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

[Gurglesons]

Agree but also who cares.

Hopefully would lower the price.

I doubt it. If Buffalo is moving Cozens they are going to want blue chip pieces back. I would think you'd see something like MacTavish out of Anaheim for Cozens or some type of similar play.

I agree

 

[Turin]

Cozens kinda blows and that contract is hideous.

Clearly has Buffalo fatigue. Scored almost a ppg as a young player.

 

[Gurglesons]

When?

He had one good year when Buffalo shot like 11% as a team.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

Agreed. Olympics when NHL players can play is all I care about.

I couldn't tell you 2018 and 2022 what happened.

I respect your take and it's not wrong to have that opinion.
For me I like watching good hockey and if we get a bunch of really good players with a country specific spin, all the better. It's like Olympics-lite for me

 

[pistolpete11]

When they traded Jake and refused to fire a coach that continues to lose that sends a message to the fans. Which is we are not trying to win on any given night. Yeah, the fans that pay for tickets aren’t going to appreciate that.

The only way you can blame the core is if they’re the ones keeping Sully here but ultimately we don’t know that.

Yep, it creates a "They clearly don't care, so why should I?" type of situation.

We'll see how good it is. It's a one off tournament with no tradition, history, or prestige crammed in middle of an already brutally long NHL season with only 2 days of practice that excludes some of the best hockey countries. I could very easily see this being a glorified exhibition where the main goal is to not get hurt so that you don't hurt your NHL team.

 

[chethejet]

Cozens is not the same player post injury. Pens need to continue the retool with picks and real prospects.

 

[Andy99]

We should take a look at Wahlstrom….

 

[Ulf5]

Might want to call up Trotz and take him to the cleaners for a 3rd time to get another young guy.

Wake up Sleep...

 

[Randy Butternubs]

We should take a look at Wahlstrom….

He's from Massachusetts and went to Boston College sooooooooooooooo........

 

[Turin]

When?

He had one good year when Buffalo shot like 11% as a team.

Bad players don’t fluke their way to a ppg season as a 21 year old.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I'm going to seriously LMFAO if Parssinen becomes a Pen. I mean, in a vacuum I like the player just fine. But taking on another reclamation project from a team that's a total cluster f***?

I don't think that's going to happen as I think there'll be too many proud, competitive guys who'll want to go full bore wearing their country's jersey and once a few start the rest will join in.

It could be a mess due to a lack of training. But then, that might be more entertaining than well-drilled hockey.

 

[SEALBound]

Doubt we pick up Wahlstrom. If we did have Beauvillier or Puljujarvi or even DOC, maybe.

So it's a maybe.

 

[Gurglesons]

Bad players don’t fluke their way to a ppg season as a 21 year old.

Cozens has never had a ppg season.

 

[Turin]

Cozens has never had a ppg season.

Sorry yea I thought he played 70 games two seasons ago.

Still, 31-37 as a 21 year old is no joke.

 

[SEALBound]

I think Cozens will develop into your standard, league average 2C. Not your franchise, generational 1C but what most teams have as a 2C.

 

[SEALBound]

Also, with how bad Montreal's goaltending is, I wonder if we could sell them Jarry on the cheap now that he's showing not to be a complete tool.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Bad players don’t fluke their way to a ppg season as a 21 year old.

True. Cheechoo was 24.

 

[Turin]

True. Cheechoo was 24.

Cheechoo was a good player who got injured.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Cozens makes 7 million? Holy crap
