Salary Cap: Pens Salary Cap: Free Agency, everyone panic!!! Geno talk to the Geno thread only please

[Zirakzigil]

Off season time. New thread time apparently cause @Ugene Magic doesn’t like high page counts.

So how about them Malkin and Letang UFAs? Maybe we should sign one or both.

Geno thread. Keep Geno talk here:

Rumor: - Geno where art thou?

With all the Geno rumors and news, time for its own thread. Keep the Geno talk here please.

They just need to get Letang done already so we don't have to debate the merits of giving Letang a 6 year deal at age 35

 

[Coastal Kev]

I love Krissy to death but... 6 years?

Hilarious

It seems like this front office is mocking their fanbase at this point

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

I just can’t wait until next week at this time and hopefully all of this Letang/Malkin mess is finally done. One way or the other.

If 6 is what it takes, so be it I guess.

We need him. Zero chance to do anything in the playoffs without him. Probably not a great chance even with him but some is better than none..

 

[Empoleon8771]

Good for Fleury, I think he's a good fit in Minnesota.

 

[Pancakes]

I just spent the last 20 minutes typing a lotta words about Maf and now he signs in Minnesota just like that

 

[AuroraBorealis]

maybe they think our prospects, the best ones of which are goalies, are close to NHL ready….

And who would that be?
Who has enough experience to make a smooth transition soon?

We don't even know how Lindberg's injury will affect his career moving forward.

 

[ChaosAgent]

If the Letang deal involved hella cap circumvention, I could live with 6 years. Like 6/$30-$32? 5M AAV? That gives us some space to do some serious damage in FA.

But also it's Rossi.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Is this Rossi guy legit? Strong record?

No. He’s always been a f***ing idiot. And recently said all of Letang Geno and Rust were gonna walk…then Rust signed immediately after.

I don’t pay attention to a thing he writes.

 

[Pens x]

Fleury is not coming here. Give it up.
Did LeBrun miss the CDS signing?

Maybe Lebrun is confused why we signed a goalie that’s been injured in the last two playoffs. In the end, we still need to upgrade our goaltending.

Fleury watch for 2023 when Jarry leaves lol

But 6 years won't be what it takes. 6 years would be massaging the cap number to make it a bit more favorable. I'm willing to do that to an extent, but 6 years for a 35 year old player is beyond that IMO.

Like I said last page, $7.5 million a year for 4 years or $7 million a year for 5 years is what I'd do. Beyond that, I think you're getting a bit too wild.

SOOO you believe Rossi has a Clue huh,
Or are you bitching because that is what you do regardless what the Pens do?

 

[LOGiK]

Nice reference. But this team is already old as balls and riding off into the sunset. What is one more geezer. At least Wheeler is a f***ing gamer. Maybe it's a trade best left for NHL 22 though.

The time of mediocrity is nigh my friends.
Generation X pt 2 arriving at a rapid pace.
This time will be worse. The odds of landing another generational talent.... is low.

 

[K Fleur]

And MAF watch ends early this year.

 

[Empoleon8771]

@Scandale du Jour should we make a NHL draft thread for today and move these discussions there?

 

[dogthateats]

Its back on

 

[Empoleon8771]

Idk I kinda believe Weekes more than I believe Dreger

 

[OnMyOwn]

Weekes wrong again? Color me shocked.

 

[Zbynek]

There are a lot of idiots in Pittsburgh media but Rossi is the biggest doofus of them all.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Idk I kinda believe Weekes more than I believe Dreger

Weekes deleted his tweet.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

@Scandale du Jour should we make a NHL draft thread for today and move these discussions there?

We should definitely make a GDT for the draft.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Rossi tweets need to be banned.
We've already established that he's a worthless liar.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yeah Seravalli shut it down.

Looks like #FleuryWatch is back on
