Salary Cap: #KesselWatch2015: Now with 100% less Saad

[KIRK]

1) it does? The Toronto Media at work!


2) We haven't really thought about what we'd move for him. Didn't know he was available. Is Pitt interested?

To answer #2, sort of, but not really

 

[Big McLargehuge]

When can UFAs sign, midnight or noon?

Noon eastern.

 

[penguins2946*]

Leafs fan here.

It looks less and less likely that we're gonna move Phil. But hypothetically, what would you offer for him? Just curious.

Bout tree fiddy

Give it to me straight IC. In your opinion, what percentage would you give it that we still acquire Kessel? And what was your percentage at the beginning of today? I'm assuming it's between now and noon tomorrow or bust for Kessel. We can't afford to let free agents fly off the board whilst doing nothing. (though I'm not really all that interested in any of them)

Noon, but who needs UFAs when you can have this

I refuse to do percentages, because it's impossible and people take them way too seriously, and the last percentage i posted became a pinup girl.

I will just say: Nothing has changed, as far as I know. The Penguins will not let trade talks get in the way of FA>

PF Changs, the only thing kessel.wont eat.

 

[Pete Gas]

Classless move by Chicago by not sending Saad to his hometown

I'm 101% sure you're exaggerating things.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Do we all have our Kessel Shrines set up?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

O Kessel, Kessel! Wherefore art thou Kessel? Deny thy GM and refuse thy team. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my entertainment. And I'll no longer be a Pens fan.

May the Kessel clause join you tonight

 

[Riptide]

Just sign Semin and be done with it. Ideally sign Frolik if it's reasonable. Dump Kunitz and Sutter for young guys/futures and move on.

Perron - Crosby - Hornqvist
Frolik - Malkin - Semin

 

[kbuck8851]

Cody Franson expected to sign with Toronto tomorrow? Looking for 6x6?

[Allie Kitsune]

The Kessel GIFs at the end of the prior thread were priceless. Especially the one with the yawning gape and the cheeseburgers floating into his yap.

This entire forum needs counselling... and that's why I love you.

Also don't hate Bowman and the Hawks too much; I think Sweeney got to him last night or something. Contaminated him. It's the only explanation. Why they didn't just take a salary dump trade for Sharp and say "we're going to pay this kid around 6M per and be happy with it" I have no idea. You don't get rid of 22 year old players of that quality. I mean **** it's not like he's pulling a Ryan O'Reilly or something.
eep them strong down the middle when Sharp goes.

The same reason the Hawks dump Versteeg every offseason, then trade for him every deadline.

Small difference between Saad and Versteeg of a few years ago, IMO.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

In keeping with the Dusty Rhodes theme, the Pens need to get Phil Kessel to the pay windah, daddeh.

Lemme tell yah sumtin babeh. Dat Philly Kessel. He got himself a big belly welley but da man can play if you wheel.

If we can't get Kessel, we should get Oshie or leverage Edmonton wanting Sutter and add to get a top 6 winger. Maybe we package enough to get Eberle

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Is there anyone home with you?

That top 6 isn't too bad, it could be worse.

You win the day my friend. You win the day.

 

[Human]

no to Semin... regardless if he takes a one year deal... no.
