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

[ChaosAgent]

the gm can very easily not give the coach that particular rope to hang himself with and i would argue thats a huge part of the job

Dubas is definitely coming into the role at a higher level than Hexburke did. For one thing, he is a singular guy vs. 2 potentially diverging opinions.

Like if anyone thought Burke or Hextall outranked Sullivan in the hierarchy they were deluding themselves.

Years 3 and 4 aren’t the issue and yeah, I’d think any deal betw Sharks and Pens would need a third team involved and therefore it’s dead in the water

Why do Years 1 and 2 matter more than Years 3 and 4 to the Sharks? Whether they are paying Karlsson or paying Petry and retaining on Karlsson, it's the same to them for Years 1 and 2 because they are still going to suck. But at least they'd save some money (both real money and cap money) in Years 3 and 4 and take a step towards rebuilding with the return.

They’d like to save more money. Idk why, go talk to their owner …

Oatmeal for me. What I make at home has protein powder, banana, and pumpkin mixed in.

Unless I'm traveling for work. Then it's MTO egg white sandwiches from Sheetz. Plus a banana. Though if I have time in the morning I will get the oatmeal from the restaurant within the Marriott.

Pretty sad state where the GM basically has to "idiot proof" the roster for the coach

welcome to professional sports

No, welcome to the world of "tenure".

Welcome to a coach that has become more stale than 2 week old bread.

That has been a thing with Penguins coaches and GMs for years.

Remember when Shero let Ouellet walk because Therrien was playing him so much?

Every coach has their pets. If you punt one pet he will just be replaced by a knew annoying pet.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

I'm just kinda over it at this point.

Having expectations is the easiest way to invite disappointment.

Welcome to a coach that has become more stale than 2 week old bread.

i think everyone acknowledges the coach situation and this is about whether or not we think the gm will get creative or just fail in the exact same way as the last gm?

According to CapFriendly, Petry is only due $4.5M for the rest of this year ($7.5M total salary and a $3M signing bonus that was already paid out July 1) and he's only due $5M next year. So they'd be getting Petry for 2 years at $9.5M real dollars.

They are still on the hook for $38M in real dollars to Karlsson. If they retained 40% ($15.2M), and added it what they'd owe Petry, it would cost them $24.7M.

Saves them $13.3M real dollars.

They could hold onto him and try again next offseason, but then they'd have paid him $10.5M that he's owed this year and would likely run into the same issue of needing to retain and/or take back contracts next year anyway.



I don't blame them for trying to get a 3rd team involved if they are more concerned about the money than the return, but if they don't find any takers, then they are going to have to shit or get off the pot. Do you want to save $13.3M or wait and see what happens?



FWIW, the savings by year would be:

Year 1 : $1.8M
Year 2 : $1.6M
Year 3 : $5.4M
Year 4 : $4.5M

Blew the 3-0 lead and the. beagle had that crazy stick save in OT. Most teams that’d be a huge momentum shift and they probably end up losing. The 2016 team was just f***ing relentless though.

I'll once again point out that Crosby-Rakell saw more time than Crosby-Rust and that the results are very similar. If that's our biggest gripe about the coach, things probably aren't that bad.

C'mon, there's only 1 breakfast choice time permitting. Real fried potatoes with peppers and onions- the circles that take forever to get deep golden brown and crispy. Handful of eggs over medium with white toast extra butter, at least 4-6 slices. Sides of corn beef hash, sausage and bacon.
Edit- however, normal breakfast is a pot of coffee and 1/2 pack of cigarettes lololol

Bagel.

Good with anything on it except cream cheese.
Fatty, greasy meats tops the list. Followed by real butter, honey and extra cinnamon.

I use Optimum Nutrition Double Chocolate. Don't see why not, I use Fairlife. It's a thick liquid, like melted milkshake.
