Salary Cap: Garbage Day collection comes early!

[Gurglesons]

I’m not sure I understand this comparison. The Pens got a 2nd, Bunting, and multiple prospects.

So we took a cap dump from Carolina and still only got a 2nd. Yikes!

No QO for Alex Mogilny Nylander from CBJ.

Nylander is genuinely shocking to me considering how well he did. His QO is $813k...

 

[Rudy Russo]

Tampa getting Jake at 7x7.5 is hilarious if that's what he gets.

How does Carolina not give him that deal?

They might be afraid of arbitration.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Maybe he thought Rod was overrated, too.

That's Ellen's opinion, too.

He probably decided he didn't want to sign with Carolina.

Yeah this one is weird to me, too. 11 goals and 15 points in 23 games. Pretty respectable especially for the pricetag.

Watch the Penguins scoop him then act shocked when he doesn't do anything here all over again.

They might be afraid of arbitration.

Whoops. Yeah... this is almost certainly it. Good call.

 

[Ryder71]

Jake-X-Kucherov is going to be a good line.

The muppet will fall off precipitously in three years just watch. lol

Think I read they're more afraid of arbitration. Which still isn't all that much I believe.

With him nothing makes sense. He just incoherently rambles. lol

Yeah that’s not what happened, but you can choose to see it that way.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Friedman was saying during the draft that 8x8 had been on the table for a while from Carolina. Jake's intention for a while had been to test UFA though

Yeah, Bunting, Koivunen and Pono are cap dumps, you've lost it, get help!!!!

There are some people on this board who have chosen to be unhappy over the last x amount of years, and it really makes it hard to read and reduces my desire to post here. Criticism is fine, but let’s just be a bit more honest about what’s actually going on instead of talking to an emotion or preconceived agenda. Then we can have an intelligent conversation.

 

[Ryder71]

How does Carolina not give him that deal?

It's quite possible he didn't want to play there. It's not money or term, they're comparable, it's where he wanted to go.

Brindamour is a very demanding coach. He wears the hell out of those teams. A few months is one thing, 7-8 years, quite another. NO, not when you have good options elsewhere.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Half of these threads are just people responding to Pixies' consistent and nonstop bitching

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Between Tampa and South Beach, I'd choose South Beach, but Tampa is nice, too.

I'm also sans family, so I would choose the hot Cuban women.

The irony of quoting Ryder to make this point…

Agreed, but some ppl have their agendas. They take things entirely out of context because is doesn't fit with their ridiculous and baseless narrative.

The Jake trade looking back was fantastic. Anyone who disagrees is either a Jake fanboi or a person who can't accept the inevitable rebuild.

Honestly just put the 3-5 biggest offenders (we all know who they are) on ignore and your browsing experience will be much improved.

 

[Gurglesons]

CBus isn’t qualifying Nylander because they have too many forwards if they want to add.

Give me the snow and the pasty white chicks, but I know I’m in the minority lol

I wonder what team I would choose if given free choice of all NHL teams and didn't have strong support for Pittsburgh.

Maybe San Jose or something.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I get people being miffed at pixies etc. but I mean... plugging your ears and saying "everyone be happy" while the team is in the middle of going on ten years of ineffectual management and coaching is also a little unrealistic. The end was never going to be pretty, though.

 

[Ryder71]

At least I deal in reality, you on the other hand one never knows.

I get it, I just hate putting people on ignore. Sometimes someone’s just having a bad day, or 4 years later they’ve grown a bit as a person. Then I might be missing a good point from someone with a different but legitimate perspective!
