Comments on: Penguins sign warm bodies on first day of lukewarm free agent signings http://www.penguinpoop.com/2012/penguins-sign-warm-bodies-on-first-day-of-lukewarm-free-agent-signings/ Pittsburgh Penguins News - Blog Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:17:55 +0000 hourly 1 By: Disco Stu http://www.penguinpoop.com/2012/penguins-sign-warm-bodies-on-first-day-of-lukewarm-free-agent-signings/#comment-12688 Disco Stu Thu, 05 Jul 2012 21:37:39 +0000 http://www.penguinpoop.com/?p=11779#comment-12688 I’m sorry. Instead of fired, I guess what you were really implying is that he sucks because he didn’t shoot his wad by overpaying above average talents superstar money. When did Aaron Asham become the second coming of………anyone? Tanner Glass is the exact, same type of player that Asham is. He is sandpaper and a guy who will mix it up and come to the aid of/defend guys like Crosby and Malkin. You know, kind of the way Asham did. If you check their stats, you’ll see that Asham is 5′ 10″/210 and scored 5/11 last year with 76 PiMs. A quick check of Tanner Glass finds him to be 6′ 1″/210 and he scored 5/11 last year with 73 PiMs. Sounds like the same guy to me.

Do you even follow the NHL outside of the Penguins? It sounds like you’re the kind of fan who thinks everyone we have is great, and anyone on another team isn’t because if they were, they’d be a Penguin. I’m pretty sure the Penguins management is better equipped to judge talent than either of us are. If they chose not to bring back Sullivan or Asham, it was probably for a pretty good reason.

As for Bobby Ryan, Anaheim needs Defense badly, hence their signings of Sheldon Souray and Bryan Allen in free agency, and the Penguins just happen to have defensive prospects to spare. Nash will probably be a little more difficult for them to pull off as I really see him ending up in Carolina. Chris Stewart, on the other hand, (Don’t worry, I’ll wait for you to Google him) can probably be had from St. Louis for a couple of prospects, a bag of pucks and a used skate sharpener.

PS Yes Brandon Sutter is Jordan Staal (At least according to most knowledgeable hockey pundits plus we got Dumoulin and Pouliot as well)

You said it, not me… And what is that all about “Tanner Glass IS Aaron Asham” or “Brandon Sutter IS Jordan Staal”?!? How old are you, 15? Uh, sorry to inform you, but no. They’re not the same person/player… Yeah, Bobby Ryan or Rick Nash, clap clap clap… Beautiful. And what will Shero offer in a trade to get any of those player you mentioned, genius?

This whole story about Sullivan signing with Phoenix because he got tired of waiting for the Penguins is total BS. The Penguins had no interest at all in bringing Sullivan back. Asham isn’t gone. He just changed his name to Tanner Glass. Will you be okay if we didn’t overpay for Parisie but end up trading for Bobby Ryan, Chris Stewart or Rick Nash? Just calm down a little and back off the ledge. It’s only July and the season doesn’t start until October.

No we have no Staal, no Sullivan, no Asham, and like last year,no defense. And since Bill Guerin retired, no winger to play on Crosby’s line. Oh, but we still have Paul Martin. Again, nice job…

I applaud Ray for not wasting his money on either player as neither is worth either 13 years or over $100 million
