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

Dude this team was FINISHED as soon as the Pens lost out on JVR

hahahahahahah

 

[Pens x]

I have to question someone that watches this team and thinks it’s advantageous to acquire EK. Makes literally no sense and caps us out of improving other areas.

He’s a luxury for a team with many holes.

 

[Gurglesons]

Lots of similar comments directed towards me Ala the 17-18 off season.

That really worked out for me. This summer will too, I imagine.

Nah it was finished the moment they signed Nieto. Dubas spent days on that contract and didnt have time for anyone else.

 

[Fiji Water]

How will a good transition and PP help our team with no bottom-6 or goalie?

It's easier to construct a good bottom 6 via trades (unless you are Hextall) than it is to land an elite talent. Goalie is a concern for sure, so we shall see how that is addressed, but I'd rather land an elite defenseman than pay a goalie top dollar.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

"Karlsson would make this team suck!"

Uhhh, this team's sucked for a long, long time. They're gonna suck until Sid retires, then they'll be putrid.

 

[Zbynek]

Nieto signed. Plan the press conference!

Doober... not like this man....

People really expected Dubas to be something else, huh?

The issue isn’t signing Nieto. The issue is the fact he is considered an essential sign. He’s not young, he doesn’t do anything great, etc. if you are crafting a team out of identity what does Nieto bring?

He brings a certain kind of "Mike Sullivan approved" hockey to the table.

I mean the Reilly Smith trade was slick but to be fair, prices are all over the f***ing place right now in the NHL. Feels like it's hard to get a good read on anything. I'm seriously f***ing out when the Jarry re-up is announced though.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Letang, Karlsson.

Damn they’re trying hard to make me bi-curious.

Our pretty/60 would be through the roof.

 

[Jobeycool]

Some of you Pens fans act like Dubas is some magic guy... it will take years to develop these prospects.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Come on Caps, sign Dumo to 4x4. You know you want to

 

[Gurglesons]

Exactly. People will be complaining about him by January. Same crowd criticizing my takes said Jeff Carter was fair value and a great signing now bitch about him every day exactly as I predicted.

 

[chethejet]

Pens will be on what network next year anyway. ATT is done and remind me how the boston beenies will have Pens games and get close to 40 million to do so. We may be better off not watching this Sullivan roster get hammered. You ever hear a coach say we out finessed them.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Bunting turned out to be 4.5 per BTW.

I wasn't as crazy about the idea as some but that seems lower than many expected.

Like I said shit's all over the map so far. Duchene and Zucker over here signing one year market to well-below-market deals and meanwhile you have the get-us-to-the-floor brothers in Chicago. I guess that's leadership tax.

You ain't gotta tell me twice.

Watching our PP is f***ing illegal.... in most states (except WV)

 

[DrDangles]

We really let Zucker walk to sign a 1 year deal in Arizona? I have a hard time believing they even made him an offer if that's what he signed for.

 

[Andy99]

Why are we waiting on Jarry? We could’ve signed Brossoint and some other goalie…anything we sign would be the equivalent

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Infinity/Infinity.
