Salary Cap: Pens Off Season Thread: Pre Free Agency Shenanigans!

[Empoleon8771]

No keeping him is stupid when u could buy him out an use that money for other needs.

They can't buy him out because they didn't put him on waivers by the deadline.

Cap Friendly posted that the deadline is not today, it's actually tomorrow.

 

[Peat]

Do you think they would send Pettersson to Calgary for Hanifin? That would give them a young, long term LD with 1st pairing capability.

Hanifin-Letang
Soucy-Petry
POJ-Rutta
Smith

Something like that? Or if they can jettison Petry too, run something like Soucy-Mayfield for the 2nd pairing.

Was weighing that idea in my head. I think if you really want Hanifin you put him in the deal. Feels very robbing Paul to pay Peter though. Like why are you paying more to get a more expensive guy who had a worse 5v5 season statistically?

Ah good to know, that makes sense. So they have until tomorrow then to put him on waivers.

I kind of fear regression from Petts after a career year. Not fully opposed to deal him while his value has peaked.

Blackhawks Get Corey Perry
The Hawks trying for the fastest rebuld ever?

Is Dwayne even cogent ?

 

[SEALBound]

Chicago has a gluttony of cap space and need to get the floor. They just got Bedard and have zero expectations of competing. This is just fun shit for them. I bet the 7th for Perry was made while laughing and giggling to each other.

Half of the front office probably has a maniacal armchair GM team save on CapFriendly as we speak.

I noticed this too, someone else was holding a phone for Dubas when Dubas was making the pick and handed it back to him after the pick. They showed it on the stream.

I think the critical component though with including Petts is that he gets some trade protection after July 1

So instead of having 3 Dmen (Letang/Petts/Petry) with protection, you have only 2

Yeah I caught that too. He definitely is working the phones it seems

So, where in relation to my butt should my hands be?

Side? Lower back? Knees?

Just not on anyone else's Butt

Don't get so excited, it's probably a rush order from Panda Express

If things had gone a little different yesterday I'd say hang on to your But.

Yeah I'll see myself out.

Dubas strikes me as more of a sub guy then a Chinese food guy. Now if JR were still here I’d agree with you

 

[Gurglesons]

At least he isn't a PF Chang's guy.

 

[Peat]

Your hands should be covering your face while Special K finishes the job of Rutherlessly Hexing this once proud franchise.

Yeah Kyle is definitely more of a sub, not a dom

 

[PensandCaps]

Really sucks that we traded Marino looking at our old ass RD. What a brutal trade, great value at 4.2 aswell.

Now we gotta give up assets and more cap for a Dman like Marino.

 

[SEALBound]

So, where in relation to my butt should my hands be?

Your front butt, bud.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I could see Smith on Sid’s RW and Rakell on Geno’s LW.

With the preference for handedness alignment, I doubt it unless it's a short term shakeup.

LW: Guentzel, Smith, DOC
RW: Rakell, Rust, Granlund
(Assuming no further moves are made)
We have a glaring hole at 3C as usual, unless they go with DOC or Granlund there.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Dubas is just waiting for his next Honorary Doctorate from Carnegie.

 

[PensandCaps]

Rossi said they are in on Hanifin, so maybe that's what's going on?

 

[Peat]

Yeah Kyle is definitely more of a sub, not a dom

There's a really good sandwich shop in London called Dom's Subs

Occasionally they'd complain about the filthy messages they received
