Confirmed with Link: Jeff Carter signs two-year extension with Penguins

[Ugene Magic]

Your 3c is worth throwing 4.0 to 6.0 at considering how important that position is and I think Carter's age, cap hit and term fits while still getting those higher cap number production out of him.

I remember people wanting to throw a 3.5 cap at Teddy and I thought that was way too heavy, even the 2.2 is about .400 heavy. But he was warming up to that 2.2 for me, and of course "no fault of his own" he's out long-term. Was looking forward to a full season output for him. Er...

 

[HandshakeLine]

Now you need to add Giroux. I'd be all in on the Pens then as a Flyers fan.

Couldn't you just root for someone else? Like the Khmer Rouge?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Hextall taking care of his boy first, hey.

 

[Andy99]

Good deal if you think he’s not going to deteriorate…hopefully this inspires Geno and Letang to take less…

 

[ronduguayshair]

So why isn’t Malkin signed yet? Is this Favorite Player leaving insurance?

Zahorna less likely to play.

Is this a good thing?

 

[Gurglesons]

He's literally has a 60 point pace with the Penguins.

Neat. So were McCann and Rodrigues.

I'm sorry but 6M in a flat cap world for a 3C is zany. Even 3-4 is getting to the point of "alright that's fine there, thanks."

It's a third line center, man.

 

[Andy99]

Malkin, Letang, and Rust are set to be UFAs. Why are we handing out cap space before they are signed?

because Rust won’t be signed…

Likely negotiating term with Malkin. Team may be concerned with injury history, only suggesting two years. Malkin might be pushing 3 or 4. It'll get done. But, yes, having Carter secured does assure you have a capable second-line center.

I actually think this opens the door more for Zohorna. The Penguins will have to say goodbye to some players (ZAR, maybe Heinen and Rodrigues) and a fourth line of something like Bjorkqvist-O'Connor-Zohorna is entirely reasonable for next year.

Considering Geno's coming back from a serious injury it might be prudent to wait a month or two before we consider re-signing him.

 

[Victor Z]

Or they could resign Rodrigues to be a winger and C when Malkin goes down which he does every single year for weeks on end. You’re reading too much into it because nobody knows what Erod will be worth by seasons end.

The Pens very much need to let someone else overpay for ERod's 45-day (or whatever it was) anomalous hot streak. By the time the important players are signed, there's not going to be much left over for him or Dime-A-Dozen Danton Heinen anyway.

 

[ronduguayshair]

I’d let Malkin walk and invest in youth and structure.


Everyone saw how good we were before he came back.

unnecessary risk

Time for a walk. In the snow. At night.

Yeah, well, you're just a head of hair and heads of hair don't have souls. The opinions of the soulless don't count on HFB.

 

[Gurglesons]

I wonder how quickly everyone turns on this contract next year when Carter goes LA coast mode.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Neat. So were McCann and Rodrigues.

And McCann is making $3 million right now and ERod will likely be making more than $3 million on his next deal.

 

[Peat]

Neat. So were McCann and Rodrigues.

And McCann will shortly make more, with ERod a very difficult to predict outlier but also likely to make more. Kapanen's 50 point pace should secure him a 4m contract too.

For what Carter is producing, this a cheap deal. Anyone on cheaper got the deal before they started producing and will correct it at the next opportunity.

 

[TKalltheTime]

8m x 4 years for G & Letang
5 x 4 for Rust
4.2 x 5 for KK

 

[DesertedPenguin]

I wonder how quickly everyone turns on this contract next year when Carter goes LA coast mode.

What evidence is there from his time as a Penguin that this is even remotely a risk?

 

[TKalltheTime]

People not wanting to sign Rust but are OK handing out a big pay day to f***in EROD… JFC this place.

 

[Gurglesons]

What evidence is there from his time as a Penguin that this is even remotely a risk?

The fact he is getting significantly outscored on the ice this year?

 

[wgknestrick]

 

[Pens x]

Carters extra cap is just ZAR not being resigned. Its not affecting the other big guys.

Haha you know damn well ZAR will be back next season.

 

[wgknestrick]

The fact he is getting significantly outscored on the ice this year?

I hate this deal in both value and term.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I hate this deal in both value and term.

The link you literally posted says he's an above average player
