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

[Big Friggin Dummy]

If Yohe's saying some shit about how the Pens should trade Poulin, I'm just gonna assume he sniffed a fart outta their ass and is getting the news out ahead of time to make it look good for the team.

 

[McGroarty2]

EDM doesn't have a 1st in '25.

But everyone know '27 is where it's at.

 

[K Fleur]

In 2027 I’ll be 36 and finally old enough to play for the Penguins.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Barring Sullivan royally f***ing this kid up like he has with several others...I do hope they use him with Geno.

But if he catches fire, watch him get shifted up to Sid. Like the usual dumb shit we see. Tomasino has that Neal kind of release so he would be great with Geno if he shows up motivated.

If he falls out of the top 6, he's f***ed.

I'd figure it'll be....

Rakell, Crosby, Rust - because Sully gonna Sully.
Bunting, Malkin, Tomasino - see above.
O'Connor, Hayes, Puljujarvi
Nieto, Acciari, Beauvillier

It should be...

Beauvillier, Crosby, Rakell
Bunting, Malkin, Tomasino
O'Connor, Hayes, Rust
Nieto, Acciari, Puljujarvi - Sorry Juice.

Defense, who cares, they don't play Defense anyway.

That isn't pretty. I don't have much hope for this shit.

What would you do if Glass is healthy?

 

[Duffy13]

When healthy I'd like to try this:

Rakell- Crosby- Puljujarvi
Beau- Malkin- Tomasino
Buntin- Glass- Rust
O'connor - Lizotte- Nieto

Will never happen, and I know some of those are not suited for extended top 6, but it's worth a look.

Also I read that people would trade Bloom for Jiricek? I'm not sure I want to give up on a goalie who is trending in the right direction just yet, they take forever to develop. Unless the Russian kid is showing that he is the real deal, than maybe. But I think I'm a year or two away from this decision

Realistically I can see

Beau- Crosby- Rakell
Bunting- Malkin- Rust
Doc- Glass- Tomasino/Hayes
Nieto- Accairi- Lizzotte

Dont't think Sullivan will play the young guys at all when everyone is healthy.

 

[cookthebooks]

you could easily get a 6th round pick in the year 3000 for poulin so why not do it

 

[Empoleon8771]

I know the answer is "Mike Sullivan" but I don't understand why Hayes has to play. At best, he should be their 4C.

My ideal healthy lineup right now would be:

Rakell-Crosby-Rust
Bunting-Malkin-Tomasino
Beauvillier-O'Connor-Puljujarvi
Lizotte-Hayes-Glass

But good luck convincing Mike Sullivan to run with that.
