Only applies to half their roster though.Salt Lake City is a great place for a young millionaire

Crosby had every opportunity to allow a trade to a contender. Staying with the Pens only prolongs fans suffering. Enjoy.
28 years in Arizona?
The time has passed so quick, the years all run together now.
It certainly has to sting though when you double down for "one last run", and you have Karlsson look and play hardly like anything they expected, are blessed to have both Crosby and Malkin play all 82 games in their mid to late 30s, Crosby having a MVP-type season putting up 94 points, all to be on the outside looking in yet again. They blew it.Their best before date was several years ago.
This wasn't a 2 year hire for the Penguins, everyone knew where they were at.
Pit fans for the most part were happy with Karlsson. They thought he was way better in his own end that previously assumed.It certainly has to sting though when you double down for "one last run", and you have Karlsson look and play hardly like anything they expected, are blessed to have both Crosby and Malkin play all 82 games in their mid to late 30s, Crosby having a MVP-type season putting up 94 points, all to be on the outside looking in yet again.

Karlsson had half as many points this year playing alongside Crosby and Malkin than he did on a horrific Sharks team. Their PP also was 3rd worst in the league this season. He was supposed to help there, but didn't.I was not expecting a MVP Karlsson, one year blip isn't who he is it it who he was.
Letang is 3 years older, on a 35+ for a year longer than Karlsson. I recognize the salary difference is a factor.
One of the best examples of why good ownership is critical. That said, Bettman's legacy is going to be an absolutely massive increase in value of NHL franchises during his tenure. Bill Daly can only hope to ride the same way when he takes over the job.28 years, and never once turned a profit. A Gary Bettman Special.

Karlsson is definitely not the cause or the root problem of the team's struggles. But it's still a trade I don't think the Pens of all teams should have made.
rut roh, players, like everyone else hate paying more taxes.........Utah has a flat 4.85 percent individual income tax rate.
Arizona has a flat 2.50 percent individual income tax.
Utah winters aren't the worse, they're definitely not Quebec city type winters.........I'd imagine there's a number of players who aren't particularly pleased about the idea, especially those signed on longer deals. Between the taxes, the massive difference in weather among other things
I'm sensing Utah will be the bridge capital of the NHL this coming year.............Going to be an interesting transition.
One good thing for the Coyotes / LatterDaySkates is most the defense are RFA, no leverage. But I have to guess some are a year away from UFA.
Young and no families?

anyone who's married has questioned the sanity of the Mormon's idea of multiple wives, I only put my hand on the hot stove once thank you very much...........For multiple reasons.
Just took a peak. Its honestly so sad lmao. I couldnt imagine actively cheering against players hitting big milestones. Its so childish and pathetic, but I'm sure they will tell you they for SURE do not care about the Leafs or are bothered by them.Oilers out of town thread is an embarrassment. The hate for Matthews is unreal.
Don’t think that place is moderated and that kind of talk encouraged.
Jesus is lord. Who are these people!
I don't think you're signing in Arizona for stability or longevityI'd imagine there's a number of players who aren't particularly pleased about the idea, especially those signed on longer deals. Between the taxes, the massive difference in weather among other things
Yeah, just took a peek myself. Man, what a toxic waste dump of butt-hurt basement dwellers...not the team... the fans...who obviously still live in Mom's basement. Some racial epithets thrown in for good measure as well. Stay classy, Oil Fans. Can't wait to read the comments when McJesus finally throws up his hands and bolts for home! And unlike Leaf haters assuming Papi would run back to the desert at his first opportunity...there's not much chance of this team pulling up stakes and leaving, so it is a REAL possibility, not a revenge fantasy.Just took a peak.

Meanwhile check this thread when McDavid was playing on Monday. Just crickets about him.
God I don't wanna deal with another expansion draft

Letang turns 37 next week, Crosby will be 37 next season and Malkin will be 38.Pens have had Malkin and Crosby play all 82 games in b2b seasons. Actually crazy at their age considering their injury history, especially Malkin. Was the 4th time Malkin played 82 games in a year.
