All I'm gonna say is, this is the kind of game they lose 10 of 10 times the last couple seasons. Tonight, they delivered a fairytale, instead.
Huge congrats to Sid and Geno

Nurse is also pretty shit so yeah, seems like a Sullivan/Dubas target.Yea but he was also a Greyhound when Dubas was GM, so we're talking about an unstoppable force vs an immovable object
Saying this is never going to make it true. Hes now a negative value asset because he sucks now like he sucked then. The best available ufa goalie was literally anyone else.It was exploitation of a weak market. He was the best available UFA goalie.
Yea pets + Karlsson
I think Gurgles was joking but honestly a Jarry + Graves for Huberdeau trade seems interesting. Calgary is getting total shit for the return but Jarrys contract only has 3 years after this season and Graves has 4. Calgary gets out of a huge salary for 6 more years after this season. Big risk to take for the Pens but you potentially get a good winger for Sid. The last 3 years of Huberdeau's contract will be irrelevant.
I'd do it in a heartbeat. I don't think Calgary would
First star of the week potential.I was waiting for this update

They would be paying Jarry to be a backup for wolf. He even lives in Alberta. So easy sell to be.Watch Wolf and u will realize pretty quick they will laugh at this offer…
Jarry and Graves to Edmonton for Nurse
Which team KYS first?
His NMC says no too.Isn't Nurse McDavid's bff? No way they'd move him.
Nurse is also pretty shit so yeah, seems like a Sullivan/Dubas target
Yeah that's why it would be..
DOC - Crosby - Rust
Beau - Malkin - Rakell
I can start my A game by banning you if youd like.Mods have had their B game here lately and even that’s generous
I mean you can look at the other contracts UFA goalies got that year. Korpisalo was the next biggest fish. So yeah, it was one of the worst goalie markets ever.Saying this is never going to make it true. Hes now a negative value asset because he sucks now like he sucked then.

Maybe a team sees something in him and claims him. But i'd also not doubt he plays well for the remainder of the year for that team before falling apart.The Oilers
Oh true. Yea.. I passUs. Nurse is buyout proof.
I wouldn't take nurse for graves straight up at equal salary... But I think nurse is absolutely terribleJarry and Graves to Edmonton for Nurse

A smart GM would stay out of it then. The same excuse of "you had to sign him" were thrown out as soon as it happened. No you didn't. You did not need to further sink this team with such an obviously bad move. Sign whatever crappy vet stopgap would come here to platoon with your other reclamation project in Ned then wait for a trade opportunity with your cap space or pray Blomquist develops quick. It's not that hard to not do stupid things.I mean you can look at the other contracts UFA goalies got that year. Korpisalo was the next biggest fish.

I just double checkedOh true. Yea.. I pass
Then name me someone who was considered better at the time by other GMs. It wasn't Korpisalo. He's been significantly worse than Jarry since anyway.Saying this is never going to make it true.

They really thought he was gonna be their MacAvoy/Makar lmao. He just suddenly acquired elite hockey sense in a contract yearI just double checked
12 million signing bonus this year.
10 next
8 next
3 years of 6 in a row.
What a deal the agent made for Nurse.
It does suck though that the Pens made what was (at the time, given the information they had) probably the right decision with both Matt Murray and Tristan Jarry and ended up getting bitten in the ass for both of those choices.Then name me someone who was considered better at the time by other GMs. It wasn't Korpisalo. He's been significantly worse than Jarry since anyway.
Shit goaltending is rampant throughout the league atm.
Jarry was coming off a .909 season, which is above average in the league. The year before that .919. He was the right age and had value.
I don't care if he was considered the best goalie on the market by idiot GMs. You let them make the mistake, you don't jump on the grenade yourself. Of course, the point is moot as Dubas is probably the dumbest GM in the league so it's very on par for what he does.Then name me someone who was considered better at the time by other GMs. It wasn't Korpisalo.

It's pretty odd when a bunch of players seem to collectively forget how to hockey, what could it be. Johnston vibes, again.Every single defenseman looks like hot garbage so maybe…it’s something else?
I believe he was a 2 time all star, as well. He has played some great hockey for the Pens. But what’s happened over the last 1.5-2 years trumps all of that, unfortunately.Then name me someone who was considered better at the time by other GMs. It wasn't Korpisalo.

Nothing is obvious with projecting goaltending. Even Vasilevskiy and Sorokin had down years. Jarry did have .919 and .921 seasons before. It's not like there was no history of success.A smart GM would stay out of it then. The same excuse of "you had to sign him" were thrown out as soon as it happened. No you didn't.

But I don't even want to think about TJ tonight. Still basking in the glory of Geno Malkin #500 and Sid #1600. This was their night and I'm glad that Blomqvist played well enough for them to feel good about it.
