Salary Cap: Boring Thread Titles Are Awesome! Get Your Phil HERE! Saad Day Indeed!

[thecore]

Sutter + Pouliot is definitely overpayment for an unsigned Saad, but I probably still would have done it. Looks like Chicago was more interested in forwards, though. Strange deal.

 

[OnMyOwn]

A dream world maybe

 

[Jaded-Fan]

The thing is he can still be offer sheeted.

Imagine trading DP + Sutter then having him sign elsewhere and getting a 1st and 3rd.

The Pens couldn't take that chance.

Hell, we could offer sheet him and may still do that.

 

[djt153]

cant someone just offer sheet him tomorrow? what he wants from the hawks and jackets arent necessarily the $ame, right?

Agreed.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Well, let's hit the bridges

 

[billybudd]

We need to immediately call Columbus and see if we can get this guy for different pieces. Hope to God that he says he smells a homecoming and says he doesn't want to play there.

I think this negatively affects Kessel's value actually. Saad getting traded just shows that they couldn't move Sharp. If Sharp, who had a down year and costs $5.9 million per season, couldn't get moved, I don't think that bodes well for Kessel.

At this point I trade Maata to TOR for Kessel + Pens 2nd 2016, and do a 6M offer sheet on Saad. **** it all.

 

[StroShow]

And Chicago takes the worse package to do PIT a favor?

Kapanen > Dano
Sutter = Anismov
Wilson = Morin
3rd > 4th

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

WOWOWOWOOWOWOWWOw, with that happening. Id say we pretty much have to get Kessel

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

Kapanen > Dano
Sutter = Anismov
Wilson = Morin
3rd > 4th

False

True

They do need D, so I don't know if it's out of the question. Still, I'm thinking Kessel's price just dropped some.

 

[crossicepass]

So, BS and DP & Perron wouldn't have gotten Saad? Wow, shows you what other teams think about those three.

 

[canadon]

 

[Honour Over Glory]

What in the blue ****, Chicago....i wonder if the Pens can get him from the Jackets for Pouliot.

 

[Giskard]

All this weird trades put the Lovejoy for Despres in a different prospect.
Now wait for Saad not signing in Columbus ...

 

[goosecrosby]

So if they don't sign him by tomorrow (is that the deadline?), what are our chances?

 

[billybudd]

Kapanen > Dano
Sutter = Anismov
Wilson = Morin
3rd > 4th

I'd definitely rather have Morin than Wilson. I don't know that I'd trade 1 of Morin for 3 of Wilson.

 

[Shockmaster]

At this point I trade Maata to TOR for Kessel + Pens 2nd 2015, and do a 6M offer sheet on Saad. **** it all.

That would be a knee-jerk move.

 

[Contender]

 

[AR5]

 

[canadianguy77]

This makes me happy that Chicago probably holds on to Sharp now.

 

[Human]

Agreed.

maybe, but I would have loved Saad instead of Kessel. maybe that's just me, but Saad is younger, he makes **** out of nothing in the playoffs and he will sign a cheaper contract than Kessel eventually.

not to say I wouldn't want Kessel, but I totally would have preffered Saad.

 

[djt153]

and there we have it. cbj on the clock
