Salary Cap: Pens Salary Thread: Pens Ownership "Dubas... that Coca-Cola machine. I want you to shoot the lock off it. There may be some waiver players in there."

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

can"t say this coach is not trying

Trying to force Malkin into retirement? Well yeah.

 

[vodeni]

Pod cant even score in the AHL and has questionable hockey IQ

perfect Penguin...but can he PK? ah?

 

[66-30-33]

Some have said the Predators might be a dark horse.
What else besides Kemmell and Tomasino would make you pull the trigger?

Don't know their prospects but i'd be fine if it's a great return we get in a trade that has Preds signing Jake right away. We can even deal them Smith and they can deal us Trenin.

 

[vodeni]

don't have much to contribute to this thread, other than to say that I firmly believe that whatever this management do will be wrong, they could trade Jake for mcDavid, Hughes, and Makar and we will still somehow be worse off as long as this coaching staff is here

The Devils btw have the same point percentage as the Pens.

But what if the guy they replaced Ruff with is worse? Huh? HUH!?

Finally some Canucks fans are starting to get it.

This is so stupid.

Is it wrong to suggest that the Devils had different expectations than the Penguins this year, though? The Devils were supposed to be one of the favorites in the east. The Penguins, though they talked about the Cup, were projected everywhere to be a fringe playoff team.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Devils fans wanted Ruff fired for years, even when the team was cruising on the back of guys like Hughes, Hischier, Hamilton, and Bratt. They were winning in spite of their coach. Dude's been on the executioner's block for two plus years by now.

 

[Gumbercules]

Zachary L'Heureux would be a fan favorite here. They have alot of prospects....

I'd love to have him in Pit. L'Heureux is the heir apparent to Marchand as the most hated player in the league. Unlikely to be as prolific a scorer as Marchand, but he drives people up the wall, very greasy and has good offensive skill to boot. Was suspended nine separate times in junior (including once for jabbing a fan with his stick). Not surprisingly his game is translating just fine at the pro level (top 5 in rookie scoring and top 5 in penalties minutes league wide). If he can reel it in just a little bit and learn to pick his spots a bit better, he is going to be a very effective player.

lol Jesus Christ you have an answer for everything.

Dubas said we were competing for the cup this year.

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Could an extended Guentzel land Kemell, L'Heureux, and Trenin? Pens probably have to add.

"We're EXTREMELY serious about Guentzel that we're willing to give up nothing of value!"

Which is why I wouldn't put much credence into the report that LEKK is off limits. And even if that is suggested, the market might dictate that is the price to pay. And if they don't pay it, guess what, plenty of other suitors, HOW 'BOUT THAT ONE!!!!!

lol Jesus Christ you have an answer for everything.

Dubas said we were competing for the cup this year.

Yeah, but we all knew after the first couple months it wasn't happening, how bout that one!!!! lol

The return would be immense for Jake. And I wouldn't rule him being signed out.

 

[Gurglesons]

But what if the guy they replaced Ruff with is worse? Huh? HUH!?

Don't worry.

We've got a plan to get younger.

That's why we are going to have Lars Eller, Noel Acciari and Erik Karlsson on our roster after the trade deadline.

Dammit Hextall!

I'm calling it, now... after "evaluating the coaching staff" in the off season and finding that they are completely blameless, Lars Eller will be signed by the FO to a three year ironclad extension (that Mike Sullivan totally had no input on) and becomes the new Big Jeff Carter.

 

[Maninthebox87]

I knew nothing of L’Heuraux before reading some of these posts and that’s exactly the kind of player I’d love to have… even if he can only pot in like 15-20 a year as long as he’s on the third line and is a pain in the ass to play against I love it. Knowing sully though first penalty he takes he’d be benched or healthy scratched.
Edit-just looking at stats he doesn’t have as many PIM as I thought he’d have.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'd add to Jake if it meant landing the king's ransom at the TDL. /shrug

Who gives a f*** about Poulin, Blomqvist or Pickering tbh.

Shit, trade Petts+ too. Nuke the roster. Have the spine to actually do something for once aside from shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic and saying dumb bullshit like "We're absolutely still trying to win the Cup, we believe in our guys, Sully's our coach" and somehow people still believing it.

I am interested in McDavid and the first round overall pick. But I am not willing to give more than Rust and a conditional third.


The media are being the media. GMs know better and are not that stupid.

 

[PensandCaps]

I think the off-season moves work out with a different coach, literally anyone else.

I couldn't believe Sullivan was coming into the season this year after Dubas got hired . No matter what moves they did in the off-season would have mattered if they were bringing Sullivan back, its doomed to fail.

Should have been gone after the embarrassing Montreal series, It's been groundhog's day ever since. Literally just bored of watching the same thing, not a fair weather fan but im not interested in watching repeats, seeing the same thing since 2018 over and over is tiring at this point.

I just don't want Jake in Edmonton. I want to use Jake to fortify my playoff cheering for team. I can't root against Jake THAT hard.

I feel like there is no doubt in my heart that Mike Sullivan will be back as coach next year.

@DesertedPenguin will also have some three paragraph reason why it makes sense and how Dubas has a plan despite signing a bunch more old guys in UFA.

We're getting younger!

*signs a bunch of 27/28 year old waiver garbage*

See? Younger.

Just think if he was an Oiler he would have 3 goals on Sunday easy.

Report: Stone out for season, questionable for playoffs

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone is expected to miss the rest of the regular season with an upper-body injury and is questionable to return for the playoffs, sources told TSN's Darren Dreger.Stone suffered the ailment during the Knights' 5-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Feb. 20...

Jake Guentzel, come on down!

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

yet the sports media conglomerate can't do it..

The consensus seems to be that FSG is worth collectively ~$7 billion. Of course they can't eat the $25 million owed to Sullivan, man. That's... Uhhh, 0.0036% of their net worth. You can't just be spending willy nilly like that.
