Dimitri FilipovicHOST
Well, I guess there's also the, the point of I get why they didn't make any of these moves last year because of the spot they were in, but, like, it's conceivable.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
I, I think Kyle Dubas is certainly gonna entertain if the right offer comes to, to move a Rakell, for example.
Dom LuszczyszynGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
It doesn't seem like they're gonna move Brian Rust, but, like, moving some of these guys while they're still playing at a high level and, and recouping value, and that's probably gonna hurt their cause this year.
Steele RodinHOST
I have them missing the playoffs in a whole new way here, and this might be it, and, uh, it's all gonna be said and done for that trio right there with Malkin, Letang, and Crosby giving it one last run, 'cause I don't see it this year, but there is still value to be had.
Steele RodinHOST
And at the number five spot I have Rickard Rakell, and he's one of the more underrated multi-category players in fantasy hockey.
Steele RodinHOST
Even though-
Flip LivingstoneHOST
Mm-hmm
Flip LivingstoneHOST
You got questions, you know where to find us, X, IG, hit us into the DMs, slide into those comments.
Flip LivingstoneHOST
We can respond a little bit more for these episodes 'cause we're coming hot and heavy with these breakdowns, Steel, and I think when I see you and I having the same breakdowns and rankings, and I have a feeling we might have the same here with the Pittsburgh Penguins, I have a feeling that that means we might be kind of uncertain of where this team goes, and maybe that means aside from the top couple of pieces, you have to be wary of it.
Flip LivingstoneHOST
My tabs are letting me down 'cause I had a couple of statistics up here and some honorable mentions on this Pittsburgh team, but the fact remains, coming in at number five is Rickard Rakell.
Flip LivingstoneHOST
Brian Rust doesn't make the list for me, and I'll tell you why about both players.
Brock SeguinHOST
So he just feels like kind of a bland pick that is being drafted at kind of what feels like his ceiling around guys that have a little bit more untapped potential.
Brock SeguinHOST
And you can almost perfectly replicate this entire stat profile and get triple position ele- eligibility with Rickard Rakell 35 picks later.
Brock SeguinHOST
That feels like a much better pick in the 12th round than taking Tuch in the eighth round.
Brock SeguinHOST
It's just not a good enough profile to be going that early.
Hunter HodiesHOST
And we'll talk about the bottom six forwards who we think are roster locks coming up here in the second segment.
Hunter HodiesHOST
But to start things off, Pat, the top six forwards who we obviously know that are going to be on the roster: Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Brian Rust, Rickard Rakell, Tommy Novak, and Igor Chervyakov.
Hunter HodiesHOST
That is my projected top six for this upcoming season.
Hunter HodiesHOST
I know this is your projected top six as well.
Hunter HodiesHOST
Rakell and Rust on the top line with Sidney Crosby.
Hunter HodiesHOST
Crosby loves playing with Rust and Rakell, especially Rust.
Hunter HodiesHOST
He has loved playing with him for the last several seasons.
Hunter HodiesHOST
And with those two, I'm expecting to see 20 to 30 plus goals from them this upcoming season.
Jack HaverstockPANELIST
Well, it's a really good first line.
Jack HaverstockPANELIST
Ricard, Rakell, Ricky Rack, Crosby, Rust.
Dean MolbergHOST
Uh-huh.
Jack HaverstockPANELIST
Second line's much the same.
Brian ComHOST
So the question is, can he do it again? And for me, the question is, can Pittsburgh do it again? And I don't fully know the answer to either one of those questions.
Brian ComHOST
But I'm not sure that he has so much space to fall while he's playing on the top power play with Crosby and Rust and Rakell and maybe Malkin.
Elan DubrofskyHOST
I love Erik Karlsson.
Elan DubrofskyHOST
He's made us nervous before, but last year, that end of the season especially, he just, like, really went off.
Taylor HaasGUEST
Yeah, he, uh, they, they didn't expect him to, to, you know, make it in his, in his first season, that's for sure.
Taylor HaasGUEST
Um, I believe in training camp last year they were leaning towards having Rickard Rakell move to center and center the third line, but Ben Kindle gave them a reason to, to get away from that.
Taylor HaasGUEST
Uh, initially, the plan too was to do kind of a load management thing like, like the Ducks did with Leo Carlsson a couple years ago.
Taylor HaasGUEST
And so, you know, Kindle, you know, he would, he would sit every now and then until it became clear that he, he just didn't need that.
Tom GazzolaHOST
Time to make a trade for a top two winger.
Tom GazzolaHOST
Rust? Rakell?" [sighs] And, and I understand Hammer's desire to, like, f- fix a whole problem, however you wanna describe it, immediately.
Tom GazzolaHOST
And, and I think he's not the only one that feels that way.
Tom GazzolaHOST
I know he's not the only one that feels that way.
Kyle KjerHOST
The forwards, protected seven of them.
Kyle KjerHOST
Troy Terry, Jakob Silfverberg, Rickard Rakell, Isac Lundeström, Matt Jones, uh, Nicolas Deslauriers, and Sam Steel.
Kyle KjerHOST
So that's who they protected.
Kyle KjerHOST
Can make a case for all of those players back in the day that, hey, that's the right choice.
Tyler YaremchukGUEST
I talked about, you know, go out and bring in a Vladimir Tarasenko if you can get him for one year, $3 million.
Tyler YaremchukGUEST
Why not look at a guy like Michael Bunting? Why not go explore the trade market and see if Pittsburgh has a Rickard Rakell or a Brian Rust that they're willing to trade you? And it was the same thing.
Tyler YaremchukGUEST
People kinda sat there and went, "Oh no, you gotta give those minutes to Ike and..." And it's like, hey, you can have kids around and also have a fallback plan in case they don't work.
Tyler YaremchukGUEST
You can have depth, because guys get hurt, and this Oilers forward group was arguably missing a piece in the top six before this news.
