Salary Cap: Pens Salary and Signing thread: Dr StrangeDubas or How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Karlsson Watch

I hope and expect that Shirey lands on his feet. He seemed like one of the few local guys who actually took some pride in his work.

Frankly I'm surprised he lasted this long with DK.

 

[Ugene Magic]

His name, and past performance in Minnesota, They probably think he just needs time to adjust or something stupid like that.

You do realize they have to waive him to buy him out?

I don't think they need to go back that far to Minnesota to gather he's a serviceable player.

Guessing he requested to be compensated for his work and that's when DK cuts the chord. He pays writers in experience gained.

Pick, prospect? I imagine something super cheap.

In that deal, Petry and Granlund both went to SJ.

So the NYT is a trash newspaper organization? Color me shocked...

While I did misread that my point still stands. I do think Petry to NSH makes some sense.

"Yeah but think of all the EXPOSURE you're getting! All you care about is money!"

Boy that sounds familiar.

This was posted by Rossi on the Athletic about 40 mins ago. As long as EK is willing to waive for Carolina his preferred destination doesnt matter at all

I hope when Karlsson is eventually traded to not Pittsburgh, he says he wouldn't have waived for this city if it was the last team on earth. Just so Rossi looks like an idiot again.

So DK tried to demote him, he said no and then DK fired him.

 

[SomeDude]

The per piece offer is free food in the press box, provided by the team of course.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

lol so @SomeDude basically nailed it.

I realize there isn't exactly buckets of cash raining down on everyone in that biz but DK definitely strikes me as a pretty shit boss.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Thanks GB...


Bummer... Good luck, Dan.

But twitter seems to be dying anyways.

If only the rest of social media died with it.

But..... Erik is allowed to change his mind. They allowed him to talk to both teams. If Erik decides he likes one more than the other he very much has every right to go back to Grier and say make this team happen.

Employment with benefits.

Careful, DK will ask for the manager of HFboards and get you in trouble.

Lol such an absurd story that was.

 

[Empoleon8771]

In regards to Petry, I think the best landing spots for him are Dallas, Nashville, Detroit and Buffalo all make a lot of sense. All of those teams have clear holes on RD or are interested in Pesce (meaning I think they'd be interested in Petry as a consolation prize).

The Penguins would likely have to add and/or retain salary on Petry, but getting a third team to send someone like Marchment, Barrie or Olofsson to San Jose while taking Petry would be an easy way to make the money work in this kind of deal.

Maybe something like this would work:

Penguins get Karlsson at $8.5 million (Sharks retain $3 million)
Sabres get Petry at $5.25 million (Penguins retain $1 million)
Sharks get Olofsson, Granlund, Smith's RFA rights, Pittsburgh's 2024 1st and Pittsburgh's 2025 2nd

"Look just do this one little thing and I'll totally let you work here unpaid! You aren't gonna get a better deal!"

What a sleaze. I didn't even know about that until I Googled what you were referring to. I just knew about his longstanding tradition of treating his staff like shit and flying off the handle at the dumbest stuff.

 

[SomeDude]

Lol such an absurd story that was.

Almost as absurd as him launching a tirade for anyone that points out the decline of downtown Pittsburgh because he was stupid enough to buy an overpriced living space there.

 

[Ugene Magic]

If only the rest of social media died with it.

I was at least able to go on twitter and get what I needed while not having a account (which I will not do) so I don't go to twitter at all. The only way I see or able to go there is already posted retweets.

It will die, give Musk time...

 

[TimmyD]

Don’t worry. Jake - Crosby - Rust gonna get it done this year.

Jake Guentzel isn’t the problem with the line you just posted

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I truly believe a Karlsson to Pittsburgh trade involves 4 teams.

 

[xlm34]

lol so @SomeDude basically nailed it.

It feels like he should spend money on talented writers instead of paying for a retail space downtown that likely bleeds money so he can act all high and mighty.

 

[Empoleon8771]

It would be funny if Petry didn't have San Jose on his NTC all along and he just ends up going to San Jose as part of the deal.

 

[ChaosAgent]

It isn't DK's fault that downtown has become a sh1thole. His reality distortion around that fact is funny/sad though.
