Salary Cap: Pens 2024 Summer Thread: "Thus, knocking us out of these superior numbers when we emerge! Mr. President, we must not allow a non-playoff bound gap!"

[AuroraBorealis]

Yes, people need to get that Dubas is posturing…he wants to trade some vets but is not getting the prospect or draft pick offers…probably just to trade a bad contract for a worse one, or have to give up a pick to move Jarry’s contract for example…so he’s between a rock and a hard place…has to wait it out and try again

Not sure I buy that on the Jarry front. Not this time.
He's already looked up their ranking among cap hits for tandems across the league. Full justification for keeping him ready to go.
Plus I think there's a personal attachment angle to this. The man flew to Edmonton last year to meet with him and his wife, to talk about the future. Then one year into the deal he trades him?
Nah. I'll believe it when I see it. Jarry wasn't even bad last year anyway. He was average to slightly above average.

 

[Gurglesons]

I have genuinely no clue why Buffalo made that deal. Who the hell is Malenstyn?

Solid 4th liner. Could be a Dakota Joshua type.

He said the same thing last year though. He flew to see Petry and was talking him up and then dumped his ass

The Capitals continuing to pull ahead of the Penguins at their own game and at the same stage in their arc would be added insult to injury.

It's really weird but something tells me part of it has to do with actually changing stuff instead of just shrugging your way through seasons at a time while saying "gotta evaluate!" and "well we can't do THAT!"

They have been ahead of us since 2018.

We doubled down on their method to beat them…. After beating them two years in a row with our method?

 

[SEALBound]

f***, Lucas Pettersson to the Ducks. Wanted him.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Keeping a goaltender that the team doesn't seem to like playing in front of and who got beat out of playing the whole-ass only-good-part-of-the-season by a journeyman is certainly a choice befitting of the current state of this team, yes.

 

[SEALBound]

Big trade coming for Utah apparently.

I don’t he think he wants him…but he wants the apparent cost of moving him even less lol

 

[SomeDude]

This is the moment in time where I threw my hands up and said "I shoulda listened to @SomeDude"

From your keyboard to my wife’s ears.

 

[SEALBound]

Howe, Mustard, and Ritchie on the board still.

I didn't hear of any personal meeting between Petry and Kyle.
But yeah it's true he talked about Petry's future with the Pens and then dumped him. Same with Granlund.

So sorry... that's what happens when you sign a terrible contract. Which even most of us morons knew at the time.

"Well I bought this debilitating, expensive pair of shoes that is actively deterring my ability to run. But I don't want to drive ALL the way to the store to return them. Guess I gotta just keep wearing them and lie to everyone about how awesome they are."

 

[SEALBound]

Sergy to Utah! HOLY MOLY!

Yeah I mean it’s totally on him…no denying…most of us were screaming at him last offseason lol
