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

[DRAGO 18]

Finding a taker for Petry then signing Bear sounds good to me

 

[Peat]

I don't think either of these guys fills a need for the Penguins but Bear is an interesting name on the market.

Bear with Pettersson on the 2nd pair doesn't seem like too horrible of an idea, at least if Bear is still as good as he once was.

Apparently Bear is out with injury until the end of the year.

Perfect Penguin.

I'm still half-expecting Dubas to bring in Dermott as the new Ruhwedel.

 

[OnMyOwn]

I can see Yamamoto signing with Pens, he's a huge Crosby fan afterall.

Would really like him on the 3rd line.

 

[Darren McCord]

I mean at least it would be different

 

[Randy Butternubs]

You all will get a Mikkola - Petry second pairing and you'll like it!

 

[66-30-33]

Would really like him on the 3rd line.

As long as Granlund is not on it. We don't need too many soft skilled wingers on a line, last I remember Yam was a fast soft skilled winger with no hands. I don't follow him so could be wrong.

A skilled winger with no hands?

 

[66-30-33]

A skilled winger with no hands?

That's what I vaguely remember people calling him in the past.

 

[PensandCaps]

What even is Wheeler's deal? Just seems a little bristly but nothing major. Certainly not half as bad as Evander Kane.

Yah but unlike Kane, Wheeler sucks.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

I can't understand this Petry thing once it gets past the theoretical stage of him not being worth his cap hit. The cost of the transaction just seems too high right now. If you can convince Sully to just adjust his system a bit Petry will look better and can be converted into an actual positive asset at the TDL if we're tanking, or could be useful if we're not.

Petts/Petry was fine. They need to focus on Hanifin or a legit top 4 LHD, a goalie and an entire shut down line, and stop screwing around trying to optimize the cap hit of the 2RD.

Bear isn't close to as good as Petry

 

[Peat]

Well fair. Sounds like one of those Zen mantras to me though.

Although I think this sums up why I'm not big on the idea of going after him. Not much end product, not much grit. Looks good, not much happens.

I was going to suggest Miles Wood but then I searched his name on twitter and saw all the rumours about teams salivating over him and, well, there's that dream gone.

They likely can't afford Hanifin while also keeping Petry, that's the issue.

 

[PensandCaps]

Yuck. He's Basically Conor Sheary. I'd want to get bigger.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Bear isn't close to as good as Petry

He isn't but the money saved there would allow the Penguins to have the money for Hanifin.

But with Bear out until December, that pretty much kills that idea.

 

[Gurglesons]

They likely can't afford Hanifin while also keeping Petry, that's the issue.

Yes they can easily do that.

 

[Peat]

Gonna call Vinnie Hinostroza as a two-way depth add now. Will probably be wrong. But quick, scores, and probably overlooked due to not playing much recently (I think injuries?)

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yes they can easily do that.

Fine, they likely can't afford Hanifin while also keeping Petry and also filling out the other areas of need on the roster.

 

[OnMyOwn]

As long as Granlund is not on it. We don't need too many soft skilled wingers on a line, last I remember Yam was a fast soft skilled winger with no hands. I don't follow him so could be wrong.

Should be cheap and a fast pk option that can chip in.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Buffalo is apparently not qualifying Tyson Jost

 

[Gurglesons]

Fine, they likely can't afford Hanifin while also keeping Petry and also filling out the other areas of need on the roster.

We would have 11 million if we didn’t move any cap out in a Hanifin deal.

 

[Peat]

Tbf you can make Hanifin very affordable for this year if you're willing to pay someone to retain some money.

 

[Gurglesons]

Tbf you can make Hanifin very affordable for this year if you're willing to pay someone to retain some money.

I imagine If we are acquiring Hanifin at minimum one of POJ or Ty Smith is going back which saves us a million dollar cap.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Id watch



So interesting names that have been tossed around the league here.

Wonder if Miller final moves.
Sanheim probably does

Can't see Miller moving by tomorrow. They turned down multiple 1sts because of not being offered a Center. Hextall was willing to take on the whole contract.

Don't think anyone's gonna extend themselves that much now.
