Salary Cap: Investigating contract prorating heart palpitating here's the deadline heart flatline

[deakka]

And Florida got Hudler. good day for them

 

[JakeNBake59]

stop talking about Russel please HNIC

 

[Zirakzigil]

Like that move for the Panthers and Flames. He will really fit in well there.

 

[plaidchuck]

Another deadline where good teams get better and we pray the pens don't make a deal.

JR won't be able to resist the temptation. I just hope it's not Russell.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Damn, I wish JR would have done that for Hudler. That's a great deal.

 

[Sideline]

JR won't be able to resist the temptation. I just hope it's not Russell.

I mean if it's for like a 4th rounder I won't care, but we all know it'll be Sprong and a 2nd.

 

[M0NTY26]

I would've liked Hudler to the Pens. He's always been a threat in my book. Would've fit well in our top six.

 

[PensandCaps]

How does polak get 2 2nds, but hudler only one 2nd and a 4th? Lmao.

 

[PensandCaps]

Damn, I wish JR would have done that for Hudler. That's a great deal.

Yea, me too

 

[deakka]

IF Russel could just go off the market so i dont have to loose anymore sleep i would be a happy camper. I swear to god hes a Scuderi Jr.

Russell's the modern day Defensive D. Someone who can skate and move the puck decently enough but is relied on for shot blocking.

I get that we don't want to add another small guy, but if they want to commit to a philosophy of a defensive group that can skate/move the puck and a fast forward group that forces opposing teams to chase all game, then I can respect that.

I wonder if Russell's terrible numbers have something to do with being overplayed on a bad team. I believe his possession numbers were fine in years past in a bottom pairing role. Which is what he will be here.

 

[Nakawick]

Damn, I wish JR would have done that for Hudler. That's a great deal.

We would likely have had to give Salary. Hudler will get to play with Jagr and Barkov perhaps.

 

[T1K]

IF Russel could just go off the market so i dont have to loose anymore sleep i would be a happy camper. I swear to god hes a Scuderi Jr.

He's way more mobile and offensively talented than Scuds, with that being said, I hope we don't trade for him.

 

[Extra Texture]

I'm weirdly happy all these marquee targets are drying up, and going to the already heavily favored teams in the league.

I keep telling myself that a JR who has shown reservations parting with our last high end prospects in the recent past, is a JR who will not suddenly move them for the likes of Kris Russell. Or Boedker for that matter.

That's what I am telling myself, anyway. Who knows what ownership is thinking/feeling about this team's chances.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Someone please take holland, paranteau and russel

 

[mpp9]

I wonder if Boedker ends up going for alot less than what was expected. If he'd only cost a 2nd and we strike out on a D-man. I'd be down just to go all in on speed.

 

[Extra Texture]

Another deadline where good teams get better and we pray the pens don't make a deal.

Ever since "all in" I say **** the big deadline acquisition. I know that singular bad experience has just jaded me to no end, but with this team currently in flux (coaching, identity, FO) I think it would be a complete waste to pick up anyone now. And ever since 2013 guys like Stempniak or Winnik or JoyLove are hardly going to convince anyone otherwise.

Now, a "hockey trade" during the rest of the season/summer. That has been a different story for us, recently.

 

[PensandCaps]

Wrong thread. Lol

For a cheap enough price, I'd love to have him. We'd need to send out salary I'd think, right?

 

[Empoleon8771]

At least so far, it appears that wingers at the deadline will be cheap but D will be very expensive. I think I'd rather try and pull off Boedker than pay the same assets for Russell.

 

[mpp9]

Yeah, unless Arizona would retain, which it sounds like they would.

I don't think Boedker should return any more than Hudler did with the seasons they're having and same UFA status. And it was basically a 2nd. The 4th is in 2018. By the time a 2018 4th pans out, 87/71 will be mid-30s.

I hope they have an open mindset about that. If Boedker's the better deal, go get him and find a depth D for insurance.

yeah I'd do that deal for sure.

 

[Ian Moran Icing]

I'm on the acquire Boedker bandwagon too. Yotes fans said he can play LW as good as RW
