)
i feel if petterson asking for alot with term then yeah trade just like jake
I think Tarasenko stays with FLA. Even if he doesn't, I doubt the Pens will be eager to offer more than what a better team also could offer. Would be if Geno has sway over him.
As for next season, it looks like Dubas os trying to give Sid a chance to will the team to the playoffs while thinking future more than now still. Trade Pettersson at the deadline if they are not in contention.
I think it will be a lot harder to make the playoffs next season though, and they missed this one, of yet barely.
BTW Sebastian Aho at league minimum is a nice bargain bin addition.
If Necas or a salary retained Laine isn’t an option anymore I wouldn’t mind a 1 year deal for Tarasenko
Pens is a perfect spot for a 1 year deal. The Pens are setting up to move Pettersson. A 4 year extension no longer fits the plan. Plus moving Eller and hopefully Accairi. Plenty of space left for a Rakell for Laine deal once he comes out of player assistance program. .
puls if trade him retain of his cap hit its gonna be 2 mill top 4 d which we could get huge return
Pittsburgh is no longer player top choice destination. They sadly are even worse going into next year. Making playoffs would be incredible. Sad times ahead.
Your first sentence is 1000% bang on and it’s what happens when a team slides out of a contending window.
Get Tanner Lange, sorry a bit biased served with his son in the Navy
Hopefully Jarry and Graves will get traded or given away somehow !!! Maybe soon!!!! Moving Eller ? Petterson? Why don’t they just trade everyone? Wow! Trade all the good players for Kindergartners ! Seems like that’s the real plan!!!
Pens really need to get younger. I think the Caps are doing better in terms of re-tooling on the fly.
#LGRW sorry Pens fans.. he's a Red Wing now.. 😉 that DAMN Steve Yzerman!..
This doesn't make sense. Dubas saves picks and tries to rebuild and suddenly this rumor. It's the complete opposite what he was saying he would be doing.
Please get somebody from somewhere that will be good!!! Too many garbage pail kids have already been signed!!!
But yet they add another mid defenseman in Sebastian Aho 😭😭😭 come onnnnnn. How many d men are we going to sign?!
aho is an upgrade from joseph idk what youre on about
Well, based on the injuries, last year, we need a lot of them.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I literally love you guys, but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. He'd be a total clown to sign with the Pens.
I’m gonna just guess you’re not big on Tarasenko? 😂, but thanks for always listening of course!
I just cannot imagine Dubas offering a player like Tarasenko a contract with a straight face when he's already kinda conceded this season. It's different for non-established players, but it's a tough sell to good players.
He could always decline it but I do think part of it is getting to play with two superstar centers and a chance of being dealt. We’ll see though
bro is a toronto fan cleary hates dubas lmao, enjoy all those senior citizen and trees treliving signed to play defense, if you ask nice maybe dubas will take robertson off your hands as well seeing as hes just another player that doesnt want to play in toronto 🤐
Nope he's a Red Wings Pens fans😉.. sorry..
Great get, really nice contract. See ya guys in a few months!!
@@LockedOnPenguins thanks, we appreciate the Love from Hockeytown!🚨🚨🚨 🙏👍
Tarasenko is a washed up cry baby.
But he just won a cup riding the panthers coat tails.
No..
