Salary Cap: Pens Salary Cap Thread: If we score 6 we win, its science!

Just get him away from Staal as much as possible lol

You can be intimidated by that big dumb handless ox if you want. I ain't scurred.

Mark Madden's Hot Take: Expect Tristan Jarry to get extension, hefty raise from Penguins

The Penguins retained their key free agents this past offseason, most notably Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang. But GM Ron Hextall faces another challenge this coming summer when goaltender Tristan Jarry gets to free agency. Jarry, 27, is in the last season of a three-year contract with a cap hit

Geno is fine? And people say (pre-)Christmas miracles are just a Hollywood thing.

 

[Gurglesons]

Geno already practicing this morning. Who had him out 1-3 weeks lol?

Same guy that thinks we have a bad record against every team

 

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

Got his ass.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

lolllllllll ahhhhhh Geno. Never change, bud.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Let's be grateful it wasn't a Petry or Rak bomb.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Raks doesn't really strike me as having a super high velocity shot. Maybe it's just deceiving.

Like Malkin went on to say... I'm glad it wasn't Letang or Jake haha

Jake can shoot at this velocity or higher? Since when?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I mean I dunno? I think we've both making assumptions?

 

[Gurglesons]

I actually hacked @AuroraBorealis and that’s why he is arguing semantics

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I guess I'd say that Malkin would probably know better than both of us.

Then again he probably doesn't even know Rak's name, yet.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Rakell has one of our hardest wrist shots. If anything I'd argue the accuracy is not always the greatest. It was on this one though.


As for slapshots, he's probably in the top 3 on the team imo. Petry and Malkin the other 2 guys. Not sure which order but those are the 3. Zucker 4th perhaps. Carter rarely slaps it so it's hard to assess.

That's why I've wanted Rak on the left side PP1 since we acquired him. Watched those goal compilations from Anaheim. He can wire it from range and he's not afraid to use it.
The fact that he can dish it out so well was a lovely surprise.

This is probably just the 2 other guys that come to Malkin's head when thinking of the PP. That's it.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I'm just surprised, knowing Malkin, that he didn't say he was thankful he wasn't hit by one of HIS shots.

Disrespect for my boy will not be tolerated

We played them well in the 1st one. It would probably be a long series at least.
Nice the other team plays us tired. Enjoying the uno reverse card.
Raanta sucks this year. Hopefully we get him.

Raanta is playing tonight of course and Carolina is insulating the shots he’s seeing, and of course they’re winning…and of course they’re saving their best goalie for us….Jarry better be on tomorow and the team and him better show up in the first period, unlike the last few games

Caps are winning too…gonna be a bottleneck at top of Metro…it’s honestly looking like both WCs are coming from our division lol

 

[The Old Master]

Friedman or Tokarski + 2nd for Anderson @ 50% keeps us cap compliant.

Run a 13F, 7D, and 3G roster.

This isn't rocket appliances.

yeah, i just think your better off spending money where you are more likly to need it.

I'm just surprised, knowing Malkin, that he didn't say he was thankful he wasn't hit by one of HIS shots.

you know geno is a humble man

12 point gap with the Devils on Nov. 29th. It could potentially be two by tomorrow night.
I ain't projecting the April standings in December

Would be fun to see Ottawa or Buffalo make a push here. 2 point gap between 4th and 8th in the Atlantic.

Devils are falling off but everyone now is real close, except the Flyers and CBJ…division up for grabs…OTT and BUF are making a push but so are the Caps and Rags and Isles

 

[Turin]

I have no idea how it works but I'm really enticed by Chychrun. Guy is like almost the same age as Joseph, both of them on the left side long term would be awesome. Then if Pickering develops well you could have him in the league before both guys are 30. Plus there's Smith. I just don't see how it works logistically since I don't see them trading Dumo and don't think they'll dump Petersson since he's been steady. I guess I just made a case for why they should hunt for a forward instead haha.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

We have 9 goals from the blue line. (29th)
Isles have 23 (1st). Dobson has 10 of em.

Everyone talking about Sorokin keeping them in the race and rightly so, but this has been a big factor too.

Really feels like Pettersson and Dumo on the same team is a bit much at this point. One can only bake so many muffins.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Got his ass.

Geno: The star we need, not the star we deserve.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Win tomorrow in regulation = 2nd place + 2 points back of Jersey.
The cream is rising to the top.

 

[Peat]

NYI also have 6 dmen in the top 100 for 5v5 shots. Their dmen are shooting a lot and their forwards aren't. Which, unless they've somehow found a way to keep dmen who usually shoot at somewhere between 2 and 5% at 9% all season long, should bite them sooner or later.
