I was worried until I saw Yohe reporting it.

Started oneCan we get a LIVE FA thread, please?
Whoever has the best Avacado toast.What’s Kyle’s version of PF Changs?
Honestly my thoughts as well. I remember even when Dubas was hired no insiders knew and it was announced via the Pens website.I was worried until I saw Yohe reporting it.
I can believe that and if we signed guys like Beau and Grez like a week from now, I’d be whatever about it but they seem like plan A, July 1st signings and that’s ridiculous.Need to remember we're not an attractive team for a FA to sign for right now

It is appears to be coming out that Dubas’ plan is for us to be the worst team in the NHL and tank for a high pick lol
Is Draisaitl on the way out? Where'd that name come from? Gimme the gossip.Draisaitl or Marner - who does Vegas end up with?
Maybe both?
Fingers crossed.It is appears to be coming out that Dubas’ plan is for us to be the worst team in the NHL and tank for a high pick lol

Yager won't be signed until Training Camp. There isn't any rush. His contract doesn't slide until later this year because of his age. I've seen you go on and on about this but it's just not a priority right now because of the Draft and Free Agency. They will sit down and talk with him and his agent at the prospect camp and that would be the earliest it gets signed.And the depth signings will ultimately beat out the Poulin's, Ponomarev's, Koivunen's and even Puljujarvi's and Puustinen's of this world. Because, Sullivan.
Not even mentioning Yager anymore. I mean, you have to sign a contract to play in the NHL.
There was a big change behind the scenes in Pittsburgh.
According to several sources, staff were notified Friday that David Beeston, co-head of Fenway Sports Management and a Penguins' alternate governor, is stepping down. Apparently, he’s joining the private equity firm Clearlake Capital. (Clearlake is incredibly influential, it bought a majority stake in Chelsea FC in 2022.)
Beeston, who did not respond to requests for comment, played a major role in Fenway’s Penguins purchase and in recruiting current President of Hockey Operations and GM Kyle Dubas.
It has a certain je ne sais quoi for sure.Baited his idiot billionaire friends into a stupid purchase, a stupid hiring, and then pulled the rip cord. Love that.
Very interesting if this takes the Boston handcuffs off of Dubas.Baited his idiot billionaire friends into a stupid purchase, a stupid hiring, and then pulled the rip cord. Love that.

I mean, they do. They seem to get along very well and are on the same page on everything. The issue is that they're both dipshits and their vision is a farce as the team circles the drain.Dubas and Sullivan have a great working relationship. Look at how it’s going guys!
Maybe they’re having buyer’s remorse and will sell.Wait that’s nuts lmao. Clearlake is not doing well. Overleveraged.
Pay is best there is though, I’d imagine it’s about that. In the right role Beeston would clear what McDavid makes. Could be Pens were his idea and FSG pushed him out however, you never know.
Sounds like someone else will now be the guy Pens management reports to which is interesting.
I think one of the biggest reasons there aren't more offer sheets is that teams have 1 month to match. If the timeline was 1 business day it would be a lot easier to plan your offseason. If you have a potential big contract floating off your books for a month while everyone else is signing guys to firm deals you risk getting left with nothing.
FSG is not normal finance firm but typically you don’t leave at Beeston’s level unless it’s to start your own firm or retire. Golden handcuffs are very real. Typically… it means fund is not doing well and your carried interest is wiped or you were pushed out.Maybe they’re having buyer’s remorse and will sell.
