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!"

[Gurglesons]

Because:
1. We don't need a $8mil+ anchor contract at this moment.
2. We don't need a minimal effort player on the roster, especially at 3C.
3. We do need a solid, physical wing to help reshape the bottom 6.
4. We don't need to do more Karlsson-esque trades to retool.

Go ask Kings fans who they would rather trade at the moment...

1. We currently have a 4.5 mil dollar anchor contract and a 5.5 mil dollar anchor contract in Graves and Jarry at teh moment.
2. Phil Kessel was a minimal effort player.
3. PLD is physical.
4. The trade proposed is one of Graves or Jarry for PLD. No picks involved.

I don't care what Kings fans think. PLD has historically been a solid player. I'd much rather take a risk on him at 26 than Jarry or Graves bouncing back.

Which is why, ya know, he was run out of Columbus AND Winnipeg during which times both teams were competing for Cups. Kessel was sent out of Toronto when they bottomed out.

PLD has been a no-show for LA this playoffs as well.

lol what?

He requested a trade out of Columbus and he told Winnipeg he wouldn't sign there.

ZONKS

"I just KNOW he'll play hard and try on his fourth NHL team. Those three before that were just one-offs. Dude is fo real!"

Uh hu.

 

[66-30-33]

Pass on PLD but i'd go after Stephenson and Marchessault if we can get them while subtracting Rakell and Smith.

ZONKS

But Sullivan says no or he's going to NJD.

I know you don't watch other teams so you have no comprehension of what you are talking about, so I'll just let you roll with sounding dumb.

Dubois played fine with Columbus until he wanted out. He played find with Winnipeg.

If you can get him for Ryan Graves or Tristan Jarry you jump at that deal.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

It’s sad for those people but clearing out the overpaid, fake inflated title execs out of Operations doesn’t exactly scream anything bad lmao

It has been said the Pens need to make R2 to generate any material profit though.

Marchessault is super old.

Stephenson has been shown to be a big time product of Mark Stone.

 

[SEALBound]

The Penguins Chief Revenue Office, Senior Vice President of Partnership Marketing and Operations and Senior Vice President of Partnerships were among the high-ranking employees let go Wednesday.

Not that I don't feel for them but this is nearly irrelevant to the on-ice operations.

I mean we pretty much just swap ages of guys we are losing to guys we are adding.

Guentzel+1st for Sam Bennett.

Take a seat bud.

 

[HandshakeLine]

President of a partnerships is the HOA for a swingers’ club.

Marsh will be 34 this year.

Guentzel+1st for Sam Bennett.

Take a seat bud.

Seems to be doing fine in Florida since his trade.

Point still stands. PLD would be about as good as you can get if you are trying to get out of Graves or Jarry's deal.

 

[HandshakeLine]

We really could have used Sam Bennett’s skills when he was available.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

doing that PLD trade to buy him out and clear cap would be hilarious

Hey man. I pounded the table for him on these boards. Did my part. Had my guy.

Smith/Marshy are 4 months apart.
Stepenson just hit 30 while Rakell is 31 in 4 days.

I mean we don't get younger but we also don't get older.

Fair enough. I'd rather target PLD at 26 over two 30 year olds. Especially since we'd be getting out of one of Graves or Jarry.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I mean, absolutely f*** Graves and Jarry. But also f*** PLD. Dude's overrated as all shit and his contract is f***ing awful.

 

[Gurglesons]

I mean, absolutely f*** Graves and Jarry. But also f*** PLD. Dude's overrated as all shit and his contract is f***ing awful.

His contract is pretty much the going rate for a 60+ point player with some RFA / UFA years at his age these days.

His contract probably looks fine by the time Malkin retires.

Trading either or both for PLD is the equivalent of

"Oh man, I sat in gum. Dang it. What should I do?"
"Shit your pants, bro! That'll help!"

 

[66-30-33]

I don't know who we should add because as long as we don't have a new coach, we have 0% chance at anything.

Let it be fine on whatever team he happens to be on every like 9 months of however long it takes him to be traded/ask to be traded then.

I think Jarry can be dealt. People are always looking for goalies. I think the team might just be stuck with Graves.

PLD had one bad year. Ryan Graves has been a 3rd pairing D his entire career. Jarry has sucked outside of two seasons and one was his rookie year.

 

[Pens1566]

I'm not interested in taking on PLD's contract. If we were going to entertain that type of move, there are better candidates than PLD.
