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!"

[DesertedPenguin]

Have a feeling more is coming.

 

[Darren McCord]

Friedman just said that good chance Jake is going to TB if he hits the market. TB cleared cap with him in mind

I hate this so much no Jake!

 

[Gurglesons]

It's also hilarious that St. Louis traded a 6th for Hayes last year, kept him for one year where they missed the playoffs and then traded him away while attaching a 2nd.

Yeah, makes no sense by the Blues.

 

[SEALBound]

Dammit, Ducks snag Masse and Chicago takes Mustard...

 

[WickedWrister]

Mustard off the board

 

[MayorofWBS]

Oof - Good for four eyes Kindergarten. What in the world is the SLB thinking there! That 2nd is their own and should be a pretty decent pick.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Logan Thompson to Washington, really nice move by Washington. I'm a huge fan of him.

Dude would be insane on the left side with Kucherov.

 

[Andy99]

Pretty sweet if our first deal is one where we manage to get older and slower

Good job Kindergarten!

All part of our strategy to get a top 5 pick next draft

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Even the guys who were high on Mustard bascially admitted he’s brain dead hockey IQ wise

 

[Malkinstheman]

Man JR better pull through. Really don't wanna see Guentzel on the Lightning

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

lol great deal

can't wait to see ppl bitch about how much we gave up for a free 2nd

Yeah that’s how bad he is.

Yeah, it's because he IS that bad.

And because we already know how Sullivan will use him. He won't be stapled to the 4th line where he should be. He'll get opportunities over the likes of Puustinen, Poulin, Ponomarev, etc.

 

[Turin]

Washington continues its massive retool.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Allvin just locked up JR in his basement. He’d offer him 11mil or something crazy.

 

[deakka]

We have to unload some cash now, right ?
If we could get lika a 3rd for Smith it's basically Smith for Hayes a 2nd and a 3rd. And we would save some cash. Ofc center vs wing tho

 

[SEALBound]

Logan Thompson to Washington, really nice move by Washington. I'm a huge fan of him.

Yeah having Lindgren and Thompson platooning for less that $2mil is a decent move. Especially when it's clear they are looking to contend.

 

[vodeni]

Yeah, it's because he IS that bad.

And because we already know how Sullivan will use him. He won't be stapled to the 4th line where he should be. He'll get opportunities over the likes of Puustinen, Poulin, Ponomarev, etc.

exactly...I don't care how much we get in this trade, the problem is you got another vet that Sully will find ways to call warrior, PK specialist whatever shit won't move the needle and we will wait until next season to see if any of younger players can play

 

[SEALBound]

@Scandale du Jour can this be a live thread?

Going to be a weird year for them. Seem boom or bust

 

[Turin]

News flash: this is how you compile assets if you can’t trade guys like Malkin and Letang. They might still trade a guy like Eller which means nobody is blocking anybody.

Going to be a weird year for them. Seem boom or bust

Can’t wait til they bust.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Trading Eller for a 3rd or 4th today combined with that Hayes move would be a great act of asset management by Dubas.

I'd prefer he move Acciari obviously, but I doubt Acciari is moveable.

 

[Ugene Magic]

A 2nd 2025, but 3.5 for 2 more years...

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I can try

@Scandale du Jour can this be a live thread?

 

[Tom Hanks]

I am Europe

 

[Malkinstheman]

Would have been nice to trade for Thompson for just 2 thirds. That Jarry signing was so f***ing stupid
