Salary Cap: Pens Salary thread: It has been 0 days since our last injury

[Jacob]

Remember when they sent someone down to Wheeling because it was just a paper transaction for cap reasons? Who was that?

Eric Tangradi but it wasn't for cap reasons.

Penguins Notebook: Tangradi's 'demotion' to Wheeling short-lived

Penguins coach Dan Bylsma offered an explanation for Eric Tangradi's big Wheeling adventure, but there is still an air of mystery

I think there's been a few players "sent" to Wheeling. Just an easier "drive" back to PGH.

Monday at 5PM EST

That's for cap compliance? Does that mean POJ would have to go on waivers on Sunday in order to send him down in time to clear?

Good question. I’m not sure about the waivers deadline but every team has to be cap compliant on Monday at 5PM.

I'm expecting the Penguins to get Zohorna back and be able to send him to the AHL.

I wonder what Zohorna is saying to himself right now.

wat?? I thought Flames offered him NHL time....
Thats a bit of a dick move by claiming him to waive him.... has there been other scenarios that played out exactly like this one?

yes

Yep, no SC for us…kiss of death…I don’t think they’ve ever been right lol…

The only way I could see Smith going down making sense is because the Penguins don't have their first game until Thursday, so sending him down for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday just gives them 3 extra days to either explore POJ's market or waive him. I think there is no chance that Smith doesn't play in the first game of the season, though.

They probably should have just waived POJ yesterday and tried to sneak him through waivers behind Valimaki.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

yes

It's playing out nearly exactly as I anticipated. What I did not anticipate was that Zohorna would be claimed on waivers.

tried to sneak him through waivers behind Valimaki.

That only works if Calgary told Hextall that Valimaki was being waived.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yeah that comment is a hindsight comment. In hindsight, they should have waived POJ and hid him behind Valimaki.

I don’t think they wanted to potentially lose both Friedman and POJ as good depth Dmen…think they held off on a move until today to see if Friedman clears…

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Interesting, Zohorna was waived by another team.

Someone was saying something about Zohorna and his value

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Do we know who clears waivers from yesterday before having to submit our waivers today? If Valimaki passes through then I suspect that's an indication that POJ would too.

About the same time…2 pm

He must be feeling zohornedup.










































I’ll show myself out.

 

[chethejet]

2 o'clock this after noon is the time that dictates some waiver claims. I still think Pens do a paper move on Smith and see if there is a potential deal with POJ or some one who is not considered irreplaceable. Teams have work to do and the fact there are many teams who need to get cap compliant will be interesting to see what happens. Pens will be compliant. But once the season starts having cap space will be a asset.

 

[PensandCaps]

wrong thread

 

[DesertPenguin]

I still have to think another move is coming. That 22 man roster would leave them compliant by only 44k, leaving no room for callups at all without a corresponding LTIR. That arrangement has burned us post trade deadline before. Assuming we will be that healthy all season is madness.

Not that I care to research.

Oh yeah, there 100% will be moves throughout the season to get a full 23-man roster. Injuries will happen not just on this team but others as well. I suspect that POJ, Pettersson, Blueger, McGinn, Kapanen, and even Dumoulin will be trade bait.

 

[Empoleon8771]

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Well dang, Arizona was a place I was hoping we'd send POJ or Pettersson.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I see nothing on twitter about Zohorna or Friedman. I wonder if that means that both of them cleared.
