2012 NHL Offseason Thread: ROCK OUT WITH YOUR LOCKOUT

Surprise, Pens take another defenseman lol.

[Brill Weave]

Fuck seriously if this means the Pens take a run at Parise I'm all for it.

Good trade for both teams i'd say. I think Stars need a bit of a rebuild and Ribeiro gives the caps a solid 2nd line center. (which he is more suited for)

I'm late to this but Joe should have been able to get more. I'm pretty sure he only agreed to trade Riberio to an Eastern team, and thus the low return. I feel like we could have gotten better from Chicago or Anaheim.

Riberio only has a year left on his contract and probably needed to be moved for prospects. The leadership core he was a part of needs to get shipped out. That being said, Morrow needed to go before him. Riberio is the most useful part of that old core, and should have gotten the highest return and kept longest.

Riberio is absolutely horrible defensively and is not a good PP player at all. He's one of the best playmaking centers in the game especially at ES, but he was a big part of our problems last year on the PP. By the end of the year he also had to be heavily sheltered at ES, getting almost primarily offensive zone starts and no defensive zone starts. This forced Jamie Benn to take primiarily defensive draws as Gulutzan could not trust Riberio's line to take defensive draws.

This needed to happen, but I'm disappointed with the return.

[Alderaan]

Overall, it's a great deal for Shero.

[vagus]

NHL has drafted it's first ever top 10 filipino player. Matt Dumba. Last asian to go top 10 was Paul Kariya. Fuck you Pittsburgh for getting a draft d-man in the draft and making a great trade with Stall.

[Callisto]

Ribby is a great rental for the Cassis, good trade there.

[friedfunk]

[Palin]

Starting to get excited about one of the forwards falling to Dallas..

Holy shit I can't believe Forsberg is falling so far.
