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

[Ugene Magic]

The guy only got a 1.5 bump on his current contract that takes him to 34. I'm with @Zirakzigil that he went light on the cap hit, the term and conditions are serviceable.

For a #3 they got a hell of a deal.

I wouldn't exactly say he's a #3, but that's just quibbling over middle pairing guys.

On the Pens he was a number #3 without question. Had they had a true #2 he would be a #4.

Considering both Letang and Karlsson are on the same side.

I think you guys have forgot you can't have 6 Kris Letang's and if you don't have a Petts, you'll be looking for a Petts.

I don’t think that means much for most teams. He’s a solid second pairing guy simply just because he’s okay as far as mobility goes but as he loses a step l he’s got nothing else to go on.

I don’t think he’s the most solid part of a pairing ever, which why I’d but him as 4/5 kinda guy.

Everyone knows you put four Derrick Puliots in a glass jar and after three of them eat each other, the last one is a Petts.

 

[The Old Master]

They ain't trading him.

why? now is the best time. sid's out so he can't miss him.

What's the brain trust here believe the next move is?

EK, Rakell, depth?

I'd like to see some sort of random big move to secure our 2C going forward - get it locked in, then sell pieces. That or grab another big defenseman to get that group more and more seasoned together. I'd look at the next part of the season as an opportunity to get 25 games in towards next years' team rather than just letting it fade away into obscurity for no reason.
