Salary Cap: Pens '24-'25 Salary Thread: The Crosbicles Volume XIX

[Malkinstheman]

The Oilers, Wings and Avs are all desperate for a goalie. Jarry is probably an upgrade for them. I think hes gone this season if they can dump him without having to pay a sweetener

I'm not thrilled with the McG scratching... but with Rust healthy who, realistically, was MS going to scratch? Certainly not a vet on the 4th line. And not the dude that just scored two goals.

Exactly. Which is why Groats should be out of Mike Sullivan's control. The idea of keeping him on the NHL roster should have been "growing pains allowed... extra rope allotted." If it's not then it was the wrong choice to begin with. If the team just cannot bring itself to occasionally bench someone who is a years-done product like Noel Acciari then they shouldn't be taking on player development at all.

Sullivan is Charlie Mcavoy's Father in Law?? Damn Sullivan, you better be talking about how shit the Bruins are at every family get together

I think he's gone by now if they can dump him without taking back a bad deal or adding a sweetener, tbh.

The issue is they're either holding out to get nonexistent value for the guy, or nobody wants to take him.

So, they're healthy scratching McGR? Or did they send him down?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

this team can't afford to piss away a single point

Seems like it took 164 games and two playoff misses for Sullivan to finally understand this.

lol I can imagine McAvoy talking to Kiley after one such get together and being like "your dad knows he hasn't won shit in like ten years, right?"

Who is that as your avatar? I keep thinking it is Legato from Trigun but it clearly isn't.

That's the main character from Persona 3, Makoto Yuki.

Apropos of nothing but I have a buddy I played hockey with that was born in Maine and raised in Boston who, when seeing one of the soda machines that has a touch screen and like 1000 different flavor combos, went wide eyed and said "Holy shit this thing's wicked smaht". I think I can get him on the Pens' coaching staff.

That'd be awesome if we could do so. EDM would be a great candidate.
