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

[66-30-33]

Imagine Dubas waited and we lost him for nothing and didn’t even make the playoffs still. I’m fine not keeping him around, we got something from him over not a damn thing. Same thing should happen with Petts.

I hate Jake and I hope he gets audited for the next 5 years.

Also I hope he breaks his eggs every time he puts his groceries in the carz

I hope Jake Guentzel always misses his credit card payments by one day.

What about a lumpy bed ?

It’s better than lumpy balls. Ask Phil.

Why the f*** are people wishing the Pens paid Guentzel 8.5 for 8 years over Bunting, Brunecke, Koivunen, Ponomarev and Lucius.

Cause he’s better than all that shit lol.

 

[HandshakeLine]

He is both better than that shit, but also we don’t have a reason to tie that money up with us because lol what difference would it make?

 

[Turin]

Cause he’s better than all that shit lol.

His presence was one of the stalest parts of the team by virtue of him being absolutely glued to Sids hip. I’m over it.

 

[K Fleur]

I’m glad Guentzel is gone too. Gonna be awesome to see DOC crack 35 points with a whole season on Crosby’s line.

 

[HandshakeLine]

who cares? Lol

we’re really gonna regret letting Neal go guys…

 

[HandshakeLine]

Oh no, the team might SUCK

 

[BusinessGoose]

Oh no, the team might SUCK

You need to put nerd glasses on

Then you'll see the PLAN

 

[Gurglesons]

“The plan”

What was so awesome about the team the last two seasons with Guentzel on it?

Half off Jake Shakes

 

[AuroraBorealis]

We gave Gonchar a total of $25M for five years at the very beginning of the Cap Era. It seems to have worked out well.

We gave that to him at a time directly preceding the ascension arc. The timing made sense.
This is not the same. We are like 3-4 years away from even fully pushing the reset button, let alone pushing to win rounds.
This is not the time to burn tens of millions of precious cap space. We need it to be converted into picks, cuz our prospect pool is barren.

Pettersson just hanging out is not at all worth the picks we'd sacrifice.

 

[Tom Hanks]

[Ugene Magic]

People are just in a hurry to get nowhere...

Cuz they care about short term enjoyment with goal scoring over long-term prosperity of the team.
It's the same reason they wanna keep the core-3.

They just use the excuse that they need to honor them. It's really about being less bored in upcoming games.

I don’t like quitters in life, work, or sports.

If the routes had been exhausted, I’d get the idea of packing it in.

What I see from my end is a GM who can’t make big swings and who can’t make the tough decisions just like in Toronto so he’s taking the easy out of “rebuild” because the prolongs the amount of rope he gets.

I wasn’t alive for the Mario tank. The 2002 season and beyond was largely forced on the team financially.

We have one of the richest ownerships in the league now and we are choosing to be the most milque toast franchise because it’s too hard to make tough decisions.

Suck after next season so we grab McKenna.

Everyone enjoy your summer.

If we somehow finish in the top 3 this year Frondell would be a very solid pick that could potentially be a franchise guy.

I don’t trust Hagens.

No clue who the next draft class is, hell I don’t even know who this draft class were including our guys we just got.

I almost wish that were the case. But it's worse than that. It's not that they think it's too hard to make tough decisions, it's that they truly don't think firing the coach is a good decision.

That's the scary part. They literally think they've got a generational coach and firing him would be a bad hockey decision.
