Salary Cap: 2017-18 Roster Building Thread VI | Contract/FA charts in Post #1 | CAP SET at $75M

[Shrimper]

Pens should hit up Ryan Murphy (D) - GMJR drafted him 12th overall in 2011

Pens should also hit up Andrei Loktionov (C) - he wants to come back to the NHL and GMJR traded for him in 2014

Pass on Murphy. Not interested in Loktionov.

 

[PensandCaps]

Did you watch any Florida last year, or are you just statwatching? I already know the answer, btw.

yes, actually. did you watch any? lol suggesting Jussi should hang them up is asinine.

Panthers are one of my favorite teams.

 

[Nakawick]

That doesn't answer my question at all...

You literally just repeated what you originally said instead of responding to my "okay, but who?" question

On Duchene:



Please go to Nashville or just rot in Colorado.

I have been giving names for our centers for the last 2/3 weeks on who I think we can target and afford and who replace what Bones and Cullen brought. Probably a trade and a UFA. I would do Duchene if it didn't involve Sprong and sign a veteran like Cullen or Moore. Ideally Duchene and Boyle, but I am not holding my breath there. I would settle for Eakin and Boyle and I think that is quite doable. I want this team in a position to win another back to back while we have cheap wingers and MM signed cheap and before our stars start to decline or injuries catch up to them. I think the worst thing we can do is nothing or go cheap quality and think we are going to pull it off. I am confident JR and the front office, Sully, Sid and Geno and pretty much everyone in the organization realizes the unique oppourtunity the franchise has at this moment in time. Going cheap and Lazy isn't the right move.

1st+Murray+ Milano+something else might make sense. Sakic will want someone of higher caliber than Murray though. No idea what he thinks hes gonna get.

They'll offer Murray, he'll ask for Werenski or Jones and it'll all fall apart just like every other rumored offer so far for Duchene, who is apparently the most valuable player in the history of the NHL.

Probably wanting S Jones

Theres hard bargaining and then theres whatever Sakic is doing...

 

[Malkinstheman]

Probably wanting S Jones

Jones + 1st + prospect, because why not.

 

[DegenX]

I'm all in on Nonsense.

But where are you at on Stuff?

 

[Shrimper]

Jokinen isn't quick enough and I think he would be worse than Bonino at 3C. I seem to recall people here got annoyed by him a lot when he played

 

[davemess]

What time tomorrow can the UFAs start officially signing contracts?

The Penguins aren't going to get Duchene without an obscene payment, so he's out. Eakin had even a worse season than Jokinen had last year, so I don't know how you'd be fine with him but Jokinen would be terrible. Eakin had 12 points in 60 games last year. You didn't really answer my question outside of those two guys, all of this:

Doesn't answer my question of "okay, who?". You gave one guy that the Penguins realistically can't get and another guy who also had an awful season last year.

 

[Shrimper]

what time tomorrow can the ufas start officially signing contracts?

12pm est

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Theres hard bargaining and then theres whatever Sakic is doing...

Waiting for the world to end so he doesn't have to risk screwing this up.

 

[PensandCaps]

Jokinen isn't quick enough and I think he would be worse than Bonino at 3C. I seem to recall people here got annoyed by him a lot when he played

he would be worse, but not by much at all. Bones aint quick either....

 

[Shockmaster]

Trade rumor forums suggest Jenner is definitely part of the discussion for Duchene now.

 

[Shrimper]

Rumour Jenner and Murray were included to get Duchene

 

[Empoleon8771]

Thinking about it some more, I think I'd be on board with bringing in Teravainen to be the 3C. I don't think the Penguins realistically have the assets to bring him in, and with Carolina needing centers I don't know why they'd trade Teravainen unless he couldn't play center, but I think he'd have a really high potential here.

 

[davemess]

12pm est

Cool cheers, 5pm for us then.

 

[Dying Alive]

If that's the package for a top line C I'm even more grateful for Sid & Geno. CBJ is going to sell the farm for Duchene to try to keep pace with the Pens.

 

[ColePens]

All these buy outs are why players shouldn't give discounts to teams.

Your question was answered weeks before you asked it. This nonsense is over.

They are way too obsessed with us

Yes, Alot of Skill there. There were rumors of Carolina wanting to trade him at the TDL, so maybe he is available.

 

[billybudd]

yes, actually. did you watch any? lol suggesting Jussi should hang them up is asinine.

Right.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Your question was answered weeks before you asked it. This nonsense is over.

So you won't actually provide any examples? Okay

If you answered it already, why not just give some players? Like it would take you 10 seconds to list a couple guys who would be better options. You refusing to do that makes me think you don't have any better options.
