Confirmed with Link: Malkin re-signs to a 4 year, $6.1 million AAV deal (Eklund called it, start singing his praises)

Zucker looked good when he played. Call me crazy but I don’t want him gone, I’m riding the experiment till the end. f*** it.

you can tell if you pay close attention to national tweets and then their tweets. They are always crafting tweets that make it seem like they're relevant and adding something

Honestly going back to the early 2000s I feel much of the Pittsburgh media never really had their hands around hockey. Its just something to talk about when the Steelers are done.

It may not have been that way but its just the way I feel

moving him for nothing and signing a healthier player > not moving him and getting something out of him and letting his contract expire >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> paying someone to take him off our hands

Eklund called it…we have to give credit where credit is due…lol

It does deserve to live in this thread. Possibly the first time an e4 turned true.

I will not immediately scoff at e4 rumors

OK, I probably still will.

I want Zucker gone, but letting him plod through the final year of his contract is better than paying someone to take him, or buying him out like some want to do.

 

[Flying Dego]

I took a couch nap before bed and woke up to this...welcome back Geno you beautiful SOB!

Especially since we would need to pay people to take his contract without taking salary back.

As L3 LW, he could be valuable. Cap hit is not ideal, but meh.

I somehow agree with both of these statements

 

[Zen Arcade]

Not what. Who. His number is after the first part of your steel/water username.

Can't believe Sleepy brought in Donald Brashear to threaten Geno.

Sickening.

 

[IcedCapp]

i'm basically agreeing with him. When he was able to play, he's close to worth the contract, IMO. But he's just not healthy enough, so I'd much rather have even a slightly worse, but healthier, player

As a Wings fan let me tell you, all this does is delay the inevitable rebuild.

VT & CG letters to keep an eye on.

 

[Coastal Kev]

People discount time at roughly 15% annually. What happens in 2028 is 38% as important as what happens now.

Sorry Kev.

Sorry........just a little frustrated waiting for 4 offseasons for this team to admit their situation....there would be more dignity in it.

 

[CallArnoldSlick]

For real though let’s take a minute to appreciate how terrible Yohe and Rossi were during this

Unless we have something sweet to move him I am pretty much in the same boat. You hate to pay the 5 for what he has done so far but unless you are getting better by somehow moving him you gotta eat it and hope he can stay healthy and show some of the flashes he has.

Health is his biggest obstacle right now and you got to feel for him a little, you know he wants to be out there and I do like the way he carries himself and around the team

 

[Scandale du Jour]

This is truly special. Cherish it my friends.

I'll give that tator tot credit if Phil signs tomorrow.

Oh no!

Anyway.

thank you

 

[Empoleon8771]

I just hope Zucker actually stays healthy because I feel like a Zucker-Rakell winger duo for Malkin is one of the better winger duos he's had in a long time.

Which you can simultaneously argue is pathetic as it is encouraging.

 

[HuskerTornado]

I do think it’s pretty wishful to think they can move Petts or Zucker w/o cap coming back. Both is a bit absurd.

I'd see who has an abundance of solid bottom 6ers. I think something can be done.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Let's f***ing go, Pens!

that’s the point homie

Wish they'd put Rust with Geno and RR with Sid

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

that’s the point homie

He's still looking around for Crosby in the handshake line
