Agree with DJ. I found my love for Samuelsson had more to do with his last name then it did for his mobility, or lack thereof.

some tidbits:

Saw a good one on twitter from “Fake Craig McTavish” saying…”Wait, you mean Klinkhammer is not Malkins nickname??”

Joking aside…I think Klink was a little better than we are giving credit for, but still…the cost for Perron was assumed to be Sutter+.

Saw Letang saying Perron might have the best hands in the league. Perron has very, very good hands.. but come on now Kris..there’s a couple guys already on your team that might have something to say about that.

Agreed. Love this move.

If we move Martin or another “piece” (looking at you, Rob), we should be in good shape.

Sean: Philip Samuelsson does not have NHL caliber skating ability. We won’t miss him.

Perron is the best-case scenario result of a first round draft pick at the Pens position. You get him now (and will likely re-sign to an extension) instead of rolling the dice in the draft.

He’s taking 39? Then there’s only one nickname for him …. the Cobra.
