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

[ColePens]

Wtf? Why do we keep trying for the 30+ club

 

[farscape1]

Acciari

 

[Josey Wales]

It must be illegal to sign players under 30 y/o in the state of PA.

UMMMMM at what age do they become UFA

 

[Gurglesons]

Acciari at 2 mil is great value expected him to get closer to 3-3.5 mil.

 

[Peat]

2m for Acciari stinks but there's the grit tax for you

Dubas knows his target coach.... if they are young, he won't play them...

Good young players don't make it to FA

 

[End of Line]

Gone are the days of signing the likes of Martin and Michalek here

 

[Ryder71]

Nice

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lara Emily]

First day of Free Agency and all the Pens get is 2 4th liners.

Yeah because their bottom 6 sucked last year something fierce

 

[deakka]

4th liners he damned when our 3rd line.ia still among the worst in the league anchored by our (at the moment) 3C Granlund

Seems like market value? Maybe even a bargain.

10-15 goal gritty 3c for 2mil is great value imo

 

[maxpenguins6630]

That’s our big moves… crazy… a huge overpay with terms and cap hit

 

[Gurglesons]

It’s a pretty solid deal at 2 mil IMO.

Kampf got more term and value. Acciari is a better player IMO.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

He won't be a 4C, he is the 3C and our new shut down center. At least this shows that Sullivan and Doober do actually communicate, and we got a guy who has at least done the job Sullivan will ask of him. All the forwards we've brought in are good defensive players.

 

[Andy P]

My thought process on this is Dubas panicked because he knew he had 1 minor signing and has a press conference coming up in 40 minutes so he went to a player that he had in Toronto and overpaid for a 4th liner that just like Nieto is undersized

 

[Josey Wales]

That’s our big moves… would have signed Blueger for 1,9 1 year instead… crazy…

Crack is Really Really bad for you

 

[farscape1]

$12,308,158 left under the cap​

 

[TimmyD]

2 million is fine.

Dubas being conservative with the cap dollars so far. Maybe he really is in on Hanifin or EK

Or both

Especially when Dooby told us he wanted to get younger !

Are the Pens not allowed to get guys over 6 foot?

 

[Turin]

First day of Free Agency and all the Pens get is 2 4th liners.

Acciari is a good depth player on a movable contract. I thought he was gonna get paid more based on the grit factor

 

[Pancakes]

I want a hot blonde who is a great cook. Sometimes ya gotta settle

 

[Jobeycool]

They all fib a little to get some wheelin and dealin done..

People need to stop with over 30 comments. It's UFA. Most players aren't even eligible for it until they're 28 years old.

Not a fan of the signing. Not productive enough to be a 3c and 10th in the league in hits.
