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

[Empoleon8771]

Is Novak even really a center? Faceoff % is only 43% and he doesn't even take that many

He was primarily a center before this year but I believe he has mostly played LW this year. Believe that's what Preds fans said.

 

[Darren McCord]

This happened??? Is this good? I dont' know Novak

You dont Know-vak.........

I'll see myself out.

 

[Coastal Kev]

All in all

Bunting for Novak (-1 million)
Desharnais for Schenn (+750K)
4th for a 5th

Odd start but im interested

Weird

The Nashville Penguins line

Tomato Nova Glass, sounds like some lame ass Marvel character.

Look at Novak’s hit totals lol. You gotta go out of your way to hit that little. I’m sure he’s an effective player but that + he also blows on faceoffs.

It's not just the lack of hits, it's a severe allergy to any kind of contact/board battles. There may be softer players in the NHL but there can't be very many. We all know how much Sully loathes "toughness" (good thing Schenn isn't any tougher than Desharnais, who was a joke here) but this is taking it a bit far.

Rickard Rakell, pack your shit!

 

[SEALBound]

Freidman on the intermission report just briefly hit on Karlsson - said most likely after the signing bonus is paid this off-season is when it's more likely that he would be moved.

 

[Jacob]

This guy’s whole career is just weird. First of all I thought he was Czech but he’s from Minnesota, just a Czech name. But his college and AHL stats look like a d-man’s, then he suddenly figures out where the net is as an NHL rookie? What the hell.

 

[pensfan71]

Now we just gotta get Evangelista for a 5th

I also think it should be pointed out how atrocious Bunting has become at 5v5 at this point. His overall stat line for this year was decent, with him playing at essentially a 20 goal, 40 point pace (14 goals and 29 points in 58 games). However, he only had 5 goals and 13 points at 5v5 this year despite playing about 60% of his 5v5 ice time with Crosby or Malkin this year.

He had essentially the same 5v5 statline that O'Connor had for the Penguins, who had 4 goals and 13 points in 53 games for the Penguins. His 5v5 points/60 of 1.07 is less than Glass' 1.17. He was a completely useless player for the Penguins at 5v5 this year, he really devolved into a PP specialist.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

He will be, I have a tingly feeling it happens tonight. Dobby is on one tonight

Rakell won't be traded.

Honestly wasn't great on the PP in the latter games either

Another thing about Bunting is the refs obviously hate him. He could get a stick shoved into his mouth and they’d call him for holding.

“Has become”

Novak goes to 2C if they trade Rakell.

Watch Mikey Bunts come back and go on a tear now that he's not stuck under Sullivan.

Yeah I figured Schenn wasn't going to be here long, that he'd be moved and I think Dubas could retain just to get a better pick or prospect. He has 2 slots back this summer to move anyone he wants to later on.

Dude must have went to Kessel’s hockey school.

On the same page!

Knies or f*** off!

I hope he does so the Preds pass us in the standings

Niemela would be a nice get but I'd want a pick back as well.

Good lord that's just flat out awful.

Also I am 99% sure Rakell won't be traded. They know he's the only winger that balances Sid. Also stop f***ing Geno over.

Ps - Bryan Rust can go f*** himself.

 

[pensfan71]

Also, going back to the Dregs/CJ tweets, another thing to realize is they're Leafs gobblers sooooooo very much negotiating through the media

I hope to see a Schenn + Acciari to Toronto by noon tomorrow

 

[pensfan71]

If Utah could stop signing their FAs and send their 1st over for Raks that would be gr8
