Jeez look at the Leafs board. They think they are getting a 1st or Tangradi for this guy? I wouldn't do that if he was signed to a several year contract with league min.

lol many were adamant that Antropov would bring a 1st last year. I think a 2nd round pick would be fair for Poni. If Kotalik and Moore get 2nds, Poni absolutely does. I don't see a team giving a 1st for him though.
Maybe were better off getting the likes of Stempniak and Tkachuk and paying alot less. I just don't want to overpay for someone that is getting overhyped at the deadline. I'd rather give up a 1st for a sure thing in Selanne than a 2nd for Poni.

I think thats very comparable. There is no way they are getting Trangadi or Caputi for him.
Brunette would be nice at 2.3 for two more years but is he even available? I think a guy like Tkachuk might take a bit more to get for a playoff run. I'm thinking at least a 1st rounder for a rental.
All sort of depends on how they fare between now and the deadline. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to jettison some of their older assets for draft picks/prospects.
A 1st for Tkachuk? Given the Guerin precedent last year, I can't see him fetching that much. A 2nd would be reasonable.

does tkachuk have a NTC? seemed like snow was pretty handcuffed by that at last year's deadline, if we're talking about guerin.
He's always working, is very defensively responsible. Earlier in the season when the Leafs were really bad he was leading the team in +/-, and for a while was our only positive +/- player.
He'll stand in front of the net, go behind it and dig in the corners.
Not physical in the sense he'll initiate the hits, but he is not afraid to use his 6'4 220 frame to his advantage.
I think Tangradi for Poni would be too much, as would Depres, although the Leafs lack defensive prospects aside from Blacker.
Caputi would maybe be a good alternative coming back the other way. Toronto native, power forward who goes to the net, exactly what Burke covets.
I would love to have Dustin Brown on this team, but that's not probably going to happen. Right handed and signed to 2012 at a resonable price.
The asking price there would be Staal.
That trade was actually discussed on the main board in depth a little while back, if you wanted to get an idea of what Brown would cost, from a Kings p.o.v

Start with a 2nd, not one GM is going to offer a 1st or their top prospects for a UFA rental. If a bid war starts, then it will go from a 2nd too a 2nd + and I wouldn't think any GM will go beyond that, not with out adding other pieces.
A right-handed winger who is signed for a solid cap hit for a number of seasons.
Unless this right handed winger isn't particularly good he's going to cost quite a lot. Anytime you describe an ideal situation, chances are the demand for that situation is going to be pretty high.

Hey thanks, been a big Pens fan since 90 and I just stumbled onto the hf boards. Sorry if i repeated that.
You guys act like right-handed, top-6 wingers are some sort of holy grail thats unattainable.
News flash: practically every team out there has one except the Pens.
A guy like Dustin Brown / Setoguchi / Boyes would be clutch, but I could settle for less. The Penguins have a decent amount of valuable assets, so acquiring one of these guys isn't out of the realm of possibility.

I would sell my kidneys to get Boyes on this team.
What do you think it might realistically take to get him?

Ponikarovsky isn't an ideal option, but he's certainly a solid option. He's not a liability in any facet of his game, he can put up some points and play some solid defense. Most likely he'd be a good fit with Malkin, since they're similar speed-wise and I think Geno really needs a little help.
If a 2nd gets it done, then I think it's a no-brainer.
