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

[Sideline]

Lol what

Great use of assets pens.

Maybe they are worried about an arbitration case?

 

[Epic Neal Time]

Poehling hits UFA.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I have heard some murmurs about Poehling having some sort of serious health issue, I wonder if he's not being qualified because of something that hasn't come out publicly.

 

[Gurglesons]

What arb case? lol.

 

[Darren McCord]

Geekie didn't get qualified.

Neither did Sprong hehe

 

[Turin]

Hallander eh?

That was out a bit ago. Honestly with the flood of RFA's I am cool with moving on from Poehling

 

[Gurglesons]

Definitely going to Toronto.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

We didn't qualify Poehling.

Qualified everyone else.

Someone said before about a significant injury that I can't find any deets on. I would be upset because I was looking forward to him this season

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

When SJ moves Karlsson to Edmonton, I can see PIT/SJ making a deal around Petry/Kahkonen. Obviously SJ has to add.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Look at the replies here, there are multiple people saying something along the lines of "Poehling is not healthy". I don't know what they're referring to, but there is a lot of talk among Penguins fans on twitter that something is wrong with Poehling.

Yeah like Poehling isn't actually anything special. I'd take Geekie over him 100%

 

[eXile3]

Like I said, I don’t expect Dubas to be perfect. He’ll make good and bad moves. At the moment this seems like a bad one.

 

[Darren McCord]

Lol what

Great use of assets pens.

He was hurt a bunch and rumors were it was something he might have issue with going forward. This team doesnt need that

 

[66-30-33]

Poehling to Caps confirmed...our trash they love.

 

[Ryder71]

We didn't qualify Poehling.

Qualified everyone else.

I liked him, hmmmmm.

 

[Darren McCord]

Not really at least 15 other RFA's just hit the block I would take over him,

 

[Gurglesons]

Even if Poehling was hurt doesn't that give you an even easier time getting him on a cheap contract.

Just seems like a waste of an asset for a team with so few and cap space.

 

[Andy99]

Seravelli doubling down on Kappo and saying he's heard rumblings that we are going to clean house in net.



I think you need to get Wood before you can get Domi

Maybe ask your wife

Good if true…we need to clean house in net

Poehling is only 24 years old was playing really well as the games went on last season and was definitely standing out in a good way.

I wouldn't say he isn't anything special. If anything he's a guy that we really could have used to step up in the bottom 6 specifically L3. Hes got great pedigree and has made some really big plays when it counts on team USA. I know that was a while ago but I felt like he was really pulling it together.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Poehling had 14 points in 53 games, which is almost identical production to Julien Gauthier who wasn't qualified by the Senators.

Even if he's healthy, I don't think he's much of a loss. You can get his performance out of a league minimum UFA without having to worry about arbitration.

Just go sign Michael McLeod to replace Poehling, who was also not qualified today by New Jersey and would be an improvement on Poehling.

 

[Peat]

Bad summer to be an RFA.

 

[66-30-33]

I'm liking this new GM of ours so far.

You can just go pick up someone else's asset though. There's tons of them.

Yeah Poehling's literally not even in the top-5 for RFAs not qualified so far and may not even be in the top-10 by the time the total list is out.

Geekie perhaps.
