I absolutely despised his hiring. I was ticked off. So happy to be eating plenty of crow now.
His problem was he needed a fresh start and Carolina was a budget team, not much they could do so his trades looked bad as he was forced to overpay to get anyone.

You can't retain for specific years, it must be both years. And Rip's call of Rowney playing L4 RW seems to be closer to reality at this point.

Unless we can score another wing...hopefully JR is not done and we'll be even more hated by Monday

So the Pens have around $1.3 million in cap space now. I looked up the rules and basically when you divide the days in the season, 186, by remaining days, around 50, it means you can sign someone with a contract that for the year is about 3.5 times the cap space you have. So we can sign a guy with a north of $4 million cap hit annually on defense.

Did I read that right?

I wonder if JR might have mentioned that to GMGM?

No joke immediately I told my brother I think this is the ultimate payback from teh 2017 agreement for MAF. JR held his word. GMGM comes back and gives the Pens something back. There is NO reason for GMGM to do that... other than respect for an old school handshake.

If somehow we don't win the cup, and I mean this sincerely. I hope Vegas does, for many reasons including tonight.

That is what I think too. That's payback for Fleury.

That is how these old school guys work.

I actually feel kinda dirty now. That's a video game trade and the result is a ridiculous looking roster.

Now all we need to do is get Brassard to gel in and stay reasonably lucky
