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

[Gurglesons]

A Jarry buyout doesn't look so bad now with the cap rising quite a bit these next few seasons.

As such, would you take on Bobrovsky if the Panthers add to him to get rid of him? At the very least I'd want Wilmer Skoog in that trade just because of his name.

I assume Bob is a Penguin next year with a third for Ned tbh.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Give me the Skoog.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

We could have a line of Rutger, Wilmer, and Melvin.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Gracyn Sawchyn too

Why buy him out if the Pens arent up against the cap? Leave him in the AHL.

Agreed. If they aren't close to the cap sitting on the contract makes more sense. If they are jammed up on cap space in 2026 buy him out then.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think you buy Jarry out after the year because you don't want to risk him being a malcontent in WBS and poisoning young players against the organization. You're better off going with someone like Larsson as your AHL starter/NHL call-up than Jarry.

Dubas Says Trade Calls Have Increased, Willing to Spend Assets

CRANBERRY — Expect more Pittsburgh Penguins trades over the next few months, but the types of trades might be surprising. There remains little doubt that more veterans will be moved. Yet, as Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas admitted a few things in his mid-season press conference, he also...

Dubas is just as guilty of this.

The youth movement is exciting, or would be, except for the fact that Sullivan is still here..I want him no where near those players lol

Open a spot for goalies that are actually going to be a part of the future. Kick Jarry to the curb.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Why buy him out when he could be used to get you McKenna?

You pay for teams to take bad players, or you use buyouts when trying to win matters to your team. That is not the case with this team. /shrug

Does the team trade Rakell? He's having a career year, and could probably fetch a nice deadline return. But without him, Sid is playing with 4th liners lol.

Has any beat writer provided an explanation on the call up of Imama? I mean, it's fun to see the guy and I'm rooting for him but given the struggles as of late and the "goals", this seems like such a counter-productive move.

Dan did. It’s one smarter moves made! Give team a player with an edge. You need at least one guys and he’s not blocking anyone. Just a forth line role guy that team needed for awhile. I’m sure boys all like knowing he’s dressed in case something is needed to be done. No one else on team has any edge or balls!

Do they? No, probably not. Should they? Absolutely, if there's interest.

 

[BillyOcean]

Just have Malkin Rust and Crosby play on the same line. Trade Rakell. Crosby doesn't give his boo boo face.

it seems, neither does our gm.



but he still wont fire him

For a couple of months, they get a great pick in the draft and Sid get's shiny new mates next season.
