I don't understand why people are saying this is bad for Bylsma, he clearly didn't like Kobasew, he had Engelland play forward over him.
I know people don't like Bylsma, but let's not act like Kobasew was one of his favorites, because just like D'Agostini, Bylsma couldn't care less about Kobasew playing.
Everything works pro-rated now, I know about that. In terms of TDL, it´s still 1.55M of capspace. You throw away Pyatt´s 1.55M(prorated), you can then add other 1.55M-ish contract.It's not 1.55 million.
The cap isn't a problem. Pierre McGuire said the Pens will have like 12 million of cap space because of injured guys they can put on LTIR.Everything works pro-rated now, I know about that.

Odd that Kobasew was at practice and playing on a line, then gets waived. You'd think they'd do that before practice, but hey, what do I know? Just glad they finally did it
oh ... and ...

Kind of shocked to see Nashville waiving Dubnyk so soon.
We don't need them in the regular season. I'm not sure we really need Letang at all given his play this season. It is fair to wonder how quickly Martin can get back to his normal form after returning but he's done it before. He was out until around the start of the playoffs last season with an injury.That assumes both Martin and Letang are out for the rest of the regular season. If that's the case, we are likely screwed anyway
Actually I meant since we claimed him off of waivers, we're not paying his full salary... but after checking capgeek, I'm kind of confused now.

mathematically, Martin is all but guaranteed to be out until the playoffs.
The upper end of the 4-6 week timetable pushes just into the start of the playoffs

Makes sense. Need room for Hemsky.
You just called everyone out over Gibbons/Megna and there's literally no proof that this move has anything to do with either of them.
1) someone would have to be brought in to play 1RW to get Gibbons on the 3rd line
2) Megna would have to be recalled
How were they wrong? Just because Kobe is waived doesn't mean Gibbons would be on a Bylsma 3rd line.
And Vokoun as well. I think it's really, really important that Vokoun gets a couple games under his belt before playoffs, so I'd rather Shero leave some space open for at least him to come back.
Again, you are attributing YOUR wants and beliefs to the Penguins organization and then using YOUR thoughts and beliefs to tell other people they were wrong when nothing to the contrary has happened.
Chuck Kobasew is still on the team and Gibbons has yet to take a regular 3rd line shift in his absence.
Shouldn't we wait for Gibbons or Megna to take a 3rd line shift before you say 'told ya so" ?
This season with Gibbons, that's not the case. He's played him up and down the lineup.
