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

[Honour Over Glory]

Some media tossers and dipshit fans that love to hate on Malkin are doing their usual brain dead commentary, typical each year unfortunately.

It's pretty dumb even for the usual suspects.

 

[Jacob]

I think we get Kotkaniemi.

 

[Gurglesons]

I think we get Kotkaniemi.

I doubt it. Center depth is already too much.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I think we get Kotkaniemi.

Might as well add another guy whose shot takes a million years to get off and is inconsistent as hell.

It's good to have a type.

Would it make sense to sign JVR for LW depth and help on the PP, move Eller out...

Van Riemsdyk Crosby Rust
Bunting Malkin Rakell
O'Connor Hayes Beauvillier
Puljujarvi Lizotte Acciari
Poulin Puustinen Bemstrom

 

[BusinessGoose]

No more late 30s ex-flyers

But he's also an ex-Leaf so Dubas can't resist.

If Carolina was willing to take Eller, Acciari, and Graves, I might consider it.

 

[Andy99]

If Carolina was willing to take Eller, Acciari, and Graves, I might consider it.

I think the idea was that Carolina still has a buy out window from Necas arbitration case and would buy him out to get more cap space to sign Jarvis…the buy out is low because he’s age 24…at least that’s the rumor theory lol…the Pens or any team would then sign him for cheap

Yeah but that doesn't help us really. That just adds one more non-impact bottom 6 player. We need fewer, not more.

Why Eller?

 

[Andy99]

I never said it was a good idea just that that’s what Jacob meant imo…not a trade…because Carolina has no reason to trade for our crap lol

 

[Gurglesons]

Koko makes absolutely no sense here with the acquisition of Hayes.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

What are the odds we get a Crosby signing on Wednesday?

I mean, they have to be higher than any other day this month, right?

 

[wheelz87]

What are the odds we get a Crosby signing on Wednesday?

I mean, they have to be higher than any other day this month, right?

I start legit worrying about Sid starting 8/8 if he’s still unsigned.

Yeah, if not Wednesday then not until training camp

I start legit worrying about Sid starting 8/8 if he’s still unsigned.

No, when the season begins lol

 

[HandshakeLine]

I don't actually care if Crosby signs anymore.

 

[OnMyOwn]

He doesn’t have to until next offseason. I wouldn’t worry about it at all, tbh.

 

[Jacob]

Koko makes absolutely no sense here with the acquisition of Hayes.

I think Hayes is the 4C. Kotkaniemi is a long-term middle-6 solution.

 

[Gurglesons]

I think Hayes is the 4C. Kotkaniemi is a long-term middle-6 solution.

This team can't afford to spend 8 mil on their bottom six centers. Makes no sense, man. Hayes is 100% the 3C.

 

[canadianguy77]

Why am I getting Marner rumors on my FB feed? Saying Eller and Yager and 2 1sts and they retain 5.5. Nonsense right?

Also this site has really gone to hell. The ads are horrendous. Is there any way to pay and remove them?

 

[Jacob]

This team can't afford to spend 8 mil on their bottom six centers. Makes no sense, man. Hayes is 100% the 3C.

Where else are they gonna spend the remaining 4 million or whatever? We have expensive goaltending, expensive wingers, an expensive top 4 D.

 

[Gurglesons]

I imagine they don't spend it, or they acquire a top nine LW to push DOC down while moving out one of Acciari or Eller.

Could see us trying to pull Tomasino or Parssinen out of Nashville too without any moves.
