Salary Cap: '24-'25 Salary Thread: Crosbicles Volume MMXXV - Poolman and Poolparty?!?

If Jarry goes unclaimed and is sent to WBS, how much cap do they save on the roster?

 

[Gurglesons]

If Jarry goes unclaimed and is sent to WBS, how much cap do they save on the roster?

1ish mil.

1ish mil.

League minimum plus $375k.

So, $1.15m?

 

[Sideline]

Jarry has been terrible this year. It's a shame he's fallen so far. Ironically, he's the right starter if we want to tank. Right move to waive him if the goal is winning.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

So to play devil's advocate for a moment: Obviously the TJ contract is a disaster. What could the Pens have done differently apart from not signing him?

Looking back on it the goalies that had good seasons since then and got signed that year are:

Cam Talbot
Dave Rittich

Unless I'm missing anything I think that's about it lol. UFA-wise the other big goalie signings like Korpisalo and Jones ended up being terrible.

I guess in retrospect looking back at it the Pens should have gone with a vet on a 1 or 2 year deal and just hoped for the best. Or explored the trade market.

They should have offered Jarry the same money but for only 2-3 years. If he said no then they should have wished him well. It's not hard, goalies are fungible except for a few.

And they should have never resigned Ned at the price they did. He sucks, I said it all off season that he should not have been signed for more than league min/whetever the max is to send a guy down without cap cost. Then they could have easily have sent him down and brought up Blomqvist.

Now they have two goalies that suck and are even signed for next season. Which is ridiculous.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Whatever is wrong it’s in his head. He lost confidence or the ability to give a crap.

Staring down the double barrel nightly will do that...

Onto the next goalie to break and blame for all the teams piss poor play.

TJ probably doesn't re-sign if they only offer him 2-3 years. I'm certain someone on the FA market would have given him what he got or close to it.

Probably they should have just bid adieu to TJ and hoped that a cheap vet gave them a season or two of competent play.

 

[Icarium]

Only if we had any shot of winning anything in these seasons. As it is these goalies are helping us tank.

Unintentionally, of course but I will take it.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Hopefully Jarry pouts (likely) and doesn't report to WBS (less likely). And then we can come to a mutual contract termination (very unlikely).

Also, just because he's been waived does not mean he's off the team.

Yeah, he only saves them 1.150 buried. 4.225 still against the cap.

I admit that I didn't hate the Ned signing but ONLY because I (stupidly) assumed that it meant a TJ departure was inevitable.

In retrospect it was just another moronic, baffling decision to toss on the ever-increasing pile of them.

 

[Malkinstheman]

You pretty much never want to be doing business with goalies in the 4m-6m range. Either you're happily paying 8m+ for the top guys (Vasi, Otter, Sorokin, Helle) or keep recycling the guys in the 2-3m range

 

[farscape1]

Next up Geno.

 

[Ulf5]

About time

This needs it own thread. Rag gonna have an aneurysm.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Send his ass to wheeling

 

[eXile3]

So…the tank is off?

 

[Lustaf]

I'm just wishing things would have worked out with Lindberg.

I'd prefer to wish they didn't sell
Gustavsson for Derrick freaking Brassard.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Wish they did this like a week ago before the Pens lost a bunch of games against other east teams

What are you going to do if they start winning games? Admit you are wrong?

By all accounts Jarry is a total dumbass who is also a dick and he's been one of the worst goalies in the league.

The team obviously likes Ned. You don't leave a shitbird like that in the room.

 

[Empoleon8771]

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

"This team plays poor defense" and "This goaltender is costing the team games and sure doesn't seem to make up for it as a person" aren't mutually exclusive opinions, ya know.

 

[BillyOcean]

Oh it won't change a thing but it'll make people feel better for a bit. Ned is worse and the kids are kids.

I just hope playing behind this team doesn't screw up the kids.

Where do I send the flowers?

Yet, the other two are just as bad under the same circumstance, so I'll admit nothing because, so far, I'm fricking right.

Blom being the best percentage guy in far less games (8 to 20+) is not some sound qualifier when they all are over 3.0/3.0+ GAA. Jarry at least climb out of is starting 6.0 to lead them all.

This team needs quality not quantity and they are right where they deserve to be. Scratch that, they actually should be bottom 5.

 

[Pancakes]

Yeah I doubt he gets claimed. They would have given him away for future considerations already if someone came calling.

And where do I send the sympathy card to you?

 

[Icarium]

Of course he won't get claimed. Did you forget he was already waived once this season and hasn't exactly proven anyone wrong since then?
