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

[HandshakeLine]

For us that dont watch much hockey, a run down for those 3 players we got from this trade please.

Former Sully Pen who sucks
Zero-event hockey PK guy who sucks
Swedish nerd with an unfortunate name who got drafted 93OA (3rd round) last year.
A 1st round pick someday.

Can’t wait to see people complain despite getting a first back

I'm just stoked I no longer have to watch DOC.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Desharnais is a blueliner that would've been good in the pre-cap era of NHL hockey.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Also, I never got the Pettersson love because I don't like his style of defense, so this trade is already a plus for me.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Danton Heinen > DOC lol

That is pretty much objectively true

but part of me would rather watch the athlete hustle and whiff chances in OC than I would watch Heinen do his bullshit. Dude is just gangly and smart it’s so f***ing boring but he’s an efficient scorer with his minutes

Yeah, especially if you wanted some Derrian Hatcher cosplay. I don't watch a lot of west coast games, but I always thought he was the sort slow, crease clearer that would be okay on teams IF you had an old school D system. I don't think he makes sense to us, but maybe a playoff team will want him.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Farewell to the jokes and discourse around Petts being skinny and not being able to put on muscle.

I was convinced he finally figured it out last spring, but clearly there is hockey IQ issues there

I would rather not watch either, if given my druthers.

Yeah he has the physical tools but the kid literally never took a step forward and those physical tools aren't going to last forever.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Okay now get a 1st for Rakell, dweeb.

Farewell to his airbrushed wizard van sleeve tattoo.

I didn't even know that was a thing but that's the coolest thing I know about him now.

Never hearing the name “the dragon” again would be worth a 2nd and a 3rd tbh.

 

[HandshakeLine]

How about the Viper?

Lots already complaining.

People just can't be happy.

 

[Turin]

Picking like 5th and 14th this year would be pretty sick.

It would be very nice to get a legit top prospect and then swing for the fences in the mid-1st.

 

[cookthebooks]

is this the best trade ever owing to how it incentivizes rooting against the rangers

This is like gamifying breathing.

 

[chethejet]

I prefer the 2026 pick as Rangers may really stink next year. Plus depending on the returns on other Pens, Dubas may be able to move up in deals to get a top center and RW.

 

[sovietsanta87]

Just seems like a lot of capital to give up for a 7 foot bart Simpson that can’t knock over a corn stalk.

 

[IcedCapp]

surely the Habs will give us a 3rd for Desharnais (and the right to continue to make Crosby proposals)

It’s Rutherford.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Heiskanen also out week to week. Maybe Grz could be an option for them
