Salary Cap: Penguins salary cap and line up thread

[Gurglesons]

This is the most likely outcome TBH.

The team is going to start sucking long before Sid & Geno retire. Look at them now - they suck with all of these guys right now.

We are a 100 pt team. The Metro isn’t really getting any better either and Tampa, Toronto and Florida are all going to start falling off too.

I don’t seen any reason why we’d suck next year. Might be a drop off, but we will be in a battle for a playoff position most likely.

All the Malkin people care about are the following in order:

1. Highlights which happen like 1 in every 10 games at this point.

2. Stats (see point per game and disregard plus minus or record)

3. Being an “important” voice on a hockey messageboard controlling a narrative.

4. Attacking detractors with valid criticism

5. Penguins winning.


Let’s see what the new ownership group cares about.

Over the last 2 months we are pacing at what, 70-80 points?

Yeah, but an NHL season isn’t 2 months.

Anaheim was the best team in the league for 2 months.

1) More people agree with the idea that Malkin shouldn't be brought back next year. Just generally they are silent on this board because they will be shouted down by the predominant opinion.

2) You have been trying to axe Malkin for years which is incorrect.

March+April: 12-11-3

.519

85 point pace.

Yeah, that ain't good.

I guess bringing back 71 and 58 and starting to tank again aren't mutually exclusive. We'll see if we rack up tons of November-December "Jack Adams" points again though.

Is this fan fantasy, because if it is, I’m loving it? Please write more…just leave out Lemieux in a room with Yohe and Kingerski…that’s a little out there, even for fantasy geeks

Thank you

Disliked for criticizing a professional sports athlete who gets paid 9.5 million dollars and often plays against the grain of the team.

Thanks for the nice words.

Disliked for being a wretch.

You're like a Hallmark movie villain.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Yeah Letang and Rust are gone after the year.

Meh oh well.

Meh, if we get Klingberg and Forsberg as their replacements, I’ll drive them to the airport myself.

I shudder to ask, but what lines has Sully been rolling in practice ahead of tomorrow’s game?

 

[canadianguy77]

Guentzel-Crosby-Rust
Heinen-Malkin-Rakell
McGinn-Carter-Kapanen
Boyle-Blueger-Rodrigues

Dumoulin-Letang
Matheson-Ruhwedel
Pettersson-Marino
Beaulieu-Friedman

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I’d rather have Rakell than Rust.

I doubt that’s the case. Maybe if he wants the same salary…I could see it. But if he’s willing to take a paycut to help the team be more competitive, you probably cant find 20% on this board who would want him gone.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I think most of us are certain that Crosby will retire a Penguin, but will there ever be a time that he’s off L1 because of his age? I know his conditioning is excellent.
Logically Hextell would try to make some type of splash in bringing in the next guy or is it going to be slumming it after the core are done?

Locked to figure out wtf I just waded into.
