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

Ugh. Nashville was below us in the standings. Now I'll never know if we put in a claim for Vrana.

Watch that be the domino that forces us to keep Rakell.

"Man, we can't trade Rakell now...we missed on getting Vrana so now we have no replacement LW"

I can clear that up for you, no. Vrana would get 4 mins on the 4th line and never play for the Pens again. He is literally everything Sullivan hates

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Wonder if the Leafs are gonna try and throw something at Seattle for Tanev now.

I dunno, whatever, trade Rakell you f***ing cowards.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Robertson and Niemela for Schenn at 50% seems about right, I'm not super high on Robertson at this point but he definitely fits the Tomasino type of young reclamation project type.

Probably. I'm just tired of the organization having to make decisions catered to a bad coach.

Robertson does absolutely nothing for me. I consider him a neutral value contract that you say "yeah, sure whatever we'll take him" if you need to balance contracts in a trade where someone or something else is the real asset you are acquiring.

 

[Zen Arcade]

What is Nashville doing

Also lol Puljujarvi cleared waivers again

It's bullshit that Cameron Hebig is only 5'10. Dude's name should have an asterisk.

Kelsey has been saying some really dumb things lately.

Might make them more comfortable trading Rakell if they think Robertson can fill in.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Schenn at 50% to Toronto for Robertson and a 2nd
Rakell to LA for Clarke and Turcotte

Finish the year with:

Turcotte-Crosby-Rust
Novak-Malkin-Robertson

 

[AuroraBorealis]

So Surmacz is pulling that potential trade from thin air, or what?
Or did she actually hear something?

I'd f*** with that...screw the 2025 1st, I want Turcotte LOL or Lafferriere but that's a dream

I think a lot of twitter people are spitballing possible moves to help with engagement.

They're just being us but on Twitter. I'm sure she's heard rumblings, her, Hunter Hodies and Patrick Damp seem to be pretty in touch with the Pens but who knows I could be being bamboozled. Either way would rather have them breaking news rather than Rossi and Yohe

 

[Ugene Magic]

Um... No.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That trade last night just shows how completely disconnected the Penguins media is from Dubas at this point. I don't think we heard a single shred of noise about Bunting potentially being traded, in fact I think he was a guy that not many were expected to actually get moved. Especially with him being out due to appendicitis.

Yohe said that all of the Penguins deals would probably be done on Wednesday and Thursday, since they have a game on Friday and wouldn't want to play shorthanded. Using that, I bet that Rakell, Beauvillier, Acciari and Grzelcyk are all traded at 2:00 PM tomorrow.

 

[Bishop7979]

Kelsey has been saying some really dumb things lately.

And the pens said, third pairing with a shut down partner? We will use him to babysit letang and karlsson....

 

[Icarium]

Saying that Gryz is not great defensively is like saying that HFPens dislikes Sullivan a bit.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don't even know what Grzelcyk is supposed to offer on the ice tbh

 

[Deport Ogie]

I don't even know what Grzelcyk is supposed to offer on the ice tbh

That's the wonderful thing about TDL season....it doesn't matter!

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I’m in a discord with Jack lol.

I'm sure the Discords you are part of are full of losers.

 

[Bishop7979]

Schenn and Robertson is too perfect a match given each teams management groups.

You have shannahan getting spanked with a paddle that has schenns face on it grunting about toughness and character while dubas' is sitting in the corner touching himself at the though of bringing in another small "skilled" vanilla forward.

 

[Turin]

Robertson kind of sucks

 

[IcedCapp]

Honestly yeah I'd take Smith with minimal retention for a 2nd and 5th over Smith at 50% for Brisson and a 3rd.

Didn’t Frank criticize the return Dubas got for Smith? But it’s okay when NYR get less???
