I would have liked Dillon on defense he has a little edge to him.

I could do without all the awful/needlees bonehead penalties he takes.

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

That Tanev signing is insane.

Touché would have probably gotten himself a stare down from sully and get benched.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

That Tanev deal sure is a contract one can get.

 

[BrookswasHere44]

Since everyone is going to now twist these signings into some weird “everyone complains about everything”

Tell me how signing a 30 year old LHD and a 26 year old winger on day one of UFA is helping us get “younger and hungrier”?

Please explain to me how this is a coherent plan Dubas is following.

Inconsequential signings. If any youth shows a pulse they'll get minutes one would think. POJ had his chance and might yet get another. Who else is there?

The forwards won't be blocked by anyone signed yet

Kyle's old friends in Toronto trying to make his Graves contract look good by comparison

Have you watched Mike Sullivan coach?

That Tanev deal...

I can stomach anyone if it's either short term or low money. If it's both term and money.... ugh, no.

Rocking that full NMC. Pegged for a trip to Robidas Island.

We should be all over this…but of course we won’t be…we’re more interested in getting draft picks below the first round to pick up 30+ players lol

 

[K Fleur]

Brandon Tanev’s deal still has a year left lol.

 

[OnMyOwn]

I’m fine with either of the players we’re tied to. They’ll be cheap and likely shorter term. Also not 33+ years old. Beau is a bit more intriguing based on past performance. The D is what it is. You can never have enough, IMO.

 

[Andy99]

I also don’t understand the rush to sign Beauvillier and Grz even if they were buy low candidates…why sign them 12:01 on July 1 and tie up your money? Why not wait out the market and see if a better candidate who didn’t get a contract shakes loose? Why not look at RFAs not qualified who are younger…dont understand this approach at all..

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Pinto would be a good pickup, yeah. Dunno if/why he'd want to sign here long term though.

These contracts are kinda nuts, lol.

Yeah that’s what’s frustrating. If he signed those two on July 5th, then fine. It is what it is. He tried on others and they signed elsewhere. We’re not a popular destination so we might be stuck with guys like that. Hopefully they play well and we can flip them at the TDL.

But on day one? Why?

 

[Bishop7979]

I know they aren't going to sign anyone of note, but beauville and grzelcyk? No interest in either. I'd rather take that money and offer it towards some combo of Bean, duclair, foegele, hayton and some young guys that could use a change of scenery on two ways like max Jones, Tyler Madden, Ivan morozov,

Kindergarten Kyle. A mixture of Sleepy and a trashcan.

What you want to do is what Dubas claims he was going to do.

What is going to happen is what Mike Sullivan wants to happen.

We all know who runs this franchise.

 

[MeinerEiner]

Are you overreacting like this because Yohe says the Pens will sign these guys? Come on...
