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!"

[Big Friggin Dummy]

We don’t have the cap for that.

I mean at the draft. (We don't have the picks for that either lmao)

Can't wait until Dullivan is using this team's top-3 picks on Cam Barker and Zach Bogosian.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

How about a really SAFE floor?

Wouldn't you guys prefer that?

No? Too f***in' bad.

 

[Tom Hanks]

This draft might the best shot to hit a home run in the 2nd round.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Whatever. We shouldn't worry. We have David "Norris Unlocker" Quinn, now.

Safe floor as in probably still an NHLer even not an impact one, or probably gonna be playing for Belfast like three years after he's drafted kinda safe floor?

This is a trick question. Young draftees don't play on this team at all.

Well all they have to do is beat out half a dozen overpaid vets with term on their contracts and trade clauses in a completely fair and honest open competition come training camp/pre-season. Whaddaya mean?

Whatever. We shouldn't worry. We have David "Norris Unlocker" Quinn, now.

“David Quinn brings a wealth of coaching and developmental experience across the highest levels of professional and international hockey. Quinn has a long track record of helping elite defensemen reach their full potential, and we look forward to the impact he can make on our defensive group and our entire program. Coach Quinn’s experience, character, energy and enthusiasm make him a great fit for Coach Sullivan’s coaching staff.”

"Dubas is only bringing these guys in for AHL depth"

Some of you go ahead and CTRL+C this right now for later. Save yourself some time.

It would be a lot cooler if this team just stopped giving a f*** in words and not just actions and said "Yeah he's Mike's boy and from Boston. That's it. That's the reason. Kobra Kyle out."

I could almost respect that.

Whoa. I have my issues with Stammer but that's nuts.

It was reportedly 3mil x 8 years lol.

Kobra Kyle is about as stupid as "Dark Brandon".

Askarov is available but I'm a fan of the Penguins.

That was the point dear brother.

Tampa was offering him 3!?! A team like Detroit or Nashville will easily give him 6 or close to it imo. If Compher and Copp are getting 5+ then Stamkos will as well.

What about us?

I think people are sleeping on how bad Stamkos has been.

He's pretty much late era Phil Kessel at this point.

The NHL thinks it’s the NBA or NFL with how much hype they try to manufacture at the draft.

When only a couple guys will even step into the NHL immediately and the vast majority of first round picks will be somewhere between above average NHLers to journeymen it’s just not worth all this. It mostly just sets fans and the prospects up for disappointment.

I had to google these things and I think my understanding went from "none" to "even less."

I went to the draft in 2013 when the Pens took Jarry in the 2nd. Lame as shit, but at least it was fun to hear how much everybody f***ing reviled Bettman down to his core.

Gold.

You can almost see him trying to do a crane kick in the mirror every morning and yelling "YES SENSEI!"

Now give me a Kindergarten Kyle.

I think we're not giving enough credit to Dubas and his ability to bullshit in interviews and pressers, and basically steal tens of millions from braindead billionaire losers.

Sucks as a GM though.
