Penguins reduce their roster by 6 players

[Jacob]

Are people still getting duped by these cap roster moves?

Yes. It's insane.

Nothing should surprise me, anymore.

But I admit this did.

Come on now, people.

Seriously. This happens every year. I'll admit I was alarmed when Tangradi was sent to Wheeling years ago, but then capgeek saved us all with the explanation.

 

[systemsgo]

Don't we do something similar most years? Last year Kapanen was recalled for cap reasons even though he left to go back to Finland didn't he? Why are people jumping all over this?

I mean... weren't there even a few articles or at least blurbs in articles to the effect of "prepare for some waiver wire weirdness that is strictly cap related in the next few days" or something similar? Hell... we all even talked about it being a thing here, I think.

I can't link it from here but Colligan has a good breakdown/explanation of everything for those that want to read about it

We should still have cap space to keep Sundqvist, yes? I want him in the lineup tomorrow ahead of Farnham. His size, versatility, overall skill and defensive awareness are all needed on this team. I don't think his growth/development would get stumped playing in the bottom six. He has already played with men at a very high level, he's not as raw as some prospects.

Yes we can keep him in the NHL. I like him there for the reasons you listed as well as for Sprong. I'd like to see the kid play with decent players during his 9 game stint. A Sundqvist-Cullen-Sprong line could be pretty interesting.

Did you mean this : Why was Olli Maatta demoted by the Penguins?

That's the one. Thank you good sir

Agreed. Still want to see Sprong and BB getting some shifts with Geno on his RW, though.

You want to see Geno on wing again? Whaaatt??

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

No. Just no. Let's not do THAT again.

 

[ILikeTurtles]

He wants Geno at center and Sprong or Bennett on the RW. Won't happen with Hornqvist and Kessel however.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

She meant one of those two at RW with Malkin as center.

And I agree. I'd personally like to see it for entire games.

 

[DegenX]

Not Geno on wing ... as Geno's RW

Sorry if that wasn't worded very clearly. I meant Plots-Geno-BB or Plots-Geno-Sprong

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Sprong for centre.

Bennett-Sprong-Perron/Malkin

Balance, depth, ohhhh, ahhh.

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

Oh. Then yes. Absolutely lol

I thought it was bizarro world. You generally post some good stuff. I had wondered if you started going nuts

 

[Headshot77]

Sundqvist-Cullen-Sprong would be an amazing 4th line

 

[SirBrad]

Did you mean this : Why was Olli Maatta demoted by the Penguins?

oh my that's painful.

No I gotcha. I was just messing, since that's how I read it initially before taking a second. Sorry if -that- wasn't clear.

 

[madinsomniac]

I think he meant "with Geno, on His(genos) wing.... lol

 

[Shady Machine]

oh my that's painful.

What's painful?

 

[The Old Master]

He wants Geno at center and Sprong or Bennett on the RW. Won't happen with Hornqvist and Kessel however.

why? horny can crash the net from the left side just as easy from the right.

 

[tom_servo]

Casual fans took the move at face value. So what.
