Salary Cap: Pens Summer Salary Thread: Dull days of August... Oooo! A trade!

[Honour Over Glory]

Rutger might actually be an idiot (for choosing a Sullivan coached team).

 

[The Old Master]

That's what I thought. You got a winger for a center. That being the case, he'd have to be a decidedly better winger than Yager at Center. All being equal or pert near, you favor the center.

if yager can't put on some weight, it won't matter.

"I don't like how the Jets treat young players."

Goes to a team that doesn't give young players any sort of fair shot at all.


LOOOOOOL

McGroaty plays the type of game that Sullivan likes and has a history of overplaying. There's a far greater chance that he ends up Sullivans pet than left with little ice time.

Giving up Yager was blah.....

I have serious doubts.

But we got Fudd Ruckers, the bloke that didn't like to be on a team that actually played youth to one that basically closed all spots for youth with more vets.

This says he's up to 179. Believe he was 165 when we drafted him.

Sully might give him a shot because he's not Euro and is a yank.

Seams like Dubas and company is changing how this team will play. Bunting, Howe, McGroarty… think they are trying to follow the Florida panthers model now instead of the Maple Leafs model.

Your first mistake is assuming Kindergarten Kyle has a plan.

But Rutger is likely a good player. That’s usually the difference when giving young players a go.

This is less about the trade and more about Fudd Ruckers comments about the Jets and why he didn't want to sign. The Penguins are far more guilty of doing what he accused the Jets of than the Jets

I'd respect the dumb twat more if he just said he didn't want to live in Winnipeg instead of making of some bs and going to a team literally more guilty of it.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Personally, Chev wasn't in the the position to get back Brayden.

This is clearly a Dubas fail.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

The moment he gets no chances, I wouldn't be shocked if he's disgruntled and wants out again. His competition isn't much - Doc, Beauvillier, Acciari. I mean you'd have to be pure ass to not out play any of those given how weak the left side is. Bunting is the only one he isn't in competition with.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

You know what, my bad. Blokes want something to be happy about and this team has given us zero reasons for 7yrs. You lot go and enjoy this.

While somewhat true, Chevy wasn't completely at the mercy of any shitty offer that came along. He held McGroarty's rights for 2 more years. And if McGroarty walked after that, Chevy would've received a 2nd round pick as compensation. So there was a bar to be hurdled if not very high.

 

[Gurglesons]

Nah. Got a much better prospect and unique skill set for a prospect who had somewhat flatlined and doesn’t have the huge promise he may have heading into the draft last year.

You make that trade every day.

At least it’ll give Kyle a reason to fire Sully.

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

He's played both. He's listed as LW/C by EP and nearly everywhere else.


Someone is going to see those arms and insist he's needs to pack on 20lbs of raw, lean muscle in the next year in order to make it in the NHL.

He needs to pack on 40lbs of raw fat and ass if Sid is going to bounce pucks off him for goals

 

[Jacob]

I’m sure McGroarty’s camp touched base with Sullivan and they’re each satisfied with where they stand.

And Sullivan isn’t the type to lie and promise anyone a spot. He probably used the same platitudes about “opportunity” and “battling for a spot,” and maybe that’s all McGroarty needed. Maybe the Jets weren’t even doing that much.

 

[cookthebooks]

not knowing who executed it does this seem like a good hockey trade?

Until Rutger accidentally ices the puck. Or takes a ticky tacky hooking call.


It will be interesting, this is the best prospect Sully has had to deal with since Jake

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I will say I hope he wears #2. I think it's funny when blokes wear numbers that fans find odd for positions.

Sullivan is most definitely the type to speak out his ass.

How do you know what other teams offered?
