Salary Cap: Pens Summer Salary Thread: We Hayes Dubas's offseason moves so far

[Gurglesons]

Yeah, honestly I don’t understand that. The only thing I can think of is that he’s not sure he wants to play here…

Unless he suddenly becomes a NCAA player he literally has no choice.

I hate entitled players. Hopefully he's not one of them.

Why? He can inform the Pens he has no intention of signing here and play anywhere that will have him, including Sweden, KHL etc…he can force the Pens to trade his rights…

Brainwash them young huh? i'd never say that when I was a kid over a rivalry jersey, probably because I was a team hopper jumping from Canadian team to Canadian team until 95 when I watched Mario.

I mean, sure he can do that, but why would he do that when he can get 800k here.

If that were the case however I doubt he'd show up to rookie camp two years in a row and training camp last year.

I honestly think it's on Kyle to get this kid signed.

Imagine a player doing that how much of an entitled brat you start thinking this guy is. It's the league you dream of playing in but "nope, don't wanna play there". You're lucky to get a chance to play in the NHL.

 

[Ryder71]

I hate entitled players. Hopefully he's not one of them.

I doubt it for the reasons I stated above. He's been here every opportunity he could. Rookie camp, the rookie tourny, training camp then this years rookie camp.

If he didn't want to be here why does he keep showing up?

 

[Ryder71]

Regardless of the reason he needs to be signed.

The ONLY reason to wait is to maybe see if he makes the team THEN sign him for some good PR.

Although that seems like a reach. But, there's not much optimism otherwise for this team.

I meant in general, I hate that shit.

We’re at max contracts now.

 

[SEALBound]

If the plan is to already send him back to WHL, is there any positive to signing him to the ELC? They are three years. Sign now and one is burned. If we wait until next summer, that saves him an ELC year, no?

Sounds a lot like the attitude of user Ryder71 when Sid won’t leave PIT

 

[SEALBound]

We’re at max contracts now.

Darn...I guess we have to give Nieto, Eller, and Acciari away for next to nothing now!

 

[Ryder71]

We’re at max contracts now.

Yeah, we're at or near the limit. Gotta move somebody out.

At least I'm not a Caps fan.

IF we don't sign him he CAN go back into the '25 draft.

And no, IF he go's back to Juniors we don't burn a year on his entry level contract.

Cutter Gauthier just did that in January lol…

 

[SomeDude]

We’re at max contracts now.

Junior eligible players do not count towards the 50 contract limit unless they play more than 9 NHL games.

Ryder should have posted better, smdh.

Darn...I guess we have to give Nieto, Eller, and Acciari away for next to nothing now!

I mean, we won't, but don't threaten me with a good time!

 

[Gurglesons]

Gauthier did it because of the NCAA clause.

Not at all actually

If there was any indication he would sign, I think we'd have already seen a Yager for McGroarty swap.

 

[Turin]

Yeah, honestly I don’t understand that. The only thing I can think of is that he’s not sure he wants to play here…

Yea that's the only possible reason. Good as gone imo.

All because of Ryder too.

Usually these ELCs come with some sort of signing bonus that allows the player to hire a chef or nutritionist. Other than that, no real reason to sign them early. If Yager is signed now, his ELC would slide a year wouldnt be used up until he plays 9 games in the NHL or plays in the AHL.

Really is a damn shame. Could have all been so easily avoided.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

The good thing about the last couple of pages of this thread is now I want them to win even more, just to spite Pix. I'm not sure they will, in fact it's 50% at best. I don't even like Kyle Dubas. But LFG, guys.

This place became a lot more confusing to follow after I expanded the size of my ignore list...

Yea that's the only possible reason. Good as gone imo.

You mean Pixies.
