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

[metalan2]

I honestly expect Jarry to be better next year. We only have 2 more relevant years. Don't really care about years 3-5.

Why do you expect that?

 

[TimmyD]

So DeSmith is on the way out it seems

 

[farscape1]

Well time to write the Pens out of the playoff contention for the next 5 years. Horrible Horrible job by Dubas.

 

[Pancakes]

That's actually interesting. Someone to push Jarry and/or start when he inevitably gets hurt

 

[Pens x]

Harry Potter can shove his broom where the sun doesn’t shine.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

f***ing Ned? Whewwww buddy, they better find a way to land a PPG winger or the most defensively sound bottom-6 in the league.

 

[Ugene Magic]

This is never gonna get old...

 

[Andy P]

lmao!!! I knew this was going to happen! He couldnt trade carter, granlund, or petry so the whole time he messed with Karlsson we lost out on actual good players that could help us make an impact and now he panicked and made these signings to fill our roster. Huge overpayment on Jarry

Not to say this is what the roster will look like night 1 but this is not winning a championship and will be fighting for the last wildcard spot again

Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
Smith-Malkin-Rakell
Nieto-Granlund-Nylander
DOC-Accieri-Carter

Graves-Letang
Petterson-Petry
POJ-Rutta

Jarry
Desmith

 

[Andy99]

Tristian and the pens needed each other he was never going anywhere

So if he needed us, why couldn’t he sign for a 2 year term?

 

[Epic Neal Time]

I'll wait to see what we do with DeSmith.

 

[DrDangles]

JFC

 

[Jobeycool]

awwww… I wanted an EK65 meltdown.

Just hang on there .. hold on to your horses.. still has a chance...Would be moving cap space out.

 

[deakka]

Not that the extra years matters. Gonna help the rebuild.
Also, we ain't winning.
Window is shut. Last 2 years with a chance (albeit a small one) wasted.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Acciari, Smith, and Neito all good pick ups.

If Acciari and Nieto are here for 4th line duties I'm happy. Anymore expectations and I'm not

 

[Your Boy Troy]

I believe that Jarry is capable turning it around, but Dubas once again gets taken behind the woodshed when it comes to contract negotiations.

 

[Peat]

Well this is underwhelming

 

[bigdaddyk88]

So if he needed us, why couldn’t he sign for a 2 year term?

Because they offered 5

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Why do you expect that?

Career average, improved blue line, improved defensive play in the bottom 6.

 

[eXile3]

Find another team

Maybe if you don't like it you should find another message board.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'll wait to see what we do with DeSmith.

He's a run of the mill backup making <$2 million AAV. He's gonna be dumped for like a 5th rounder imo.

 

[Pancakes]

Scorching hot take: Ned/TJ is a pretty good platoon.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

No. And i'm being serious right now: Jarry is f***ing trash, and every person who defends him is bigger trash for refusing to acknowledge he's f***ing trash.

Like trash inception
Trashception?

Jarry
Desmith

That third line makes me a sad panda.

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

EK65 is still possible. Just gotta get rid of at least Granlund and Petry.

 

[Epic Neal Time]

Mostly I mean who they bring in to replace him. (If they do)
