Get to Know Your New Prospect: Quinn Beauchesne

The Penguins select Quinn Beauchesne at 148th overall. He’s a mobile, right-shot defenseman whose steady growth, skating ability, and emerging poise make him an intriguing long-term project on the blue line.

Beauchesne doesn’t have one standout skill, but his game improved consistently all season. He’s active offensively, often jumping down from the point to get involved in plays and create chances, even if his production hasn’t caught up to his involvement yet.

What separates him is his speed. Beauchesne is a quick, explosive skater who can close space defensively and recover quickly when caught up ice. His skating and defensive IQ make him reliable in rush coverage and difficult to beat one-on-one.

His strengths lie in his mobility, defensive reads, and willingness to stay engaged offensively.

Kyle Dubas just mentioned something other GMs have echoed, which is that the cap going up has meant more teams retaining their talent rather than being squeezed into making trades like in the past. Hence, less action (so far).

The Penguins have made 13 picks, their most since 1994, when they had 14.

The franchise record is 15 picks in 1975.

Sidney Crosby wants to remain a Penguin; there's a strong belief that he wants to play out the tenure of Evgeni Malkin who's entering the last year of his deal, and then could potentially could reevaluate where he's at; there are 3 or 4 teams watching - SN 960

Вот что пишут на форуме:

Типа мухлевать с LTIRом по прежнему можно, но состав на матчи ПО не сможет превышать потолок зарплат. Наверняка ктонить найдет обходные пути.

Спасибо! Я так понял заявка на игру должна влазить в кепку, а так хоть 130 лямов у тебя состав!

Kyle Dubas, on the pending RFAs:

“We have a number of guys, and we have a few guys that we are still in conversation with. We’re still having conversations with Tomasino and Dewar. The rest, we’ll non-qualify. We’ll qualify Ponomarev as well just to maintain his rights. I know he’s assigned in Russia, but he’ll have the three years or however long to develop there. We’ll just keep a close watch on him.”

Kyle Dubas suggested the door could be open for Evgeni Malkin to return in 2026-27. Said he will check in with him during this upcoming season.

Kyle Dubas, on Pittsburgh's approach in free agency:

"I would be surprised - unless they were RFAs or trades - that we would do long-range deals with players. But we’ve got a number of players in mind that I think we can give opportunity to."

"They won’t be the one-year contracts. There will be maybe be two or three where we could see if they can be a long-term part of what we’re trying to do here, and be a part of when the team is back in contention.”

Kyle Dubas on potential trades involving Erik Karlsson, Rickard Rakell or Bryan Rust:

"I know more about the free agent market because of the calls we get on our veteran guys. Teams say the the market is nuts. We might have more interest in doing a deal or a trade."

"So, we're going to evaluate everything. We're going to do what's best for the Penguins. But I mean, one of those players' cases specifically, [Rust] means a lot to the team. He's been a part of the team for 15 years."

Dubas cont (On Rust): "Unless it's something that blows us away in terms of what it returns, then it could very easily be looked at to have us return to contention. That'd be a tough one. But we've got lots of calls on him. ... He's also a massive member of the Penguins."

The Penguins have extended a qualifying offer to restricted free agent forward Vasily Ponomarev.

The following players will not receive qualifying offers:

Raivis Ansons
Emil Bemstrom
Connor Dewar
Taylor Gauthier
P.O Joseph
Philip Tomasino

Вот какой смысл был получать в обменах относительно молодых хоккеистов, чтобы отпустить их на рынок

Того же Томасино…

Почему отпускаем? Это разве не арбитраж?

В статье написано, что они станут свободными агентами

А для арбитража, если не ошибаюсь, нужно как раз сделать квалификационное предложение

От Тэйлор Хаасе



Как раз, чтоб избежать арбитража.

В действиях Дубаса не прослеживается какой-то последовательности, стратегии

Хотим стать моложе, в обменах стараемся получать молодых игроков, используя на это какие-никакие активы

Заканчивается сезон - да ну их всех нах))

При том, что места в платежке хватает, много на торге по контрактам этих игроков не выиграть, команда ни на что не претендует и активным игроком на рынке УФА мы не будем
