Recchi put on waivers... Would you pick him up?

[JLB]

why not is he to old?

[atomheart]

salary?

[JLB]

salary?

what would that be?

[Fallsnative]

salary could be worked, the question is who gets benched, Kotalik, Max, Stafford or Pominville? Stafford would be odd man out IMO, because of his age and inexperience. However sending him down would eliminate his experience. I dont see us up picking him up, I think Management likes our RW line-up right now. And for all Max's struggles, Lindy is high on him and continues to work with Max on his skills.

he seems to be sticking with Max so Stafford probably would be the odd man out.

[ddpderek]

hes washed up.

and he be a cancer imo.

[itsMILLERTIME30]

as i stated in the other thread....NO!

God, i hate that guy so much. It'd be like sticking Neil, Tucker or Avery on the team for me.

[charbs]

I wouldn't mind his grit and leadership....wierd to see him though outside of a pittsburgh uniform..

salary?


PITTSBURGH - Mark Recchi's third stay with the Pittsburgh Penguins is apparently over.

Recchi, who played on the Penguins' first Stanley Cup-winning team in 1991 and rejoined them in 2004 and 2006, was placed on waivers Tuesday and is eligible to be claimed by any NHL team.

A day after he was scratched for a sixth consecutive game, Recchi did not accompany the Penguins to Edmonton for the start of a weeklong road trip.

If the 39-year-old right wing is not claimed, the Penguins are expected to negotiate a buyout of his US$1.75 million contract.

Recchi, who has never gotten going offensively this season, has been scratched for seven of the last eight games. He has two goals and six assists in 19 games with a minus-two rating. He has only one goal since the Penguins' season opener.

Even if Recchi does not play for them again, the Penguins want to avoid the messy separation they had with veteran forward John LeClair a season ago. LeClair was waived, declined an assignment to the minors and was eligible for suspension until, after a two-week process, the two sides worked out a contract settlement.

Recchi, who lives in Pittsburgh during the off-season, re-signed with the Penguins before the 2004-05 lockout season. He had 24 goals in 63 Penguins games during the 2005-06 season before being dealt to Carolina, where he had four goals in 20 games while helping the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup.

He signed again with the Penguins last year and played well for most of the season, scoring 22 goals in their first 59 games. But he slumped down the stretch, getting only two goals in his final 23 games and none in five playoff games.

Despite that late-season slump, the Penguins chose to bring back both Recchi and 41-year-old forward Gary Roberts to a mostly young team that seemed primed to be a Stanley Cup contender this season.

Roberts, who had seven goals and six assists in only 19 games with Pittsburgh last season, has also slumped much of this season and has one goal and 10 assists in 25 games.

Recchi was waived only a day after the Penguins recognized his 500th goal, scored last season, with a bobblehead doll giveaway at their Monday night home game against Phoenix. Recchi has 510 goals in 1,357 NHL games with the Penguins, Flyers, Canadiens and Hurricanes.

[SabresFan220]

In a word, no.

[JLB]

how many of these are there?

[bduff54]

cancer, what makes you think he would be a cancer?

[theratt17]

Pittsburgh waived him for a reason.

[bduff54]

yeah they waived him because he did not fit into their plans, not because he was a cancer.

You don't play in this league for aslong as he has being a cancer.

[jlpubarch]

I would pick him up...only to waive him 2 days later (you know after he had found a nice place to stay in the region)

Nothing would please me more than to ruin Mark Recchi or Doug Weight's lives since their ship jumping Hurricanes cup run.

Surely not 'ruin'...but be a serious pain in his ass...it would be fun, and a complete waste of his time and efforts.

[bduff54]

haha, ok. that ECF loss still hurts i see

[charbs]

I'd take him in an instant, he'd be a great 4th liner.

[ddpderek]

cancer, what makes you think he would be a cancer?

I do not think he be a good player to bring into the mix. Im not sure how our guys would respond to him or how he would respond to him.

plenty of aholes stick around in this league because of there talent.

[pi2000]

old, slow, small, out of shape... NO. bad fit for this team.

What? How about Ryan/Peters?
