GDT: Free Agency: Dr Strangedubas or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nerd

[OnMyOwn]

L A Knight. YEAAA

It’ll wind up being Logan Paul, hahaha

 

[molon labe]

That's fake weight at that age. Shakes? Who's he talking with? Whey shakes are great if you're trying to lift hard and add mass but they're not going to give you anything more than better rest and that 'water weight'. 1 month into skating at an NHL pace and he's back to 180.

However, I like the effort and LOVE the idea of a bigger defender here that's actually, you know, big. Not a 6'4" high schooler who can't gain weight.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Give him Petts phone number.

 

[WickedWrister]

Would be wild to trade one of our prospects while at development camp... "thats now how we do things in Pittsburgh"

 

[Andy99]

Nah, you need some form of an elite play driver after Crosby and Malkin. And who knows how long Malkin will be elite at that. Could be a fall off this year, we need offensive help. Tired of watching this slogfest of offense.

That could be EK…doesn’t have to be a forward , see Carolina and Orlov

 

[Pens x]

Well, of you can get him with Petry and Granlund going the otherway...

Yes, I’d obviously do that.

Props to Dubas for making an old team ancient.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

And if Dubas does nothing to get rid of them then thats on him.

Sure but you can't force teams to take guys, especially guys like Granlund who sucks at $5 million x 2, Carter--who was given a goddamn NMC for some reason, or Petry, an aging blueliner who is making $6.2 million x 2.

 

[Andy P]

I’m calling it now, Letang will retire.

If he did retire, how does that affect our cap given his term and contract and age?

 

[Malkinstheman]

Has anyone on the TSN panel said anything about EK (since that original Lebrun thing) ? Seems like the Pens media is just making shit up as usual

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Obviously he's not hanging out with Petts. Good on him for driving up his trade value

"He's really upped his Courics per 60 this year, Mike"

He has the spice melange

 

[Kristopher Letang]

LTIR. No penalties.

 

[HandshakeLine]

lol my second thought there.

"i'm cultivating mass!"

I think EK is only 33... still younger than most of this team ... hahah

 

[Rave7215]

I always love this time of year. People in this thread need to be reminded, year after year, Pittsburgh is not a premier Free Agent destination. Despite having all the cap space, players actually have to want to sign here.

 

[Andy P]

LTIR. No penalties.

Does he still get paid though? His cap just comes right off the books correct?

 

[Malkinstheman]

Oh shit

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Hearing McElhenney talk about how he gained the weight was awful. He had his assistant buy gallon tubs of ice cream and leave them out on the counter in his trailer so he could just chug the room temp liquid down.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Yes. All he has to say is that he’s concerned about the hole in his heart.

Yeah, I heard that interview too. Dude is insane.

And then he got the same gear that they give all the Marvel actors to get back to a normal weight range.

Big Chungus is among us.
