GDT: Trade Deadline: Tampa won the Jeannot sweepstakes!

[Dennis Reynolds]

For a 2nd.

Meanwhile Kappen is younger, cheaper and more ppg is waiver food.

But they're not comparable players and Neiderreiter is a much more valuable piece.

Your last point still true tho.

Niedereitter has 18 goals.
Kapanen has 7.

Niedereitter has 6 20 goal seasons and will likely have his 7th.
Kapanen has 1.

Niedereitter drives play and possession.
Kapanen floats.

Niedereitter is a physical presence.
Kapanen is not.

My point wasn't he's worth a 2nd too, it's that he should have been move able for at the very least a late round pick.

BEYOND terrible assessment management.

So how do we only have 400k in space now after letting Kap go?

 

[DearDiary]

Rutta came off LTIR

Where did you get the 400k number from? It's more like 1.8M

One of the threads here had a tweet posted. Maybe its 472k after Ruuta. But I don't understand how we were able to run negative like that all season. I thought we were around 400k with everyone up except Ty Smith.

Yeah the number I read was we have 1.8 million space with Kapanen gone.

 

[Freeptop]

The confusion around this is that in actual dollars, the cap space is about $400k, but when you factor in pro-rating the cap hit based on the number of games remaining, the Pens can add a player whose full-year cap hit is up to about $1.8M without having to unload additional salary in return.

Barring calling anyone up or making any further moves, then each day the full-year equivalent number will go up by a little bit, as the number of days the cap hit is being pro-rated against decreases.
CapFriendly shows that if they wait until the Trade Deadline, that number will rise to a little over $2M.

This, cap space and actual dollars are very different. We havent really accumulated space daily due to the amount of injury callups.

That’s what I mean by preference. There is no place in this country I would want to live less than Florida.

Humid and sticky. Dirty beaches. 1950s politics. Most of it will be under water soon.

Im from PA originally and live in Florida,I love it down here

 

[Tender Rip]

Hex is going to wait until the deadline to maximize cap, maybe/likely waive Friedman and/or send down DOC (grrr!) to get more, and see if the team gives him any reason to add in the games between now and then.

Would be my guess.

So they are similar players, if adjusted for their salaries?

Neiderreiter has a $4 million cap hit, just $750k more than Kapanen.

So one ruh more?

Now this is the kind of trade Hextall needs to make to save face: a washed up D man for a feisty forechecking forward who can score…would SJ take a Dumo for Meier trade?

Barbashev could be a Kunitz type.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Barbashev could be a Kunitz type.

I would have done a Barbashev for Kappy trade, but if I was St. Louis, why would I pay for what I can get for free?

Nah, The Pens should just bring back Tangradi instead.

Nino was available this summer as a free agent, but change scares Sleepy.

Maybe late career Kunitz lol…not as good a scorer…

Niedereitter and Kapanen are similar players in that they are largely flawed outside of a few aspects and are not heavy IQ players.

Nino loves to shoot which makes his fancy stats look much better than Kapanen. He has size and scores goals.

Kapanen had a similar rate of assists to what Nino does goalscoring wise.

He has speed and creativity with the puck, but also is dumb and is more of a perimeter player.

They both are the same type of flawed middle six guy that can’t carry a line.

One was waived, one fetched a 2nd round pick. Our dumbass GM signed the guy that ended up getting waived.

 

[HandshakeLine]

The asset management of this club has been weird since Hexy came over and it seems like they just kind of don't know what the team should be. Why go through all the trouble to sign Kap, not to use him, and ultimately to lose him to waivers? We could have done this whole dance months ago.
