Salary Cap: '24-'25 Salary Thread: Crosbicles Volume MMXXVI: Sid is Still Goat

[Honour Over Glory]

Yes.

According to FSG, Sullivan, dipshits like Yohe and most of Pens media - yes is correct.

And that's why so much has failed.

You know what's funny, Grok will let me make an image of Sid crying in clown make up, even Dubas, but the moment I ask it to do it for Mike Sullivan, it refuses to create any image in his likeness. LOL

I don't know about yinz, but I'm excited to see the Luke Schenn era.

Schenn feels like a big BIG flip candidate

Sure does. Nashville had no retention spots left though. $2.75 million this year and next is a little pricey.

Yohe‘s just being cute. A “king’s” ransom. LA kings.

Yohe too dumb for that.

Nah, the Pens get 2 more slots back next season anyway.

The team has Ufa's in - Beau, Bemstrom, Shea, and Grz. Then the cap is going up and the trades that are likely to happen at the draft and off season to unload players teams will actually want.

Is retaining 50% on 2.75m for a year and a quick fart really going to sink this team? No, Sullivan is already doing that while not being on the cap.

Schenn is a veteran RHD and at 1.375m he's a bargain for a contender to add depth and keep at that price for another season for a lot of these contenders. Dallas would've been a team I think would be curious at that cost, but taking their 3rd and a prospect like Blumel would leave them with no picks in the first 4 rounds, lol.

The moving parts to move EK is an off season situation, moving Raks I don't see happening and they shouldn't retain on Raks anyway. Retention on a short contract like Schenn with the last slot is fine. Especially the kind of player he is and how often teams like loading up on his types for depth.

I think it'd be hilarious if Dubas ended up doing:

To Toronto:
Luke Schenn, 50 retained (maybe dump Bemstrom to them)

To Pens:
Nick Robertson

I'm saying Trotz couldn't retain but Dubas can. There's value there. Certainly more than the 4th Dubas gave up.
