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

[Malkinstheman]

Carolina just did it. And form what i understand theres no rules how much cash you can pay later?

There's limits to how low the cap hit can go but I'm not sure how that's calculated. With that Jarvis contract, I believe 40% of the contract is deferred but the cap hit only dropped from 7.9m to 7.4m. Going from a 10m caphit to 1m can't happen

Pretty sure Dubas will make a cap space move here and Eller is the best player that he can move for a decent pick. I am not one to believe the Hayes deal was necessary even with the pick at the time. But Dubas has to live with Eller or maybe Acciari heading out.

 

[Jacob]

We’re under the cap still so I don’t see any trades being necessary.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Don't circumvent the cap, that's a worse offense to the NHL than sexual assault and the covering up of sexual assault.

 

[Gurglesons]

We’re under the cap still so I don’t see any trades being necessary.

Yeah, we are at 15 forward and 7 D with Jarry and Ned and still under the cap.

That is without Nieto on LTIR.

DOC - Sid - Rust
Bunting - Malkin - Rakell
Beauvillier - Hayes - Glass
Lizotte - Eller - Acciari
McGroarty
Puustinen

Pettersson - EK
Gryz - Letang
Graves - St Ivany
Aho

Jarry
Ned

Gives you 800+k

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Can't help but want Hayes to have an amazing season given all he's gone through recently.

I hope so as well. 10 goals 15 assists over 82 games is my prediction of him being here if used heavily defensively.

 

[chethejet]

Dubas was stuck last year with zero room and my guess is he wants more wiggle room. Eller being moved makes sense and gives them close to 3 million and with Nieto on LTIR, that should be enough to give him a move or two if needed. He can also make a couple guys fighting for roster spots go down and save some money there.

 

[Fordy]

i’ve been confused about what’s going on with nieto for months… yet i have no desire to actually figure it out

 

[OnMyOwn]

I’m guessing they just go to camp and let it play out. Whoever looks like they’re not making it will get waived/traded.

 

[Rakell67]

See I think Rutger McGroarty will be like Joe Dziedzic or Eric Tangradi. That way there's only one way to go and that's up.

Do you see any Dan LaCouture in him?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Do you see any Dan LaCouture in him?

Danny Lac was another I was gonna mentioned. Good call.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I saw someone in a Chris Tamer Pens jersey a few years ago and I thought it was the coolest jersey ever until I saw someone in a Sergei Zubov Pens jersey.

Saw one of these in the wild at a coyotes v pens game a few years ago and I had to flag the guy down to give him props.

 

[Tender Rip]

Has Sully said anything about wanting to play in a particular way that is particularly different from previously desired… particularity?

Asking for a friend.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Sullivan has never explained anything about their strategy besides paying the right way

 

[Gurglesons]

Sullivan, Kyle Dubas, and Crosby are all so tight because all of them know how to sound smart in the media without saying anything of consequence.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

People keep saying Eller is going to be traded due to the logjam of bottom sixers we have, but I see no one else on the roster capable of handling the MS 3rd line center defensive assignments and actually not getting caved in. Hayes is not that guy, and is much closer to a healthy scratch than being that guy. If we get to the TDL and Eller is as good as last year, and we're out of it, then trade him for value then.

 

[Nakawick]

Too many people wanting to move Eller.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

If possible I'd move Acciari before Eller.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

I really don't think the team is terribly interested in moving Eller as Sullivan seems to adore him based on deployment. But hey if some team calls dangling a big fat 2nd rounder in 2027 or something then all bets are off.

Pens are going to own every 2nd round pick in 2027.

All of your Johannes Salmonsson are belong to us

 

[Andy99]

If possible I'd move Acciari before Eller.

Yeah but no one will be interested in trading for him because he has that stupid extra year on his contract and is overpaid as is…also stupid limited NMC…they should but won’t waive him.. they don’t treat vets like that and Sullivan and Dubas love him lol…think PK!

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

All of your Johannes Salmonsson are belong to us

They will go 0-32 in the second round with those picks because this is the Penguins.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Eller is 35 and UFA, but I think both he and Acciari should be gone.

They have Hayes, Lizotte, Glass and Bemstrom.

It opens up 4.450 in cap.

 

[eXile3]

I think people vastly overestimate other teams desire to take our overpaid 4th liners.
