Prospect Info: '24-'25 Prospects Thread: Generation Z

[HandshakeLine]

Quinn seemed like a horrible idea when it was announced and I don't think anything has changed.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Anyhow, anyone have any updates on Howe? I'm more interested in his development than most of our other prospects.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Yeah I still don't know what Quinn's purpose was/is tbh. Was he supposed to fix the power play? Was he supposed to be the EK Whisperer like Tocchet was apparently the Kessel Whisperer? Beats me.

Pals with Sully though, that's enough for me (to despise the dude being on the coaching staff).

 

[Mr. T]

I think they meant to hire Dan Quinn and just screwed up.

It absolutely should be a slight on Winnipeg, lol

Safe assumption you're not wearing the I Got Pegged in Winnipeg shirt I sent you for Christmas?

It's out at the cleaners.

I'm currently wearing my "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fistmas" ensemble.

Dubas silently has to be OK with a top 10 pick and maybe higher with lottery luck. Plus what he gets back from the Karlsson, Rust and potentially Jarry trades in the off season. Add in the second and prospect from moving Petts at the TDL Cap increase next year gives the Pens more ability to move contracts. Lots of picks, some prospects and continue the rebuild. Sid sells tickets in the meantime.

I think Jarry and Graves are buy-outs unfortunately. But at least Graves might be salvageable with a more coherent defensive style.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I dunno if you even bother with buyouts tbh unless you're really trying to open up as much space as possible to chase somebody huge in FA or to take on a heap of terrible players for picks/prospects.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Yeah with Jarry and Graves buyouts you're only getting substantial savings for one year. After year 1 the savings are 1.1m or less. You might as well just make both of them cheer leaders for WBS for the rest of their contracts and get the 1.1m in savings.

It's gonna rule when we move Pettersson to get a 1st that we'll package to have someone take Jarry off our hands.

Take solace in the fact that it'll be a 2nd and some loser 3rd liner (or prospect who projects to be a loser 3rd liner).

Narc.

Less about being a narc and more not wanting every single thread to turn into complaining about Sullivan/Jarry/Graves/Dubas/ect.

I'm not saying you're not allowed to complain, but at least keep it to the appropriate threads. I'm in this thread for prospect updates, not a debate on whether buying out Jarry is the appropriate move.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Reality is Dubas will try and add more pieces next

Might be a couple lean years first. Guess we'll see.
