Yeah I know Habs fans have talked this one to death but this topic was on another forum so I figured I'd bring it up here to see if anyone has any thoughts or thinking the same way I am about a possible deal for him.
Suggested was:
To MTL:
Dustin Penner
3rd in 2011
To EDM:
Jarred Tinordi
1st in 2011
and I said:
Mtl needs to dump salary so unfortunately this won't work.. they' only have 1.8 to the cap.. I think the deal PG is trying to work out right now involves either Kos or Gomez. As a side not Brian Burke has officially ticked me off.. he's come out and said that the leafs highest priority is to get a D man not a forward and yet he's jumped in on the Penner talks.. I think just because he doesn't want to see Penner n Mtl so he's trying to screw up the negotiation rather then actually wanting him on TO. |

He's like an uninspired Franzen. A mule in front of the net, I'd even venture to say he's got better playmaking skills. If someone, other than Anaheim, can motivate this guy, look out. Would have like to see this guy back with Getzlaf and Perry. |

First of all, I think the Oilers did the best they could with the trade, especially since Penner was only guaranteed to be with the team one more season. It definitely doesn't hurt the Oilers to be without Penner for the stretch run, because they are actually better off to finish dead last rather than 28th or 29th. (I'm not suggesting it's the team's goal though.)
Prospects are prospects (even first rounders, especially those in the latter part of the first round), so it's speculative on how Teubert will turn out for the Oilers. The Kings first round pick will be middle of the pack at best (probably 17th or 18th), and if you look at the history of mid-pack picks, some turn out to be stars, some are so-so, and there are many duds who never play more than 50 games in the NHL.
As a coach or GM (especially if you're trying to build a winner), Penner is a frustrating player. I don't agree that he's a physical player – he's just a big player with very good hands, who doesn't like to use his size. (I agree with Beans' comment that he's tough to knock off the puck though.)
The Oilers need players who want to win at all costs. I'm very impressed with the young talent, who despite a losing season, work hard every shift. Penner doesn't display the emotion, care or interest most of the time, so he sticks out like a sore thumb. I've made this comment before, but no one saunters on the forecheck like Penner. The Oilers are better off without him, and the future will tell whether Teubert and the first round pick make this trade a win or a big win for the Oilers. At the very least, my opinion is the Oilers made a good deal, and it could turn out to be a great deal. |

Agreed, I gave the nod to Lucic because of the supporting cast he has. |

Lucic

Very similar outside the hits, nod to Lucic.
Switch these players teams and you probably have the same numbers just the other way around? |

Patsy what Gauthier did by not getting the major piece that he did was just as bad as saying they give up on the playoffs this year.. so YES.. sell off everyone, get a bunch of draft pics and look towards the future BUT that will never happen in a market like Montreal.. or Toronto even.. they will never have a year where the say they will be "building towards the future" cuz people would lose their minds if that happened.
But thats exactly what they need to do. The future looks crappy in Montreal. Prospects they have now look Ok'ish.. but nothing special. The team is aging and we have no draft picks. So yes sell off what you have now while you still can and get some young guys, and when you get a chance to get that big guy you need you get him instead of sticking your finger up your butt and saying he would cost too much.
Yes Penner would have been an upgrade.. whether he's lazy or not, like Beanz said.. doesn't mean he's NOT physical.. and not physical is an upgrade at any standard right now for the Habs. |

My point was beans is he is not the right fit for the habs and he does not turn the habs into a cup contender,,, with or without Penner the habs do not get past Philly the Bruins or Vancover and to win the cup they would have to play at least one of these teams if not all three!

While i agree with your assessment of him for the most part, i don't agree with the comparison to Lucic. Lucic does "hit a ton"!
Totally agree that Penner is tough to knock off the puck AND from in front of the net! |

Pasty.....very well said. Shows what a realistic fan of a team (Montreal in this case) is expecting! Never say never as 8th seeds have made the final, but at least you're being realistic with your expectations. A few more playoff games for this team and it's core, be it one round or more, will go a long way to developing them when the time comes that they're ready to go on an expected run! |

Production wise, Dustin Penner = Devin Setoguchi (another Shark). Physically Penner is bigger but Setoguchi is faster. Both are equally inconsistent.
Like I said before, Penner hated Mactavish. Take out those 2 years and he is consitently around 30 goals. And I only gave you one if, so stop freaking out. I've seen the guy use his size and nobody can get close to the puck when he does. He is a beast, but has a tendency to play like a guy who weighs 50lbs less |

This cap stuff gets really sticky, not sure of some of it myself. If kaberle`s cap hit is so little for the rest of the season, why did the Bruins have to move both Wheeler and Stuart to make room for only a 1 million cap hit ??
Its easier to imagine player salaries as a depreciating liability - over time, the hit to your cap number goes down. Kaberle's cap hit on Oct 1 is 4.25M. As the year goes on, that cap hit goes down on a pay period by pay period basis, until a week ago when that cap hit was about 1M (or slightly less) - ie, that is the actual amount of money remaining owed to Kaberle for the year.
However, because the Bruins were up against the cap, they had to shed salary to make room for just that 1M, and as everyone's salary is a depreciating liability, they had to shed about 1M in current cap hit, which is the same as about 4.25M in cap hit back in October. Wheeler+Stuart = Kaberle, roughly.
Ryan - the free version of capgeek only shows yearly cap hit to whatever team acquires him, and actual cap number for the team currently. If you want detailed cap numbers, including pro-rated values, there is a paid-for add on, that probably gives it.

The discount goes both ways though. Players with 4M salaries that are sent out also only alleviate a fraction of their yearly cap hit. |

Penner is a one time 30 goal scorer. Fluke season. Hasn't approached it since. That's like touting Cheechoo as a 50 goal scorer and wanting to trade him for Taylor Hall.
The difference between Penner and Cheechoo is that Penner scored his 30 goals last year and is on pace for around 30 this year. Cheechoo went down year after year since the 2005-2006 season. Penner is a legit 30 goal scorer now if healthy.
I wouldn't mind having him with the Leafs, and to Jon Polley, why wouldn't Burke be interrested in a player like Penner. He drafted him and he was really disapointed (or should I say pissed) to see him leave Anaheim. If he's available I'm sure Burke is in the mix. |

Posted - 02/27/2011 : 07:18:26
I think we will see Penner moved, but kind of hoping it doesn't happen until tomorrow...same with all the other names floating around today.
The next 2 days is going to be pretty well hockey 24 hours a day for me haha. First off, the Rangers play this afternoon against Tampa Bay. I'm playing in 2 hockey leagues this winter, and in one of them, i have our 2nd playoff game this evening at 7:45. Then tomorrow i'll be glued to the tv watching trade deadline coverage all day long :) And then finally, the playoffs in my other league begin tomorrow night! |

Chris Stewart, for example, counts as a $788,000 cap hit for the Blues this season, and then back to a $2.9 million cap hit for next season. So both Penner & Hemsky would be approx $1 million cap hits for this season. |

he did grow late i read somewhere in his draft year.. (which he was not drafted) he was something like 5 11 160 lbs soaking wet

Oh God no ..... I'm first to admitt the habs need to get better if they hope to have a impressvie playoff run, but not at the price of the futur,,, the habs are in a sticky place along with many teams it's called medicorey,,, this team needs to improve it's young core and build though the draft in order to be a prennial contender, or they can just keep adding whatever parts are available to sustain the 10th to 6th place team they are now,... Adding Penner would be nice but at the cost of thrid round picks no way , and i am not arguing that he is not worth 2 first round picks but not to the habs,,,
The habs can pull out of this medicore stage if they continu to build good strong young drafts picks.
Paciorrety is showing signs of being the first round stud they picked a few years ago
Subban is showing he as all the tools to replace Markov
Tiordi looked great in the pre season and as beans said 6ft 6 d men do not grow on trees espcially with his pedigree
Leblanc is well on pace to do as Paciorretty has spend some time in the minors and crack the line up as a top six,
Danny Kristo is very close to being a blue chip prospect
Lars Eller has shown me no reason to believe he can not become an extremly effective 2 way second line center
David Deharnais has 6 goals in 23 games in his first longterm stint in the NHL playing third line minutes
I'm not saying these guys are going to make the habs a dynasty but young is the way to build a team these days and giving up picks for penner will not make the habs a cup contender but all these prospects add in a couple well palced FA pick up and Cammalleri Gionta still under contract Price aswell,,, and a couple more first round picks in 3 years or so this team can go from one that everyone is surprised to make the playoffs to a team that is a perrinieal contender and divisonal winner! As a fan i'll take my chances with this team and plan for the futur
