They already have Hayes.this doesn't mean Carter is coming back does it?

Retention now = Petry and Smith? This means an EK65 trade at the deadline is possible. If we are out of it I expect that to happen.
And JJ still, I believe. Paying all three right around Hayes money in dead cap space.
we would need to fire somebody to do that.No retention? No cap going the other way? If so I'll kiss Dubas's ring. I assumed the return for Smith would be less than what we paid for him, or we would have to retain.
Now go use the cap to fix the PP. Can we still fit Laine?
That's a buyout, so it doesn't count towards the retention slot.And JJ still, I believe. Paying all three right around Hayes money in dead cap space.
I'd rather have a righty but Tarasenko fits the mold of what I'm looking for.It’s not about getting my hopes up. I’m just curious to see what we do.
Tarasenko on a 1 year deal to swap out at the deadline for a low round pick? Or even using the cap space to facilitate a cap dum
Why?If I were the core, I would just retire.
Easy to say, but probably tough to leave several million on the table when you’re looking at a long lifetime in front of you with much lower pay.If I were the core, I would just retire.
JJ is a buyout which is different that retention IIRC. We have up to 3 contracts we can retain on.

i can see ek moving, but the other 3 ????Why?
Each could be a key part of an actual Cup favorite team if moved and could add to their legacy. Especially Crosby, Letang, EK.
It still eats at the cap, which sucks, and goes for one more season.Right sorry. Been a day at work and trying to distractedly post in between lol
It seems like they want to end their careers in Pittsburgh.i can see ek moving, but the other 3 ????
Sid already has more money than he knows what to do with, same with Malkin, Letang. It's all ego from here out for any additional core contracts.Easy to say, but probably tough to leave several million on the table when you’re looking at a long lifetime in front of you with much lower pay.
They’re chasing records and legacy. No reason to retire yet.If I were the core, I would just retire.
