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

[SEALBound]

Utah just lost Durzi and Marino for around 4 months. I think they're a prime candidate to trade for Pettersson. They have an outrageous amount of futures and will have pressure to make the playoffs this season

Their GM just said very recently that they aren't going to make any panic moves.

Before they picked up Sergs, Marino, and Durzi, I suggested Graves for Kerfoot but not sure that makes sense now for either side.

We aren't great trading partners with them right now but I could see something in the future if they are in it at the TDL. I'd love to figure out something with Pettersson and get Barrett Hayton back.

Why would a team looking to be a contender in the next few years move their young 2C for an older LHD when they are stacked with prospects at that position?

Kerfoot for Graves also makes no sense for Utah either.

I’d do something like Erik Karlsson at 50% retained for Utah’s 1st and Valimaki.

Doobler is smiling because he duped another group of suckers into paying him millions of dollars.


And what a team it will be. Perhaps it will be reminiscent of Doobler’s playoff juggernauts he built in Toronto (after inheriting the best young core they ever had, no less)?

Yeah, it’s like people don’t realize how bad Dubas was in Toronto.

If Kyle is smiling, you know he’s about to take one to the chin.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

I know others don’t want to hear it, but does it even make sense to be a decent to slightly above average hockey team anymore?

We don’t have what it takes to win anything meaningful. I would rather suffer through an awful year or two and get some youth in this system to be excited about.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

So the team is already on a 3 game losing streak and their next 3 games are against the Oilers, Canucks and Wild. Yeah, October is about to be an ugly month

I find myself not that upset at the prospects of them being trash after October just to see what this f***ing organization will do.

If we're sitting at 3-8 after October and they still refuse to fire Sullivan (or there aren't even rumblings of it), then I'm out completely. If FSG doesn't care about the on-ice product, why should I?

The only joy would be a top 5 prospect who is NHL ready could completely reshape the next few years especially if we move out a ton of contracts at the TDL.

The issue would be we’d probably still not fire Sullivan.

And he'd completely mishandle that top prospect's development.

He'd be the type who'd get a player like Bedard or Michkov and try and turn them into Jordan Staal.

No wishes come true anymore after @ColePens cashed in his.

Back 2 back though... amirite? Come over with some popcorn and we can chill and watch the championship DVDs together.

I didn't say it would Petts for Hayton 1:1.

Prior to them getting Sergs, Marino, and Durzi making a trade for a LD DID make sense...hence why they made TWO trades for LD.

Utah would never do what you just proposed and quite frankly neither would we. Adding another starting goalie shouldn't be on our to-do list.

Gurgs seems like the kind of guy that would bring a cube of Keystone light and get Cheeto dust on your couch cushions. You sure?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

2 off-days is huge. Can't lose if you don't play.

Definitely would say your house is smaller than expected and the couch isn't fluffy enough and ask if you planted that sap dropping tree out front yourself

The good thing is that even with our older stars the team is looking like the bottom might fall out this year. They're at or near the bottom in nearly every defensive metric.

He'd most definitely spend 45 minutes telling you about a boat and trailer that he doesn't have even after telling him "Yeah, that's awesome" and "wow, that's crazy" at least 10 times.

Utah traded for two defensemen this summer Sergachev who is a LD and Marino who is a RD.

They signed Ian Cole.

Valimaki is a defenseman.

If you are going to act like I’m stupid and never know what I’m talking about, try to actually be right and know what you are talking about.

Utah would never trade Hayton to fill a gap, it would significantly alter their center depth which is relatively weak beyond Cooley after moving off Geekie in the Serg trade.

Back 2 back though... amirite? Come over with some popcorn and we can chill and watch the championship DVDs together.

Yes, these years are a measly footnote in the franchise history.

Still don’t like a career loser like Dubas being the one in charge of these years.
