All reports have said there is no rush, but both sides expect to get something done.Do we know anything about Crosby's extension yet?
Just hand him a check and say, how much you want for how long.. anything less than 12.5x8 years is a hometown discountAll reports have said there is no rush, but both sides expect to get something done.
Pettersson LetangActually I'm not totally sure Aho is just WBS depth, he may be NHL depth instead. He played 16:23 and 16:46 a night in the last 2 years and gave what appears to be decent results. He was legitimately good in that role in 2022-2023.
With Ludvig out until at least December, I figure Aho's now their #7 defenseman.
Fixed!Your lineup sucksif DOC plays in your top six
Pettersson Letang
Griz Karlsson
Graves St. Ivaney
7th at this point is Ludvig or Shea who aren't too exciting.
You’re right. I would have preferred a defenseman with a bigger body and some PK experience (physicality would be nice) in that bottom pairing over the both of them (e.g. Dakota Mermis, Haydn Fleury, Robert Bortuzzo)I'm not incredibly excited about the Grzelcyk signing, but tbh Brannstrom isn't a sure thing.
Gryz has been a 17-19 minute defenseman on a really good Boston team.
Brannstrom was a 16 minute guy on a terrible Ottawa team that had lots of LHD to insulate him.
Yeah I don't see why Dubas has to re-sign Sid July 1. He's talking to million other guys at this time.
Sid can wait a week. Won't change squat.

Brannstrom has his flaws, although I believe he’s a better option than Grzelcyk with his age and upside.
It’s not really a big deal, since this team isn’t nor should they be competing. It’s just frustrating to see how Dubas continues to construct an unbalanced roster. The fact that he doesn’t have anyone in a provisional role like he did with Shanahan in Toronto is beyond frustrating.
Both Sid and Dubas said they’ve had discussions recently. Can imagine there’s a basic framework that both have agreed to and it’s all about nailing down the rest of the components of the contract.Yeah I don't see why Dubas has to re-sign Sid July 1. He's talking to million other guys at this time.

I imagine it's done as soon as Sid tells Dubas what he wants.Both Sid and Dubas said they’ve had discussions recently. Can imagine there’s a basic framework that both have agreed to and it’s all about nailing down the rest of the components of the contract.
A-ho Take on me....I can use the Aho jokes for a Penguin now.
I could see Sid waiting until August 7th to sign his deal lol 3 x 8.7I’d just assume if Sid was 100% committed to being here the contract would be written up for a signature.
Dubas failed for years in Toronto to establish depth. Seeing him do it here is no surprise.
You've lost your mind, he's 37 yrs old, hell he shouldn't even get 8.7 mil at this point.Just hand him a check and say, how much you want for how long.. anything less than 12.5x8 years is a hometown discount
Makes sense.I could see Sid waiting until August 7th to sign his deal lol 3 x 8.7
Because Sid has earned it. Sid is owed that time and privilege. End of story.The Guentzel move was correct, for sure. Not going scorched earth is not though.
Why re-sign Sid until he's 40 when you're not really trying to win anymore?
*snip*
Even after the way Dubas played hardball with the stars on the Toronto roster? Lol.I imagine it's done as soon as Sid tells Dubas what he wants.
