As I'm sure all of you have seen, the Penguins and Panthers are anxiously awaiting the decision of Gary Roberts on whether or not he wants to join the Penguins. Lets just do a quick run down of the rumors that have emerged from this (please note, none of these are confirmed)
- The Pens will be giving up a "young player with potential" (god willing this will be Oullet)
- The rumored player is said to be Noah Welch
- Gary Roberts is leaning towards declining the deal
- Toronto has negaged in a bidding war, apparently offering a 2nd, 4th and defensive prospect for Roberts
Personally, I dont think the Pens should give up any players not named Melichar, Scuderi or Oullet for what will amount to a rental. I have never really condoned this kind of move, thinking it ebtter to keep the young guy, especially now in the cap world where young players are even more important. If it is Welch, I am worried that our first call up from WBS will be Micki Dupont.
The way things sound it wont be until tomorrow that we find out. Personally, I am hoping Roberts nixes the deal, because I dont think the Pens should be gearing up for a run this year.
