A real jerk thing
That has less to do with Carolina and more to do with rampant mismanagement and shady usage of funds.

Which - as a Pens fan - gives me flashbacks to the Howard Baldwin days. Maybe not exactly the same situation but close enough.

Strangely enough, Torts managed to mentor one Mike Sullivan. Perhaps he just soaked in his positive teachings and completely ignored the rest of it (about 85-90% of his philosophy).
Learning from Torts is simple.
After observing him for 5 minutes you know, "ok...everything he's just done...I'll do the opposite."

I don't think so. They can expand 1 team to Vegas and have a few markets in mind to relocate a team like Carolina if it happens. Quebec City is waiting in the wings. That could be part of why they aren't being considered for expansion this time around.

I hope the NHL has been wary of Karmanos since he considered moving the Whalers to an abandoned aircraft hangar in Columbus.
Honestly it's a miracle, ordained by the Lord's messenger on earth Jim Rutherford, that a Karmanos team won the Cup.

Who is criticizing them for that? When were they supposed to have it? It's not like Howe's funeral was in downtown Pittsburgh and they were standing outside tooting on vuvuzelas.
I made the mistake of going on FB and reading some comments from the mentally deranged. I should have known better. I'm pretty sure people like that think that the Penguins formed ISIS.

This may sound cold, but I don't think there are many people in Pittsburgh who care much about Howe.

Lmao, I love seeing the Hawks continue to dump away youth. Those contracts to Kane + Toews, yeeeouch.

Guess chicago wants to take its chances with drafting another Saad and guys on an ELC to help their cap situation.

Here comes Skinner
They kind of have to. They don't have much wiggle room under the cap, and need to fill out their roster.

Yeah, they got 3 Cups when Toews & Kane were signed for under market value. Kind of hard to feel bad for them now. Surprisingly it seems like the Pens have done a better job of managing the cap, although Crosby signing under the old CBA certainly helped there.

The Hawks won 3 Cups while getting absurd value for their core...now they're paying for it.
I don't know how anyone can feel sorry for them. They're still going to be right in the thick of things next year.
The hilarious thing is the segment of Hawks fans that are trying to figure out how they can fit Malkin under the cap.

Brace yourself apparently we are getting a heavily used Brent Seabrook back.

To their credit only a few of them actually think he's unhappy with the Pens and just itching to go play in Chicago immediately after he just won a Cup.
Anyway, it's not summer until Malkin trade rumors start flying. What is this, the 9th summer in a row he's being traded? I guess we can thank Eklund this time for our yearly entertainment.

I just saw that Hawks thread. Malkin clearly unhappy playing with Sid, Pens need to move him to fit in Bonino's massive raise. Good lord. Who are these people.

And when you need to make big cap clearing moves, who else would you call, but the Hawks.
